Article 3 - Disagreement

Some of the points in this artice are valid but then some I dont necessarily agree with. Firstly I like the term that the author uses "Net Generation" as in the next generation who have grown up with the internet. This proves valid from his point of the mixture of the grandchildren of the baby boom (so to speak!) happen to have been born into the digital revolution which has then led to a social transformation. I do agree that this does seem to be what has caused this immediate interest in technology although I wouldnt have necessarily thought so until the author of this article had put the idea into my head. If the digital revolution had not occured then these children would have been born and brought up with the same technological devices and ideas as their parents. Also if this surge of children had not been born at this particular time, the man power needed to advance technology the way that it has would not have occured. Therefore I do agree that these two factors play a huge part in the digital world today.

One main point i cant really agree with is the idea that the broadcast culture has some what dwindled in recent years. I know personally I love watching the TV and im an avid soap watcher. I also talk to family and friends regularly about what we view on TV and very few say that they dont watch much TV at all. If anything I think that the broadcast culture has expanded with shows such as Big Brother (Reality TV), Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway (Entertainment) and Desperate Housewives (Drama). These daya there is lot more choice for the viewer, therefore many more are more likely to be satisfied and therefore watch TV. Although i can see that the use of the internet has expanded which may lead the author to make such comments about the broadcast culture. But I know personally that i can multi-task can use the internet and watch TV at the same time. Therefore there is room for disagreement within this article.
