Embrace Media Fast for Insight
Responsible citizenship requires critical reflection on the impact of new media. Past media, like television in the 50s and 60s, prompted a suggestion for a six-month fast to assess its societal effects, highlighting the chaos inherent in unexamined consumption. Despite the call for action, society often resists such introspection. The chaos factor in communication stresses the urgency for awareness, as new media can lead to conflicts, including information wars. Historical examples illustrate that each emerging medium has historically precipitated new forms of conflict, suggesting that the current landscape of media consumption carries the potential for unforeseen consequences, including a shift towards a post-human condition.
