We have already explored globalisation with relation to news, cultural imperialism and the impact on audiences and institutions.
Now we need to explore some of the wider issues linked to globalisation and media - including privacy, 'big data', and techno-panics. These are crucial issues that are likely to come up in Section A of your MEST3 exam - as well as being relevant to your case studies for Section B.
Go to our Media Magazine archive and click on MM47 - the case study issue. You need to find page 31 and the Google Glass feature: a case study in Globalisation.
Read the article and answer the following questions:
1) Why was Google Glass controversial?
2) What are the positive elements to Globalisation that the article highlights?
3) What are potential negatives to Globalisation?
4) What is a techno-panic? How does it link to moral panics?
5) What is your opinion on the privacy debate and major corporations being able to access large quantities of personal data?
Finish for homework if you don't complete it during the lesson - due next week.
