Technology has began to develop mew methods of behaviour control.
The most serious threat is the power this technology gives one man to impose his views and values on another.

Remember to focus on key issues around new media – privacy, knowledge, understanding, education, friendship, behaviour, thoughts, attitudes, beliefs, politics, economics, employment, war, conflict, food, the environment, space, science (essentially social change)

2. Q: so how has recent technology changed (society, individuals, organisations, ideas, beliefs etc etc)
3. CSP 1 – show knowledge of CSP
4. characteristics of new media (in reference to CSP 1)

Discussion Points from The Great Hack

• Data has surpassed oil as the world’s most valuable asset
• The Exchange of Data
• Search for Truth
• Behaviour Management
• Propaganda / Persuasion
• Regulation
• Digital Behaviour management: A Threat to Democracy?

Data has now become the world most valuable asset. Social media and other platforms collect data through behaviour that can be used to predict future engagements. I has also been weaponized to wage cultural and political warfare.

Some themes and discussion points from Great Hack:

• The Exchange of Data
• Search for Truth- uncovers the dark world of data exploitation with astounding access to the personal journeys of key players on different sides of the explosive Cambridge Analytica/Facebook data scandal.
• Behaviour Management- shows how data is being used to hijack our elections and our democracy and how the internet is being used not only for information, but as a weapon.
• Propaganda / Persuasion
• Regulation

So what changes can be put in place to solve these current issues?

Data has surpassed oil as the world’s most valuable asset. It’s being weaponized to wage cultural and political warfare. People everywhere are in a battle for control of our most intimate personal details

interests have shifted from using automated machine processes to know about your behaviour to using machine processes to shape your behavior according to their interests

Some themes and discussion points from Great Hack:

• The Exchange of Data –  The data which was collected by Cambridge Analytica was meant to be used as part of a sales strategy that involved creating massive campaigns that approached users in a personal manner. 
• Search for Truth – once people are aware of targeted ads it raises questions regarding fake news
• Behaviour Management
• Propaganda / Persuasion –
• Regulation

To start off with I would like to prioritise the notion of CHANGE & TRANSFORMATION as a way of thinking about NEW MEDIA which can be linked to the key ideas of a media syllabus. For example,

1. the transformation of social interaction (audiences);
2. the transformation of individual identity (audiences and representation);
3. the transformation of institutional structures (industry); and the changes in textual content and structure (language).
4. The transformation of audience consumption

In summary, this could be described as the changing nature of symbolic interaction and a lot of the work on this blog is essentially discussing this concept.
