It’s a technological world. We are digital natives. The overhanging presence of the deified internet is not something we grapple with understanding anymore, it’s a ubiquitous, organic component of what it now means to be human.
A natural side effect of this, however, is that people are placing more of themselves in the web. We situate a piece of our own consciousness within the digital realm. With the advent of Web 2.0 online services expanded in order to accommodate ease of movement and place priority on a two-way user interaction (Murugesan 2007, p.34), encompassing the rudimentary early internet’s evolution into a fully flourished media ecosystem. In simpler vocabulary this speaks of websites with the freedom to submit our own participatory content at will. However this deepened user experience means an increased blurring between the real and digital borders. It creates a more potent brand of digital citizenship where humans are legitimately stepping into the wired world as if its communities constituted a tangible nation. The internet is no longer as centred on anonymous usernames as it used to be, instead focused on building a public, recognisable presence – a digital humanity, if you will.
Step into the nExt world.
