Peace Be Unto Those Who Follow Right Guidance.
Currently, I'm reading a collection of papers entitled The Revolution Will Not Be Downloaded: Dissent in The Digital Age (2008), Edited by Tara Brabazon (Oxford: Chandos).
In the Preface, Branazon makes a number of statements which I think are worth reflecting on from an Islamic counter-Racist perspective:
The promises of the digital age have perpetuated analogue injustices.
Digital wallpaper has covered over the cracks of analogue injustice.
Digitisation is not a revolution, but only rebrands more banal activities.
Peace
This reminds me I keep meaning to listen to read Neil Postman's - "Amusing Ourselves to Death", although I didn't realise it was from 1985 and mostly is about television dumbing things down.
I thought the internet is meant to be the great leveller, no?
