Santa Monica College Chapter 5 The Cloud Semiotics and The New Media Questions
I’m working on a english question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Read Chapter 5 “The Cloud- Semiotics and the New Media” (pages 371-381 in 9th edition; pages 325-337 in the 10th edition), then answer the following questions:
- What did the postmodern theorist Michel Foucault call the “Panopticon”?
- Explain how the term “heterodirectedness” applies to the age of social media.
- Why do researchers see an “empathy gap” when it comes to online communications?
- How has social media changed news and politics, briefly?
- Do you believe the digital revolution will result in the intensification or the solution to socioeconomic inequality?
