Another article popped up from Will Wrights keynote during Siggraph 2009 yesterday, thanks to Icrontic.
Will suggests that consumers really don’t care how they receive media. He compared his iPhone screen size to that of an iMax screen. The difference, of course, was staggering, but Will thinks that despite the difference in clarity and detail, users become too distracted by tech to be concerned by such an unimportant detail. Our phones can show us a movie while we text a friend, which can be done while watching television, listening to music, and surfing the internet on a laptop. The point is, we bombard our senses with media today, and this has led to the creation of a collective hive mind, meaning a massive body of unified thought over a large group of people.
