Title | The cultures of the now and technologies of immediacy |
Authors | Drakopoulou, S. |
Abstract | Technologies of immediacy allow for the continuous engagement with capturing, representing and communicating the present moment in time, the now. These emerging cultures of real time representation of the present moment in time result in always interacting with the now. Data gathered by citizens and media created with the smartphone, instantly communicated and shared, portray an immediacy and reveal an intimate and personalised now. |
