The Death of Anticipation, Precipitated by Technology

The Death of Anticipation, Precipitated by Technology

In this episode, I discuss my research on the immediacy-driven and self-referential nature of digital communication—which short-circuts attention spans, desire, and anticipation.

I also reference Max Fisher's "The Chaos Machine" and Schmargendorf, Germany; more specifically, German researchers who proved a link between Facebook use and violence.

Additionally, I speak about French sociologist Jean Baudrillard's "hypercommunication" (excess inbound or outbound communication, often precipitated by technology) and South Korean/German philosopher Byung-Chul Han's notion of "pornographic communication" (communication that reveals everything, eliminating mystery and depth) and what we can do to avoid both.
