Living in a digital nation has many benefits and consequences, however, some of them can be both a pro and a con. Digital communication has enabled a reduces the "distance" and travel cost because we no longer need to be face to face to communicate in a job or social space. Sometimes these meetings can take place in a digital space or through the Internet. More people have also began to multitask by switching from screen to screen, but this reduces their accuracy while attempting the different tasks. Some people also believe it is more private and they can say what they want as faceless, yet everything on the net is available to everyone. People also believe the cons to be that people are becoming more recluse and avoiding the real world for a game world or other digital world. They also believe that people are not developing the basics skills of English properly and most people do not read any more. Another note is that most people have connected people who recluse on the computer or games to obesity but more people have died due to lack of eating during extended sessions.
As technology increases I believe that it will change how we perceive art in various ways. The technology will allow artist to create things that are not humanly possible and they will no longer be restricted to the physics of the physical word. I also think that the digital art will change how we experience it. I think many people will start to think that they would be able to create this art, they will try and think about how pieces are created. People will also appreciate art more especially older pre-digital works because it was made before there were ways to reproduce the art techniques digitally and had more of a uniqueness to them.
Thanks, Trent. It is interesting think of digital technology freeing or liberating artists from the physical world....
