“mobility allows us to roam with our economic and social structure carried with us in tiny
digital caravans. We’re seeing the enterprisation of our social lives, and the

Media companies: organizations or networks?

The Rise of Lifestyle Media: Successful media companies will become “marketplaces that let consumers search, research, share and configure their media experiences.”
To be good, these exchanges need to combine “a personalized media experience with a social context for participation.”
Instead of “exclusive ownership of content or distribution assets” (the stuff of old media), the media marketplaces will compete in their “knowledge of consumer activity”, which they will use both to interact more intimately with consumers and to match them better to advertising that is unobtrusive and helpful (itself a novelty), and thus lucrative.”

Networked Individualism Activity (For reading response credit): Take out a piece of paper. Write down short answers to the following
questions and share them with a partner: You live away from your family right now. How do you connect with them
and maintain your relationships with family members through new media? What is the funniest thing a family member of yours does through social media (texting, Skype, Facebook, Twitter, fantasy sports, Words with Friends, etc.)
In what ways does the participation gap and/or gendered use of
technologies play a role in the maintenance of those relationships? Do you think your family life is more or less fulfilling because of the way
you use communication technologies to connect with one another? Why?

According to Florida, what is the difference between a “Creative City” and a “Nerdistan?”
Nerdistans are bland, uninteresting places with acre upon acre of identical office complexes, row after row of asphalt parking lots, freeways clogged with cars, cookie-cutter housing developments, and strip-malls sprawling in every direction.
![Page 61: Ems - Summer I ’11 - T101 Midterm Exam Review](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081413/54825eb7b4af9fa50d8b478c/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
How does the creative class connect to the media life perspective?
The key idea in a media life is that reality can be created by youas an individual (the reality of what work you do where and how you live your life, and the kind of person you are). Working in the creative class means life, work and play become indistinguishable. The creative class lives, works and plays in media.
This notion is not new; what is new, is that we now see this asan individual’s responsibility instead of something we do togetheras a society.
