wired world => wired society. mmo

world wide web media n. a system of interlinked hypertext documents that can be accessed through the internet by using a web-browser. The system was formally proposed by British scientist, Tim Berners-Lee (b.) (with assistance from the Belgian scientist, Robert Cailliau, b. 1947) in 1990; and by 1994 a number of important websites were linked and active including precursors of today’s most popular services. mmo

youth culture media n. symbolic framework of norms, values and beliefs that underpin a distinctive set of social practices and identities associated with adolescents or young people. Since these reflect a particular stage of life, youth culture is commonly understood to be focused around social practices that feature dress, sport, music, styles of speaking and sex. Not all societies will feature distinctive youth cultures and the concept is peculiar to particular stages of societal change and development. Academic interest in them has accelerated since the latter half of the twentieth century by the apparent overlap between youth cultures, social change and youth-led revolutions => counter culture. mmo

zoetrope media n. from the Greek zoē, alive, active, and tropē, turn, it is a device that creates the illusion of motion by means of the quick revolution of static images achieved through the use of a rotating cylinder which has slits cut vertically in the sides at equal intervals so that while it spins an observer outside may see opposite a sequenced set of images arranged in order on the inside. The zoetrope (like the thaumatrope) can be seen as a forerunner of the cinema, although the first recorded example of one dates from around 180AD in China. mmo/sj
