"GLOBALIZATION AND INDIGENIZATION OF MEDIA"
Text of handout for students
Note: The technology of digitalization has revolutionized media and communication by compressing
content and completely changing the speed and method of transmission.
10 years before 2005, and 5 years before the start of the 21st century, in the year 1995, when the Internet had
just begun to gather momentum, a visionary thinker and technologist named, Nicholas Negroponte,
Professor of Media Technology at MIT, is also Founding Director of the Media Lab wrote a book titled:
"Being digital", published by Vintage Books, Random House, New York, U.S.A.
The significance of this book with regard to the globalization and the indigenization of media is well-reflected
in the comment by the New York Times Book Review about this book: "To read Being Digital is to enter the
future it describes...It flows from the pen (or cursor) of a wizard who is himself helping to create the new
cosmos toward which we are hurtling."
The concluding chapter of this book is offered to students both as a way to whet their appetite to read the
entire ­ if they can get a copy! ­ or to explore the Internet for further material by the same author and in
order to show how far-sighted and accurate projections on new media development can prove to be when
they are made by persons who study their subject with great commitment and interest.
