It’s interesting how much you notice when you actually intend to notice.
Living in a world that is incredibly fast paced and digital it’s easy to dismiss the things that are trying to speak to us or that we just don’t see as relevant. When you aim to sit down and notice what is being advertised to you and what is trying to speak to you, it’s easy to really see how inescapable it is.
Because the media is so diverse and is always inescapable, it does cause us, as humans, to connect with each other more. Some people would argue that the media limits our face to face contact, but the power the media has had in revolutionising the way we connect is undeniable. It’s amazing how I could go to university, or to work or even at home and connect with someone about one of the few things that we had noticed that day. It’s even amazing how our brain picks and chooses what we notice and what we simply just see and find irrelevant but can come into your mind out of the blue. For example:
‘Like, i’m not sure but I swear that Glue Store is having a half price sale. I swear I saw a sign in the window as I walked past’
