LeGrice Response

The LeGrice article brings up questions about the idea that in our current digital age, history space, time, fact and fiction have been compressed into one easy to use digitally reproduced media. We use computers and transmit information across thousands of miles in physical space, we face chat and skype with images of people who are in actuality very large distances from us. We accept this false representation of that person, this sub image or avatar, for the actual person we are in contact with. The age of digital reproduction has silently programmed us in mass to accept false realities and digital pixels as the acceptable form of life, its almost like the Matrix movies; just not on the same grand scale. We have revolve our lives around these device; cell phones, pcs and laptops, gps nav systems, and we use their digital interfaces to interact with our physical realm.
