Transformations

So I found the transformations article very interesting and I agree with it. For one I can understand where he was talking about the news not only serving to keep people informed and updated on what's going on in the world (and catering to our curious needs as well), but it is also a "surveillance function" for us. We do need that constant assurance that we are safe and being protected. We want to know that whether or not we are being threatened in any way. And I do think it this need to know has rapidly increased over time (for obvious reasons). That is another reason why this information is being available on mobile phones and computers and not just on television. The article was very interesting and I think very true about human nature and needs.
