In Geert Lovink and Sabine Neederer's two articles The Art of Watching Databases and ‘Constructive Instability’,or: The Life of Things as the Cinema’s Afterlife? 1 talks about how the affect of Youtube or the internet greatly influences our lives.
As Geert Lovink argues that watching a clip or a movie is a daily ritual. No one really gets away with it. And most contribute to it. By recording themselves in order gain attention or to follow what their friends are watching to be in the in-crowd contributes to how much media affects us. Easy access tends to create who we are as individuals and shapes us gradually. Just as he talks about "WWW.ADHD" it really goes to show that we cannot put down these technologies without having to update everything.
Sabine Neederer agrees with this argument because he talks about how much we integrate ourselves with media/technology that it appears to be normal.
HOw they agree/disagree
They both agree that technology makes people more aware of their self identity. People tend to post pictures and videos and watch them to become one of the crowd. Just as Lovink said that society just "remixes" them in order to gain attention.
Both arguments are a bit different when talking about originality and the other like a row of cliques.
