Did Digital Life Has Changed Who We Are?

For this week, we are discussing digital life and how has digital shaped/changed our actions. Today, we find different ways to connect to people by posting random thought through social media, we find relationships through digital world and etc. However, the main question that concerns us is whether or not digital life changed us or on the contrary humans have adapted to new ways of living.

Above is the video that we watched in class. It is a parody video of Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star 1979. This woman in this video is using close-up shots in which she is wearing various sunglasses or headphones. She is singing this song in order to portrayed some of the ways humans behave through digital world. The fact that people want to tweet so many emotions or ideas out there. Human feel the need to post every sad or happy emotion instead of discussing it with their friends.
From analyzing the lyrics, we can see that she is singing some of the issues Internet brought.  More than ever, we are concerned about out privacy on the Internet because once you post something it's difficult for it to disappear.

This are the lyrics to the parody video:

We've had the Internet since 1992
And now I never have a sense of "what to do?"
Because we're all just nodes- connecting- me and you
Oh-a oh
We wonder if all information should be free
And with our education -- how "tech" could it be?
..If our devices might change our biology
Oh-a oh
I'll get my Mac Pro
Oh-a oh
and go to Google
Digital Life has changed who we are
Digital Life has changed who we are
We're binary in our hearts
Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we tweet and blog and hashtag all our thoughts
Our children start to play with personal robots
Nothing is real until we Instagram our shots
Oh-a oh
You gotta post it
Oh-a oh
that makes it Le-git
Digital Life has changed who we are
Digital Life has changed who we are
GPS to drive my car
my phone finds me restaurants and bars
Oh-a- oh
Oh-a-oh
Digital Life has changed who we are
Digital Life has changed who we are
Sometimes I think it's so bizarre
I'm with you but my mind is far
Distraught when I lose Wi-Fi bars
just want to be a YouTube star.....
...a viral video star
