Digital Diversity

I am taking a course about digital diversity at school. It seems like it will be about the emergence of digital media and its impact on our culture.

By digital media, I mean anything that brings data into our lives via an electronic read digital) device. I mean data to be a pretty broad term emcompassing the internet, modern television, and any sort of ebook or epaper (ie. a digital version of the WSJ sent directly to your digital device).

From the course, I expect to become more aware of how the internet is effecting society and learn about issues relating to that.

I watched the same Adidas advertisement and I felt that because everyone in the commercial was in black and white, it signified them as being the other. The viewer is made to feel that they are part of the collective humanity, yet at the same time the clothing appearing in color symbolizes to me that it is separate from the rest. But because of the connection to humanity, the viewer feels that they are connected to everyone and everything else.
