Digital Ethnography

I stumbled upon this excellent talk by KSU professor Michael Wesch.



Wesch is doing some excellent work in the field of Internet anthropology. When I think of the problems traditional media are having adapting to the Internet, I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with their paradigm.

Instead of trying to invent "new media" perhaps they should be developing "new mediums."

P.S. Here's a link to the the website Wesch and his students use as the platform for their research.
