As I presented postcolonial media theory in class, I become very familiar with that topic. In these days, we all live within technological effects. Even now, posting on the blog is through the technological development. If technology has not advanced like in these days, we would never imagine how terrible and unconvenient our lives would be. There can be some exaggeration that technology rules over people. It is true that computers connect all people in the world and make them closer no matter how distant they are. Also, the hybrid of humans and machines is an interesting fact to discuss. In movies like Metrix, Batman, and the newest one Avatar, humans are combined with technology and transform into more developed forms. It is, though, impossible in these days for human beings to combine with machines and become new features. It can be possible in digital spaces and maybe later in future when technology has even greater power than now. Moreover, the utopian universalism is another thing which interested me. I do not know how appreciative I should be to thesedays' development in technology as I am so used to it. Utopian universalism proposes that anyone in the world had to be connected to be 'free'. This theory is very far from postcolonial media theory which focuses on sort of old-fashioned ways in media.
