Manit Sriwanichpoom Britney, Brad and Mel, Ronan and Michael Globalization is about information. The lifeblood of the future economy is instant access, instant comprehension of global information. To get money requires hooking on to trade, identifying markets. The port of entry into the new global dispensation is the media. Television is IT, the acme of information technology.
Television shows the market what is marketable.
It disseminates the style, generates and popularizes by constant repetition the merchandising opportunities. It makes global popular culture the only reality. Every home has a TV, every home becomes a portal on the superhighway to a globalized, homogenized world full of Singapores. Literally, one teleports direct to the new dispensation. The youth of the world are the sacrificial lambs offered up in this slaughter of cultural identity.
