Globalization

Globalization is about

Remember

Media make us more mobile today

Networked cars of the future

Networked cars of today

BMW’s Connected Drive Smartphone/Dashboard integration

Networked cars– safety or surveillance?

Through mobile media we become glass consumers

Online ads are targeted toward our individual tastes

Our bodies & the things we carry on them are technologies of surveillance

Because we are more mobile, we are easily tracked by large corporations

Because we are more mobile, we are easily interrogated by the government

We also broadcast our location through social media
