Do we consume less now and use more? Is the change to more complex and less linear forms of media mean we are now users and not consumers.
I wouldn’t go as far to say that we are all active users of new interactive media and not reactive consumers of linear media. I think there are modes of use which are quite passive. When I play most games I am doing them in a fairly passive way even though I am involved in the game play and making decisions. When I browse a web site I am not always task focused
Do we have the mental capacity to survive the onslaught of interactivity when all we want to do is sit back and passively consume media?
