Black Box
The idea that of all media text being available in one place is something that I find to be nearly impossible. With all the different types of meida text and ways that information is able to be gotten, there isn't a way to put it into place. From computers, we have the best example of a modern day black box. You can watch movies, read books, talk to people, read the paper and do almost anything. The only problem is that you can't play many video games. There is no way that all media text from different semotic domains would be completly available to every type of possible black boxs that could be made in the future. If a we did have black boxs made then how would they be broken up. Would the major conglmeraters make them? If they did then they would only contain contant that they would own. So, that would mean that there would only be a few types of black boxes. Or would major companies make them? In that case we would have many different types. If that happen how would we keep them all stright? I said all this to say this, a black box society could be both good and bad.
