Problems and Situation of the Media

It comes to me a bit of vertigo if I try to analyze the media´s problems, and even more if I think to their future expectative. And this is caused by the speed at which media grow.

Such is the speed of their development that we have had already technical problems with the network capacity, the familiar problem of bandwidth, as demand soars exponentially and reminds me in part to the problem of vehicular traffic road, when a highway is designed, the models of traffic growth often fall short for that area and once the highway is opened, this is already small.

The development of new technologies not only affects the telephone or the television, it is affecting also to the most traditional media like newspapers, because of the continued development of digital newspapers. These ones have more penetration in society, since these are easily accessible news that develop in real time and allow us to compare the same news on multiple media. This happens also with the Internet radio or through the DTT.

As always, not everything is perfect, and it is difficult if not impossible that in this kind of new culture we might call the culture of the optical fiber, we find the concept of classical culture of the Frankfurt School, which held: "Humanity is immersed in barbarism. Barbarism is the starting point, scientific progress does not compensate for the increasing decline of theoretical culture. "
