Time-consuming (in)communication: Microdystopia of Social Network Acceleration
Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper studies the techno culture of acceleration from a sociological and genealogical perspective. It is a question of micro-power that transforms the social network Utopia into an autorestrainted Dystopia. The synchronisation with the others leads us to a communication flux 24/7. Therefore, the right to communicate throughout the social network becomes a horizontal implied must in order to join in the multiples conversations in real time. The permanent actualisation becomes a necessity and the user a time consumer. In a society where time is accelerated, communication turns structurally into incommunication.
