This screencast is about the fictional daily routines of a fictional "New Media" User!2.1. Part 1
New Media Developments in Computer Mediated Communication Michael Schwanzer – February 20082.2. Part 2
New media overflow – a “normal” day! (Fictional Story)2.3. Part 3 - Good Morning
Your Blackberry wakes you – it seems like your assistant has synchronized your schedule remotely and there is a new appointment waiting for you… There is still some time left, so you download the newest comedy podcast to your ipod and connect it to your nike shoes to go for a run. After 30 minutes, this software of ipod / nike shoes tells you that you did twice as much miles in the same time last week. You start believing that this software hates you. Back at home you turn on some music on the digital radio receiver and get a shower. You hope that you will remember the name of the song you just heard to add it to your last.fm profile. While drinking your tee with milk you read the RSS Feeds of your favourite newspapers.2.4. Part 4 - At Work
You check your Emails and find an as SPAM flagged message of an old friend. He wants to tell you about the book he wrote but you think: ”Books? Oh yeah – these analogue things”, and delete the Email. For an online collaboration later this day, you do some research on wikipedia.org and google.com. While waiting for a videoconference, you write your girlfriend an ecard asking if she wants to have dinner. During the videoconference you chat with friends over ICQ, skype and all the other instant message clients. You have no clue about what they are talking at this videoconference. “I did research”, you try to justify yourself and get the answer: “Just because it is not online does not imply that it does not exist!” How embarrassing – as a compensation for your ignorance you create a screencast about the use of the companies newest software and upload it to the corporate blog.2.5. Part 5 - Lunchtime
Via twitter and your mobile you tell your friends where you are going to have lunch – maybe someone joins you. While waiting for your beverage you complain about the slow WIFI connection in this restaurant because you wanted to look at some pictures on flickr while waiting. The businessman from the next table hears your complaints and starts a conversation with you about the newest WIFI standard. “Even McDonalds has a faster WIFI”, you say. You exchange business cards via vCard and Bluetooth of your mobiles.2.6. Part 6 - Back at work
Your online nutrition software tells you that you already had enough calories for this day. Frustrated you watch some IPTV where you see an advertisement for a movie playing this night. You cannot see it because you are out for dinner with your girlfriend. So you configure an online video recorder – they will email you the file. You look up the restaurant you will have dinner at qype.com and realize that it has a very good rating. Ask google maps how to get there. It seems like there is no work left for this afternoon so you have a look at the company internal elearning tool. You get bored soon and MMS your girlfriend a nice photo of you together with her which was just posted by friends to your favourite Social Network. You end up playing Second Life and answering some questions about IT in online communities. Before you leave, you post all your new bookmarks to your del.icio.us account to have them at home as well.2.7. Part 7 – Dinner
After connecting your ipod to the car hifi your girlfriend and you listen to your favourite songs while driving to the restaurant. You talk about how you met and how crazy it is to date someone you met over the Internet. You tell your girlfriend about the Internet Art Exhibition you want to visit with her.On the next day you find out about some new “New Media” tools and start adopting them – like every day!
