First, I have to say I’m very sorry for the long time making no entries.
I don’t know why, but I always have ideas what to post while I’m on the way, and I even do some notes then, but afterwards I don’t feel motivated to really put it down into this blog.
Ok, so now there are some things that wanted to be mentioned for a couple of months.
Epamedia in Donauzentrum
Did you notice that it’s even getting more and more? I’m talking about the LCD screens in our public environment. Initially this was the first motivation to start this blog. Because there are many things changing in our everyday life which we just adopt and soon accept to be normal. We even really don’t notice how this world is changing more and more into something some time ago we only knewed from science fiction movies.
Coming back to the issue of the LCD screens: They’re now everywhere. They got cheaper and cheaper and so not only all information screens like you can find at the central station or the airport have changed into LCD screens, but also the advertising industry now use it nearly everywhere. There are screens showing menus at fast food restaurants, small screens at the pharmacy or at the waiting queues at the supermarket, and at many many more places. They really decorate our environment.
Especially on the streets and in the big shopping malls it’s really fascinating.
During my time in vienna I was often at the shopping mall Donauzentrum which also has a lot of LCD screens. It’s a project of the company Epamedia where you can see a lot more examples like these.
Don’t get me wrong. I do have nothing against this development, the opposite is the case, I really enjoy it! And I just ask myself, how long will it take until it’s like in the movie Minority Report which I know is based on real studies.
