While
it has been fairly easy and straight-forward to trace
the most blatant and prosaic elements of this cross-cultural
pollination process through
film and prose (resulting in the widespread use
of traditional and postmodern literary theory for the
use of film critique), many of us (especially those
of us with backgrounds in technical communication) have
found that with the advent of pervasive computing, the
intermixing of images and ideologies from far-flung
cultures has become a central component of the practical
usability for the operating systems and information
structures of many modern communication mediums (Lunenfeld).
As I mention elsewhere in this
essay, pervasive computing has now put the tools of
technological communicative construction directly into
the hands of technology
and media users, allowing us to directly manipulate
the shape, intention, and symbolic representation of
our online and/or computer-enhanced computer interactions.
