Old, new and middle-aged media convergence

Abstract
This essay analyzes the myths that swirl around digital media convergence – managerial efficiency, experiential immediacy, global interactivity and interpersonal connectedness – and counters these with an ecological historiography that shows how so-called managerial efficiencies waste natural and human resources; the vaunted experiences of immediacy and interactivity induce ignorance of inter-generational effects of consumption, including long-term harm to workers and the environment; and constant connectedness comes with its own peculiar dispossession of the ability to dwell on the interconnections between human communication and the Earth.
