1970 - "Constituents of a Theory of the Media" was written by Hans Magnus Enzenberger
1990s- Wired magazine takes words from Enzenberger's essay
In his essay Enzenberger displays his desire for a socialist system within the media. Such a system would call for: a decentralized system, each reciever to have a transmitter, mobiliaztion of the masses, collective production, feedback and interaction among all of those involved, social control by self-organization, and a political learning process. Enzenberger discusses how electronic media is pervading all aspects of our society including social communication as well as economics. He discussed all of the developments that have come about because of electronic media and only sees greater possibilities for the future of new media. This article was written 37 years ago and apparently Enzenberger's predictions have proven true. Our society has advanced and continues to advance further and further in technology.
