← Diversity of Inputs

Digital & Media Inputs

category
Digital and media inputs encompass the full range of digital content forms — podcasts, online lectures, documentary film, interactive media, video essays, social media curation, online communities, digital archives, and the emerging forms of human cultural expression that digital platforms have enabled — as potential creative input sources whose quality, diversity, and depth of engagement determine whether they contribute to or detract from the creative mind's input diversity.

Role

Digital media is the most democratically accessible creative input in human history and the most structurally biased toward the familiar, the popular, and the recently produced — with the algorithmic recommendation systems of every major digital platform systematically narrowing input diversity in the name of engagement optimization, producing the creative sterilization of filter-bubble effects at civilizational scale. Digital literacy for creative purposes means using digital platforms as tools for accessing diverse inputs rather than as the default editors of what one's mind is exposed to.
