MEDIA AS LIVED ENVIRONMENTS: THE ECOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

We live in an era when everyday activities are shaped by environments that are not only artificial—almost half of humanity lives in cities—but also mediated. Emotional and cognitive activities in all levels and segments of society are increasingly vested in information-rich venues supported by television, radio, telephone, and computer networks. Even in very remote areas, hunters and farmers watch satellite broadcasts and play battery-operated video games. And in the depths of the Amazon River basin, tribes use tiny video cameras to document territorial encroachments and destruction of rain forest habitat.
