7. Participatory Culture
I was having dinner with a group of friends
about a month ago, and one of them was
talking about sitting with his four-year-old
daughter watching a DVD. And in the middle
of the movie, apropos nothing, she jumps up
off the couch and runs around behind the
screen. That seems like a cute moment.
Maybe she’s going back there to see if Dora
is really back there or whatever. But that
wasn’t what she was doing. She started
rooting around in the cables. And her dad
said, “What you doing?” And she stuck her
head out from behind the screen and
said, “Looking for four-year-olds
Here’s something the mouse.” know: A screen that ships without a
mouse ships broken. Here’s something four-year-olds know: Media that’s
targeted at you but doesn’t include you may not be worth sitting still for
