Of our readings this week the dialogue between Enzensberger and Baudrillard was particularly interesting. Both discuss the innate problems with our current media forms, one with an anti-capitalist superstructure bent and the other with a more general structural criticism of mediated communication. Enzensberger’s dream is a utopian, unrestricted, socialized, mobilized media in which everyone is a producer, using reversible transmissions.

I would like to reflect upon Jean Baudrillard's essay, Requiem for the Media. Specifically the paragraph titled "Speech without Response," because it grabbed my attention for many reasons.
