A balanced yet biting critique . . . Gitlin is a savvy guide to our increasingly kinetic times.--San Francisco Chronicle

In this original look at our electronically glutted, speed-addicted world, Todd Gitlin evokes a reality of relentless sensation, instant transition, and nonstop stimulus, which he argues is anything but progress. He shows how all media, all the time fuels celebrity worship, paranoia, and irony, and how attempts to ward off the onrush become occasion for yet more media. Far from bringing about a new information age, Gitlin argues, the digital torrent has fostered a society of disposable emotions and casual commitments, and threatens to make democracy a sideshow. In a new afterword, Gitlin takes measure of the most recent wave of inundation in the form of iPods, blogs, and YouTube.

Both a startling analysis and a charged polemic, Media Unlimited reveals the unending stream of manufactured images and sounds as a defining feature of our civilization and a perverse culmination of Western hopes for freedom.

Snack pack
It’s okay for a quick little snack. The package was fresh. Texture was crunchy. You may enjoy it, but you would have to try it on your own. I felt like I was missing something or wanting more.

Alternative Snack Option
Nice alternative to the stuff available at the local corner store. Will not win any taste awards. Portion size is excellent. Satiates the snack cravings. Odd after taste from one of the mix items. Confused by taste, is it old or odd!?

A nice snack
These are just salty enough, easy to pack, have a good taste and satisfy my need to crunch. They have a decent flavor too. I like them.
