Digitalisation has had a pervasive impact on all aspects of life and
culture, altering the way products and services are produced,
distributed, marketed and consumed. This change has had a significant
impact on economic, political, cultural and social structures. The
media, cultural, creative and entertainment industries have played a
crucial role in globalising the dynamics of convergence and
hypermediatisation. These industries have been instrumental in the
expansion of this global trend which has led us to live in the era of
the end of dead time (Hidalgo, 2021).
The struggle for attention is not only a battle led by media companies
but also by public companies from various industrial sectors, public
sector organisations and civil society. Every product, service, content,
platform and interface is tinged with an entertainment component. We
live in an attention economy that has become a scarce resource in
industrialised countries (Falkinger, 2008; Franck, 2019, 2020).
In the digital economy, which has become the panopticon economy
(Hidalgo, 2018), most businesses and organisations need the attention of
their audiences and that is the key to success. Attention has become a
competitive commodity for which companies, governments, political
parties and all kinds of institutions compete. And the issue goes beyond
the generation of algorithms.
The second machine age, also known as the new phase of the digital
revolution (4th Industrial Revolution), focuses on interconnectedness,
automation, artificial intelligence and data mining. This trend has
generated new technological and media ecosystems that interact in real
time with humans, machines and institutions. As we move towards a
post-digital world, the communicational and economistic view is
insufficient to understand the implications and effects of the
connection between physical and digital systems, as well as the
exploitation of the internet of things, cyber-physical systems and the
constant flow of data. All of this is evidence of user and consumer
patterns and trends, posing new challenges to our understanding of the
world we live in.
Many of the applications of big data, machine learning, automation and
exponential disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI)
have as one of their main objectives to capture the attention of
audiences. Innovation becomes an essential element for the loyalty,
dynamisation and monetisation of these audiences. Another
aspect to bear in mind is that the care economy cuts across all sectors.
It includes business, education, public institutions, universities and
many others. Technology, communication and marketing act as
cross-cutting elements and drivers of processes. Their repercussions
pertain to the economic, human and ethical spheres as the so-called
"surveillance capitalism" (Zuboff, 2021) or "surveillance advertising"
(Crain, 2021) raises questions about its limits and regulation.
The connection between innovation and attention is clear and will define
how human beings use their time, resources and leisure in the coming
years. This scenario presents researchers with multiple theoretical,
methodological and ethical challenges in order to understand their
object of study from a complex and multidisciplinary perspective; this
is the focus of this dossier, which is why we invite you to send your
articles focused on analysis, reflection and empirical research on the
following topics:
- Big data.
- Machine learning.
- Social networks.
- Automation.
- The importance of virtual environments: the Metaverse.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) as a knowledge activator.
- New exponential disruptive technologies.
- Digital media and platforms as pillars of leisure, learning and
development.
- New technologies applied to education.
- Reformulation of models.
- Critical approaches: "surveillance capitalism" and "surveillance
advertising".
