Key Points

This research explores the implications of digitization and algorithms on media, history, and truth.
Analysis of digital media technologies
Examination of algorithmic impacts
Theoretical framework on totalitarianism
Digitization enables the creation of any image or sound easily and quickly.
Mass media communication can distort historical narratives.
The rise of algorithms raises concerns about the integrity of truth.

Abstract

Digitization has made nearly every aspect of human life computable, and specifically, by way of computation and increasingly clever algorithms, the creation of any image is possible. The application of this technology towards any image and sonic media, combined with speed and mass communications could lead to a form of totalitarianism, the loss of history, and the end of truth.
