During, "Media and the Public Sphere"

During, Simon. “Media and the Public Sphere.” Cultural Studies: An Introduction. New York: Routledge, 2005. 109-142.

How does During understand "technoculture"? How does technoculture suggest "the emergence of a new domain between the public and the private" (141)? How do you think the Internet functions as a media/medium through which we can study popular culture? In what ways is the Internet a "globalising technology" (88)? The Internet is a medium notorious for its economic dimensions. How do you see the Internet's economic dimensions impacting Disney as a consumable commodity?
