Chapter 28 For a cultural future by Eric Michaels

The story of introducing TV and TV making into Australian Aborigines is fascinating. Nowadays few researchers can have the chance to do such a cultural, social and media experiment. I remember seeing the Australian Aboriginal paintings, sculpture and other art products in Australia three years ago. At that time, the Australian government was trying to protect and promote the Aboriginal cultures - a different story than I read about in this article which is written in 1987. I wonder how exactly hi tech has been intertwined in their lives, and what the aboriginal cultures are like today. When we think about our own cultures and technology, this story really tells us something.
