Time Square

Time Square, located in New York City, is a digital world within itself. Everywhere you look you see a billboards and changing screens of advertisements, pictures, videos, media tours, and film productions. It is a representation of the digital era because it consists of the most entertaining media, the television. Over a ½ a billion people come to Time Square every year to watch the festivities. It is one of the most celebrated places on New Year’s Eve. Time Square is one of the reasons why they call New York City…”the city that never sleeps.” The fact that they made walking down the street a powerful immersive experience, makes New York City seem like another world. It’s like watching a television without having to turn the channel because all you have to do is look over to your left and something else exciting is playing. Time Square is a piece of what they future may look like in every city. If this is what every city is going to look like, a person will no longer have to purchase a magazine to find the latest fashion or appliances. All they have to do is step outside and an advertisement of JC Penny is playing right before their eyes.
