Introduction	I'm Senior Lecturer in Media Studies at the University of Wales, Swansea. I teach digital media and cyberculture, media theory, media history and popular music and mass media. I'm the author of 'Baudrillard and the Media: A Critical Introduction' (Polity, 2005) and co-editor of 'Jean Baudrillard: Fatal Theory' (Routledge) as well as numerous articles on media theory and history. My main interest has always been theory - especially the work of Baudrillard, McLuhan, Innis, Virilio, transhumanism and the philosophy of technology - but over the past few years I've become increasingly interested in digital media and the ongoing transformation of everyday life. I published an online essay 'Media Studies 2.0: My Thoughts' explaining my views on this and its implications for the discipline and I'm currently working on a new introduction to Media Studies.
