Technology of Possession:Life Data and Live Narratives of"Wearable News"
From the perspective of STS theory,this article defines wearable technology as a technology of possession.In the field of journalistic practice,wearable technology subverts the traditional logic of treating technology as a production tool,allowing technology users themselves to become part of news reporting.Based on this,this article summarizes two core features of wearable news:providing individual life data that can be collected and transmitted in real time and integrating it into an overall socio-technical imagination;innovating news narrative discourse and creating first-person"live narrative"that enables news content to be a digital replica of other people's life experiences.Journalism thus becomes,in a more significant sense,a practice of"empathic perceptual experience".The article further proposes that wearable news allows recipients to"possess"the emotional experiences of others.This"othering"transformation has the potential to promote cross-cultural resonance and understanding and build a human emotional community.With the popularization of wearable technology in news practice,news has increasingly become a bridge connecting individual lives and sharing life experiences,which will create a"human-machine-society"interaction mechanism with a closer internal relationship.
