Thesis Abstract
There is an undeniable connection between the neo-nomadic resurgence and telecommunication advancements that have occurred in the last 30 years. However, there is a growing disconnect between the way we live in the physical world and the way we see ourselves in the virtual world. As a mass society, we are currently using social networking technologies to live out a celebrity-like lifestyle through external events. This is due to a generational shift in culture and has been assumed to have a negative affect by oversimplifying the lives of the user population. However, while there is an oversimplification of the user, it has also caused us to see ourselves not as members of well-bounded civic formations, but as an intersection of multiple spatially diffuse categorical communities. This irreversible shift is imbedded in human minds and this change in perception cannot be ignored. Can this mentality be harnessed and positively advanced through the present wave of America’s neo-nomadic population? In turn, will this ever-changing nomadic population interact with the sedentary American population to create urban stimulation?
