Whenever I think about techno-savvy youngsters working for corrupt politicians, I remember the film 'Enemy of the State' featuring Will Smith, in which the youngsters also get punished in the end for spreading lies and using technology for illegal activities. 'We only helped the politician technically; we didn’t realize the repercussions,' they lament.
That’s what’s already happening in TN as the TVK government, formed by lies and fake propaganda, is getting exposed every minute. The virtual warriors are coming out like rats from their holes, pleading guilty.It is a lesson for youngsters, especially Media / Viscom students who are more into celebrity management instead of producing meaningful media.
Fr. Rajanayagam, a Jesuit and the godfather of Viscom education in TN, must be embarrassed for creating a creamy layer of ambitious, corrupt, and irresponsible media personalities in the state. Probably he didn’t intend it in his time, but his followers (teachers) have totally destroyed the young generation, making them insensitive and ultra-careerist across the state.
I have hardly met any brave, committed, and creative media / Viscom teacher in Tamil Nadu who would prefer to screen Kurosawa or Bergman instead of a Spielberg / Nolan film to their students.
The young virtual warriors who work for TVK may be thrilled by the immediate results as lies spread faster and are acutely tasty. But when the truth bites back, it will be chronic and painful.
