The newspaper can be considered the original form of media that made it possible to cross physical borders and deal with information of public interest. Newspapers created a sense of timelessness, the idea that information could be read by anyone at any time. It reflected the issues of the time and provided a way for society to discuss these issues regardless of its physical surroundings. It expanded ideas of community, giving the public a sense of identity while satisfying societies' need for information about events, whether present or not. Newspapers offered a certain freedom to society. Family members could gather around, for example, the dining room table and discuss the issues of the event. This allowed members of the private sector to recreate the event by telling the story, which allowed for engagement and a sense of presence of the event.

Younger generations have integrated these cultures into part of their daily lives and are demonstrating the ability to participate online while remaining aware of their physical surroundings. This space can be further multiplied by watching TV, surfing the web, and texting over the web. mobile all at the same time. Whether or not this can overwhelm a person's spatial awareness to the point of having a negative impact is almost entirely subjective depending on the individual. The ability to take on multiple roles and be in multiple places at the same time has created opportunities for connectivity that we have never experienced. before, and allowed our world to become literally pluralized.
