Scannell has approached the aspect of dailiness in this article. He explains dailiness by explaining what it means to provide a daily service. An example I would like to use is the online Norwegian news paper I update myself with every morning for 30 minutes when I get up in the morning. I think Scannell says it best: “It is a everyday service that is produced every day”.
Scannell also dwells over the idea of how time would feel without any media, he states that media has already altered our perception of time, and I do agree that it has distorted our sense of time. When I travel I like to do it without any type of media (which is very challenging, so mobile phones are allowed) to be able to experience the place without any disturbances. It is extraordinary how different your sense of time transforms whiteout the media constantly updating you on what is happening around the world and what time it is now. I have noticed that my eating habits alternate when I am traveling.
As I mentioned above, I wake up in the morning and the first thing I do is to check my favorite online news paper, to keep myself informed on today’s agenda and what is awaiting me today. I visit dagbladet.no for news, yr.no for the weather and turn on the TV for Australian morning TV.
Dailiness can be described as a service that fill up your day, makes it richer in content. It is a service that is ahead of the current time, because it is already planed and on its way to us. Dailiness is a companion that lets you know that everything is as it should be and familiar. However when a service you have gotten use to suddenly disappears, like a TV show you have been following for years, it can feel as a close friend is lost.
