★We get our information from a vector. "Vector" signifies a plethora of different meanings. A military vector, perhaps. The vector for a missile. Indeed, missiles use vectors to seek and destroy their target. Does media similarly maliciously seek out its target in the same manner? Yes, it does. It is a calculated package of news that reaches us through the television, internet, or radio. Take as an example September 11th. This is a certified weird global media event. Would it have been such an event if the media had not calculably delivered us, the subject, repetitive images and descriptions of the hijacking of four planes and the use of them as missiles? To an extent, it would have caused mass hysteria no matter how much the media played a part. However, the use of these media vectors to send the information directly to us through media hubs helps to magnify the frightening aspects of the event and create the weird global media event. The use of the word vector connotes this notion of control and militaristic notions. SYM: Vector as militaristic, powerful, and control-seeking. The media event seeks to capture the subject, to keep them watching. Quite militaristic, indeed.
