How might the analytical article and the creative endeavour find consonance? I consider a possible approach of combining extracts from a screenplay with my own reflections on my purpose in writing the screenplay. The content applies to a global attitude towards an “-ism” that sits low on the radar of public comment or concern: age-ism. I am more direct in the title of this article: “Old.” The screenplay When Granny Went on the Internet explores the notion that acquiring digital technological expertise can lead to an expanded definition of self and can empower the individual to break free from expectations around their role in the family and in society. The storyline offers a challenge to stereotypes about age and gender and suggests that New Media may provide a portal through which definitions of self can be re-imagined. Granny’s story disrupts the traditional alignment between technology, patriarchy, sexism and age-ism and re-imagines it.

老的

分析文章和创造性努力如何找到共鸣？我考虑了一种可能的方法，将剧本的摘录与我自己对编写剧本目的的反思结合起来。内容适用于全球对“-主义”的态度，这种态度在公众评论或关注的雷达中处于低位：年龄主义。我在这篇文章的标题中更直接：“旧”。《当奶奶上网》的剧本探索了这样一种观念，即获得数字技术专业知识可以扩大对自我的定义，并使个人能够摆脱对其在家庭和社会中角色的期望。故事情节对关于年龄和性别的刻板印象提出了挑战，并表明新媒体可能提供一个门户，通过它可以重新想象自我的定义。
