Were you more interested in the technical/material or social dimensions we have discussed this week? Explain your interest and how it relates to your interests more broadly. Pick one of the contests for control that we have reviewed this week? Which actors would you have (or do you) side with and why? What have you learned about the relationship between technology, society and change by reading Lessig’s chapters? Were there any new questions/insights that reading these chapters inspired? I would have to say that this week in class I was more interested in the social dimension of the material. I really don't know that much about the technical aspects of this kind of stuff. I get the technical stuff... Okay actually im going to change coarse. I would say that i enjoyed learning about both the technical/ material and social dimensions of the material we covered in class this week. I would say they they were both interesting and serve the same importance in learning this information. I would say my interest is based around the idea that I want to learn as much as possible about anything and everything this class has to share. Relating to to my interests more broadly... thats just how I am I want to know about everything and be as well rounded as possible. In the contest between free-resource and controlled resources I would side with free resources. I believe that tools should be provided to the world via internet for free such as this blogger account and all of the google gadgets and all the free resources out there. I believe that control resources should still be available however like things are today. However i strongly regard ripping off other artists/ information systems is wrong and should not occur. Artist's need to make a living too. I've learned that technology has had a great effect on our lives as they have always in human history have done. As of now i dont think I have any further questions that I could raise. The only thing id like to say though is that I cant wait to see what the next 10 years brings!
