Last week, when we ere signing up for new social media sites - it felt like more of my information was out there. But the net must remain neutral. People must exercise caution when using the internet and we must all self-regulate. The internet has become a beautiful reservoir of information and I wouldn't want some knee jerk Senator form Alabama to try and regulate the net when they don't know what they are regulating. They want to bring attention to an issue that doesn't need that kind of attention.
Augmented reality? Bring it on!

So, maybe I'm spending too much time on twitter and facebook, because I
have never heard of "augmented reality--ar". In general, I am a huge
advocate of so...

I agree with your thoughts about Internet regulation. People need to self-regulate, and although there are a lot of dumb people out there that post without consideration of the consequences, it's not right to legislate. Maybe just educate.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm not so much a fan of the Alabama Senators either...though one is certainly better than the other.
i third this conclusion. preventative measures and self control are the key to keeping your digital life as private or as public as you'd like!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you too. Just as Lessig described in his speech - younger generations understand the do's & don'ts and "politics" of the internet that many older individuals may not understand... And before anyone can(ie old people & AL senators) regulate the internet they must understand what they're regulating & why....
ReplyDeleteI totally agree manek...love the republican reference..haha...there are privacy settings for a reason
