There is a battle forming out on the cyber horizon. We quietly surf the virtual ‘net unaware of the relentless conflict beneath the surface, those who need to own and control,
and, everybody else.
We, part of the ‘everybody’, who play and create, communicate and learn, and share, are at odds in our thinking with the owners of systems and monies that run a lot of it, and it probably won’t be a fair fight. So, about what will succeed? The many of us that practice and benefit by putting into action the boundlessness of the technological world just by clicking a mouse…artists, writers, poets, photographers, storytellers, NEED TO HEED! We all sail freely through this ocean of information. For the moment this is at no cost.
All internet users will be affected one way or another by how the ‘net is run and modeled in the near future. We could continue to enjoy our limitless resources found in the global web of mega-data, and pay no attention to the ‘Privet vs. Public Internet’ issue. We could also soon wake to a decision that has been made for us on how we are allowed to use and interact with the World Wide Web and all its occupants. The mere fact that this networking entity is global and approximately 1.4 billion people are ‘at once’ on line at any given time, this is not just a Washington argument.
In my class (EMP) Emerging Media Practices, we have been given a ‘heads-up’ on this crucial issue and the weight of these conflicting of philosophies is evident. The campaign for control is closer that we think. It’s here.
The task at hand for the next class was to find interesting ‘Weblogs’ on preferred topics of choice. Of course where my interests usually wonder is always: the rebel related issues, rooting for the underdog, defending the endangered species, backing-up all things free-thinking. I didn’t like it when they took away my public access to the beach. I’m mad that cable gives so little to Public Access Television compared to their profits in their pockets. And does anybody care that clever untold chunks are being bitten out of our treasured freedom everyday and it’s being blindly overlooked.
