Puddle of Lecture Blog - Week 8

This week, my mind was forcibly filled with the wonders of cyberspace, and cyberpolitics. Learning about online democracy, or as the cool-cats say 'eDemocracy' learnt just how awesome politics really is..... not.... at allllll. The knowledge of representative democracy was bequeathed upon me, in all its glory; as well as the splendour of 'Direct democracy' which entailed a lot of blabber centring around thoughts, such as : everyone online has (or should have) equal rights in all the decisions made, even if tat means only casting a voluntary vote for something, once in a while.

Then we were told of the gaps in today current 'mass' media, which detailed the online community as one (or a whole) and their voting/participating power equally as one.

Then to my immanent disaggregausal (yep i invented that word - it means 'my disagreement') found out about internet censorship. And don't lie we have all been to sites we maybe shouldn't have been to, even if our excuse is that we were told it was a nice simple picture of a 'loving' family. A little too much love in that family, if u ask me. I never want to see that again... ever! So sure there is heaps of bad stuff on the net but some of it people do enjoy and people should have a right, as they do with speech, to go where they want online.

Then to the world of hacking. Those rapscallions! Nothing i didnt already know, but it's good to get a further understanding of the people behind the online usernames 'nighthawk911'and 'Deathdragon_32boom'. and hey u can tell i'm not a hacker my username is richardp09, but hopefully one day soon.... a hacker will consider my information valuable enough to steal and will change it to 'superdandycoolcat91'..... IT IS MY DREAM
