Current revision as of 18:00, 30 April 2008

I added two terms so far... global media and mediascape. They are both closely related. Do yall think I should put them together in a description.

If they mean practically the same thing, it should be ok to put them together.

There is a sweet little link that I added to the introduction. It is really funny and it was the first thing that came up when I google searched "Information Please Poster". YES!

The part about Posters views on technology. I am not exactly sure what is supposed to be here. I added a bit about why Poster claims he wrote the book and his purpose behind doing so.

I added a little more to the digital commodities in everyday life. let me know what u think. Alex

I added a section about the evil Bert Laden because it was discussed in class and it was a good example about how the internet allows interaction between cultures. ~Samantha

I like the link and find it amusing in that it was the first to come up when you searched information please. I love the giant cover of the book, it adds something to the page. I think that the site that connects to Mark Poster is also a good idea and will help people who want to know a little bit more about the man behind the book. I added information concerning copyright and filesharing. I'll take any comments as well as any changes that any one would like to make.

I added a lot to the second section and a couple of links. If anyone is interested in analyzing the Poster interview further in the intro it may help.

• • • We need more content on the different parts of the book. Anyone have any brilliant ideas? -- Okay. I added some content to the section about Poster and his views on Technology. I also added a link to the defintion of Mediascape in my part on key terms. -Pamela

[edit] Key Terms

Hey group, look through your sections and add more key terms. I think that would be helpful to the main purpose of this wiki: to have a guide for reading in order to understand the book better. Otherwise, things are coming along nicely. Good work group!

Hey! I added a piece on "contol" and on "file sharing". -Pamela

Nice Pam! I liked it... -Margui

[edit] Global Politics and New Media

So in this section I added a little bit to the introduction and set up the discussion on the Evil Bert Laden. I also added a piece on Poster and his views of technology at the end to kind of wrap it up. -Pamela

[edit] Digital Commodities...

I really wanted to included file sharing and everything it entails into the wiki, so I wrote a piece on that and concluded that he's a technological determinist... algo added a few interesting looks. Oh, I also proofread and fixed some minor grammar/spelling mistakes. I hope you guys liked the layout I made for the wiki (picture on the left, bla bla...). -Margui
