In what ways and to what extent does the internet shape the ways in which we communicate?
Minor questions • At what point is too much knowledge available? • How do we validate information from the Internet? • Can we justify the Internet’s usefulness over its consequences? • To what extent do we need human interaction?
Background/importance • First programmable computer, Z1, created by KonradZuse in 1936 • First usable telephone created by Elisha Gray or Alexander Graham Bell in 1870 • Karl Braun invented the cathode ray tube oscilloscope (CRT) in 1897
Past versus present • Newspaper to websites & shows • Letters to comments and social media • Group meetings to forums • Book research to Internet research • Telegrams and postal service to email and phone calls
Only in the present • Cyber-bullying • Human interaction deficiency* • Anonymity abuse • Reliance on electronic technology • Illegal downloads
Personal experiences • Mina • Billy • Taryk • Reddit • Gaming
Safety/Reliability • Should there be classes for Internet usage? • Should there be personal identification for Internet usage? • To what extent do people need access to the Internet? Will we require it?
Pros and Cons • Incredible amounts of information • Reality check • Rapid transfer of information • Anonymity • Uncontrollable amounts of interaction
How do we know? WOK: Reason and emotion • How can we make a definitive control for the use of technology? • Should technology issues be irrelevant due to luxury?
