week 9 Lecture
This week’s lecture we had a special guest lecturer: Jason Nelson.He did lecture down to the cyber utopia. I know Utopian, but the cyber utopia is the first time I heard, and I'm feeled fresh (because I’m not very interested in network and technology).
The height of the twenty-first century, science and technology development and IT industry, has led to the rise of network information technology revolution, so that communication between people has become more convenient and comfortable. Sitting in front of the computer, a network cable you can sit at home and surf world.
As a result, users of speech forum as a new position is quiet rise of the network world, they give the new generation of avant-garde ideas to novelty, passion, equality, and mystery. We like this feeling, because in here, whether you are a society in which class, in front of the network will be equal, any person who is no privilege at all ... to this point, I am undecided. Network's "Utopia" is such a bar.
The lecture was intresting, and I look forword to next week's leture......

week 8 Lecture
This week's lecture talked about cyber-politics and eDemocracy . I had read an article on this subject, called the "E-political development".
cyber-politics - Political Development under the e-government
E-government, as to adapt to new economic patterns and social environment of the product, its traditional political and economic environment in terms of administration compared with a brand-new content and form. Can be said that the information economy and the emergence of electronic networks to facilitate the operation of political and administrative practice will be a revolutionary change. In the e-government such a virtual space, form and content of democracy have undergone great changes. Of e-government an advantage because it can narrow the gap between the implementation of the distance between the public and the government, making the Internet to better serve the civilian population strata, that is,government to make public power down toward folk. EDemocracy- the network form of democracy

Week 7 lecture
This lecture iwas talk about free software. "Free" has "freedom"and "free" double meaning, and therefore how to distinguish between free software (libre) and free software (gratis)? The free software movement's founder - Richard Stallman provides the following definition: 'free software is focused on the right to freedom, not price. To learn more about the concept it represents, you should be "free" If you want to be "free speech" rather than "free beer" '. More accurate to say that free software on behalf of computer users have a choice and the freedom of any person in cooperation, with the software they use to control the freedom. In the GNU Declaration (GNU Manifesto) contains Stallman at the start of free software definition of confusion.
Well-known free software
Linux
PHP
MySQL
BSD
Most of the free software are online (online) publishing, and do not charge any fees; or off-line (off-line) way to release physical, sometimes small additional fees for a minimum of cost (for example: nominal fee), and people can be any price to sell the software. However, free software and commercial software can do it together, because they exist side by side against trafficking in software is a violation of the free software definition.
Users must accept the software, 'software license' to use the software, but in the free software, the most common way to license GPL - GNU General Public License has.

This week’s lecture was very informative: it talked about the consumption and production of media.
The turecher talked about the impact of media production. For example, the news media, shopping media, advertising media. As the new technology updates, the way they are produced in varying degrees, have changed. Readers can be found on the Internet, news and more pictures, or links to other articles; consumers of mass media propaganda in the network under the guidance of a new pattern of consumption; different versions of the video clips. This is all thanks to the emergence of new media and its development.
