More media is created everyday and more people are beginning to create content each day. In fact even this portfolio is a type of media in the form of a blog.

This blog is to demonstrate my learning and understanding of the unit, engaging media, as we go deeper into the world of media...

Four Stories from Cyberspace Summary

Last week we were asked to read some text with the title "Four Stories from Cyberspace" then summarise it with the help of other class members.
The text was a chapter from a book that gave four stories about the different problems that can arise when people are online or in "cyberspace" and then used these examples to make the reader think about how the cyberspace should be changed or kept the same to address these problems.
Here is what we thought were the most important points;
  • Laws are different in Cyberspace, it may need to be refined.
  • Lives are spent online now more than ever.
  • The anonymity of the web can bring out peoples true natures or give people a chance to try a new one.
  • Real world laws are being applied to the cyber world and sometimes they aren't compatible.
  • Therefore we need a separate set of rules or laws for the internet.
