Final Lecture - Lecture 12

SOFTWARE
In this Lecture Adam Muir introduced the idea of Creative Commons to the class. This is a free alternative to the well known Copywrite. If something is protected by Creative Commons it means that the item can be used by others, just not for profit. The original user can define their terms for the object within the stricture of the Creative Commons rules.

JUST THE EXAM LEFT TO GO NOW - (IVE ALREADY DONE IT - LOL)

Lecture 11

Peer to Peer File Sharing (P2P)
The question of this lecture was asking if it is alright to download music files for free? We also watched a movie called "Steal this Film". This film was about free software, and basically using the internet for free 'stuff'. The lecture notes comment that there will be questions in the exam about this film.

Lecture 10

In the 10th lecture of the semester we watched a movie called "Blade Runner". This movie was about the recreation of Humans. The company that made these "replicas", motto was "More Human Than Human". ?????

Lecture 9

Cyberpunk
William Gibson quoted "power depends on information". the matrix was also a topic in this lecture. Frankenstein, Adam and Eve and other bible stories are all concerned about man receiving information and or power and the gods punishing them because of it.
Utopia's and Dystopia's are also apart of cyberpunk. Cyberpunk seemed to be a big mix of most other topics raised in the previous lectures.
