My notes from Lecture 3

In lecture 3 we watched the movie Alphaville.
This film addresses issues of Utopian and Distopian worlds, the Utopian view of that of a computer, and the Distopian view that is realised through human understanding.
From the lecture notes on the Learning@Griffith site i found that Queensland has been the location of many Utopian Experiments. Mulga and New Brittania are two examples of these.

On a different note though these notes mentioned that it was Tim Berners-Lee who created the "WWW" for the Web, a MUD is a Multi User Domain and this is also related to Turkle from lecture 2 on cyberspace. Then the issue of 'mind downloading' was brought up... Virtual Immortality.
