Week 9 Lecture Summary

Well unfortunately we were experiencing some rather dusty weather... and I noticed the online lecture notes are a little cheeky...

There wasn't a chance I was taking my baby out of the garage for the drive to uni, The dust would have got sucked (by forced induction) and I would have to buy a new air filter and mine isn't cheap.





Anyway! I saw the title of the lecture was on Cyber-Utopia...
So cyber is defined as... A combining form meaning “computer,” “computer network,” or “virtual reality,” used in the formation of compound words (cybertalk; cyberart; cyberspace) and by extension meaning “very modern” (cyberfashion).

and

Untopia is defined as #

1.O ften Utopia An ideally perfect place, especially in its social, political, and moral aspects.
2. A work of fiction describing a utopia.

An impractical, idealistic scheme for social and political reform.

So I'm taking an educated guess that Cyber-Utopia is a perferct world in the future where internet content and download limits are free and the internet is a free world networking scheme.
It probably covers the unlikeliness of this occurrence and probably has an internet hippie pronouncing the internet as a product of the people and we as people need to emancipate from society... Go sit in Starbucks and surf!


Though there is no reason why a larger download quota cost more money... Though I can see why internet speed does because of the research, technology and building the resources to provide it.
