This week introduced us to a new speaker, Adam Muir, all the way from Nathan... He talked about the history of the web and it's changes over the years; and the changes it has brought to the community and how the internet community has evolved.
I haven't been involved with the computers and internet all my life like some of the younger people in this class so it was interesting to see how peoples perspectives have changed towards the internet. And the change of the on-line community from groups with a common interest to an ego-centric network where it's all about who is linked to you.
With the change of the internet from just viewing content to the web 2.0 where it is a read-write web, meaning that users are involved in the creation of the content which raised the question as to who owns that content?
This was a very thought provoking topic for me as a budding designer the issue of content ownership will become an increasing issue for me. While right now I have no content that I have created as a graphic artist on the web I do have personal photos and information on facebook. From that topic I will be very conscious when I put content on the web.
