The reading, videos, and other media this week explained copyright, fair use, and creative commons. The one common thread that wove all of these topics together was the idea of shared culture and the effects that technology has on it. What implications does the kind of technology and the way we use it effect our culture?
Copyright, fair use, and creative commons have been referred to by many as moving targets. This too could be said about the cultural implications that technology has on us as a people. Previous generations have dealt with the fixed forms of content in which users traditionally consumed it in comparison to the way the current generation learns and operates today in which consumers have become the creators (or remixers) of the content.
CONSUMERS = CREATORS
