Today we met with the amazing Roy Christopher through Skype. I was intrigued with his modern ideas and beliefs. Here are the notes I took during the lecture:
-The medium is the message
-Roy started with the internet, had friend involved in Web design
-Just wanted to do his writing didn't want to get caught up in computers and the Web, but loved it
- "Got sucked into it"
- Not a struggle of a natural lifestyle
- The Web can help, but also be distraction
- He doesn't like reading things online
- "Remix and Mash up culture"
- Remix in the Web like remixes in hip-hop
- "Changing our lives with technology"
- "Program, or be programmed"
- "Control your technology, don't let it control you"
- We are born into the new age of technology, therefore we are more able to excel than older generations.
"Remix and Mash up culture"
