Week 9

The lecture content for week nine was probably the most interesting of all of them as we continued to look into the idea of cyber-punk and it cultural significance and relation to our current state of technology. I was very interested in the whole cyberpunk idea and it was definetely entertaining compared to things like creative commons.

For my essay the topic I will choose will be the first in which I will choose two out of a list of figures who had major roles in the development of digital technologies I chose William Gibson and Charles Babbage and will discuss the impact they had in the essay. I chose this topic becaue I have an interest in history and it should be easy to gather research on the subjects and I think it should be easy to write a large essay on the topic as there are a number of different ways to approach it. I will use online articles and journals to research the topic and hope that a relative number of sources are available.
