I must say that Lessig is an incredible speaker! I really liked how his slides were in sync with his speech. But, of course, the most important thing was his content.
I liked the fact that he spoke highly of today's generation and their use of the internet and media. Who would have thought that this generation is better at disbelief and triangulation? Lessig does make a good point when he says that we don't take the time to put together information that newspapers give us. So true.
I've never really given much concern about privacy on the internet. I like the way that Lessig framed technology. He said, "Technology makes data out of control." Honestly, whenever I have to input my personal information to complete a form online, I don't give a second thought as to what happens to that information. Maybe I should start being more careful.
But, despite this privacy issue, Lessig sings the praises of the internet. It does have many advantages, especially in today's world. I feel the pressure for teenagers and those that will come after them. Apparently, it's important to be up to date with what the internet and technology can do. So, I guess if a teen doesn't know how to use certain internet tools or website, then what? I'm not too sure how I feel about this. But, what I need to do is to make sure that I know how to use the internet and what it has to offer, to my advantage.
