Remixing... Really!!!!

During this week’s class we watched a clip from the TV show “The Colbert Report”. It was a one sided argument about the difference between copy right and “remixing”. I am personally on Mr. Colbert’s side and think that there is not a difference between Remixing and taking credit for the work and using someone’s work and not siting the source of the material. The link for the video is http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/215454/january-08-2009/lawrence-lessig. This video is quite comical and will make you laugh. But I feel as though Lawrence Lessig, does not have any point that remixing and not giving credit to the original should be right. I am sure that if someone used his book and added clips of comics to it, then claimed they “Remixed” it without giving him credit, he would have a lawsuit drawn up really quickly. With all of this said, remixing is kind of cool but I still believe that the work should be sighted. I am sure that there is a lot more content about it in his book but from the overview I see and from the arguments he is trying to make in his interview, he does not make very good points, he seem to contradict himself. This is my rant for the week see you all for the last class tomorrow night!!!

Generation F

I do not see this effecting my work environment very much at all. I work in manufacturing and there seems to be a set Hierarchy in the order of things that seems to work very well. Maybe when I become higher u in the chain of command this might change things a little with the way I deal with people and their expectations, but as far as the structure of the company I work for I do not see it changing very much. I think it will change the way small businesses are ran for sure. I am going to call this a theory of Generation F because I feel that is what it is. With that said I suppose this theory could affect my life. I think that this may have caused me to be so motivated to move up within the company I work for. I do feel that I become bored with my job very easily and this causes me to want more. This could run right along with the theory of Generation F. Again thank you for reading my rant.

Podcasting

I have not done my pod cast yet and have found it difficult to find a topic to talk to myself about and post it to the internet about. I do have a few thoughts about podcasting that I would like to express. First thought would be I believe that podcasting is a little out dated. My first point is that I believe that vloging and youtube.com has outdated this type of way to express your thoughts through the internet. Sure like everything there is a time and place where everything can be used. The second point is, I really don’t like when people ramble on about nonsense. It really bothers me when people just ramble on and on about nothing. I like to call this circle time, and it just frustrating. Well this is my rant for the week, see you again soon.
