"The internet has led our society towards new paths thought impossible in the span of just half of one lifetime. Unlike television of the 20th century the internet functions through the interactivity. This has lead to new frontiers for our society to explore and has lead to exponential growths in almost every facet of life. In a response reflective of human nature, we have decided that this new power be watched and regulated. This has led to groups of people recording and monitoring our interactions with unbridled access. They also have the power to turn off the web through rules that they have written. What do we gain, and what do we lose from allowing only a select few to have free access to our most intimate information? It is with this question that I propose the idea of a completely free and transparent internet to all. Every image, web site, and email would be available to see and record, with completely equal access. In a sense we could strip the internet of its anonymity. What would be of the internet if we were cognitive of the level of privacy that we truly have? What would people do to regain that sense of privacy? How would our interaction change as we use the internet to access information, but most importantly how would our interactions change when we are out of this cyberspace? I would like to use these questions as a starting point for a new discussion about how we use this machine and the effect it has on our lives. Until we reach an equilibrium with this creation we must continue asking questions until we find an order."
I guess most obviously is that it has nothing to do with architecture. Can any of you guys think of how it can, or if it even matters?
Thanks,
