Week 13: Wrapping up

Final post! It's been such an up-and-down semester and it's been really hard at times. I've really enjoyed learning about all the different means and uses for which the internet operates. At points, I've just been fascinated by how it operates, like that notion of 'distributed control' and even just the democracy it affords us in what could be called an increasingly corporate-  and government- controlled world. I guess there is the "frontier" idea that's been touched on in this subject and built upon in the last lecture--that we don't know what we're getting ourselves into as a society, because it's all so new. But you know what? Bring it, I'm looking forward to seeing the future of digital networks in our society.
