Information Management: A Proposal (Provocation)
It’s clear reading this piece (and watching his TED talk) Tim Berners-Lee was simply trying to solve problems around communication, information sharing and data management when he created the World Wide Web. He’s so genuine, you almost forget the military implications.
I arrived to a similar place/question as Lisa (around what capitalism does to “free” things like the internet). More specifically I am interested in how “human” or the difference between human and machine gets branded nearly 30 years after the creation of the internet. How does it get communicated in a capitalist space?

Anthony, I enjoyed your video and I will try to see the Ted Talk video before class. I just wanted to share with you and the others a two videos which I found (by mistake) that go so well with your question What does it mean to be human? I hope that you enjoy it:

Myrna, thanks for the videos! They go really well with the dichotomy human vs machine.
