Often we hear that our society is constantly changing, but do we even know to what we are specifically referring? Or is this change for the better or the worse? Our culture’s progression is obvious, but is its direction? In Lessig’s “Remix”, John Phillip Sousa had a negative impression of our society’s future, but we still have high hopes. Through the use of internet platforms, we have made leaps and bounds in expanding what our fore-fathers ever thought possible: non-linear text, access to information, and the widespread sharing of creative ideas. But has our technology expanded so far that we have become more powerful than government regulations? Bills like SOPA and PIPA have aimed to limit this expansion, but seem to be powerless against this “blind progression” of media content. Is this progression leading us towards a disconnect from our own culture, or more connected? Lanham argued that our knowledge and actions are directly realted to our accumulation of “stuff”. The internet gives us immediate access to knowledge. Twitter, a very common platform of multimedia writing, gives celebrities that ability to voice themselves free from interference from outside factors. We can see what they’re personality is like when their next show is.
