While i struggled to really be inspired by anything drawn from the lecture, something that did grab my attention was the suggestioni that Broadcast television only allows for 24 hours of broadcast a day, as opposed to the 24 hours uploaded every 5 minutes on Youtube. I mean, it’s true, but we don’t really think about it like that.
The internet has an absolutely unlimited capacity without any hierarchy. There is no location of control or centre. It is never-ending, almost like a black hole.
It is this that allows the internet to be porous, allowing networks and connections and hyperlinks to be weaved in and out, connecting people from all over the world.
6 degrees of separation, hey?
