Today we briefly discussed the readings, which explored the issues on internet connection in Australia and the National Broadband Network. It was interesting the hear the views of my classmates. Everyone beraded Telstra for their stronghold on the copper wire connection we have now. So strong that our current connection speed lags behind countries like Iceland. Gotta download some Bjork somehow though.
I have been a Testra mobile customer for 7 years and I am more than ready to change. Not only did they filibuster our chance for the NBN, but recently they revoked their stance on gay marriage to provide internet and connection services for the Church. The monetisation of Mardi Gras and gay rights by corporations is disturbing enough, but only more when apathy of big businesses is revealed.

I remember taking a Making Networked Media class in my first year at La Trobe and discussing the military ties that the internet has. How the internet was invented to be used as a communication service between military bases in the chance of a nuclear war. This led me on a wikipedia trawl about the dark net, transhumanism, BioArt, the Orion Project interstellar generational voyages which I won’t blog about because I am too scared.
