viewing.
4. (Connections) How does one
element in this article specifically relate to Postman (or at times I will ask
you to compare to a different article read in class- edit as appropriate)?
Postman argued the technological change
is ecological in that it does not just have singular impact but rather impacts
the entirety of society. In the case of copyright infringement there have been
significant profit losses as a result of information being freely available on
the internet, and it is causing companies to realize they must restructure.
5. (Application) Name a specific example or NEW
solution for this type of problem/similar situation in society or that you have
experienced – be specific and
explain?
One example is Netflix, who were able to
change the movie industry and provide videos to the public for a small monthly
fee. This changed the industry forever, closing many video rental stores

views on companies such as Napster?

is a company that allows people to upload music files and then allows others to
download them free of charge. This has caused a shift in the music industry and
how people obtain music. Lars of Metallica is speaking out against Napster and
argues that people do not have the right to their music tracks without
purchasing them. Chuck D says that Napster is where in music industry is headed
and it is the job of the artists to role with the punches.

element in this article specifically relate to Postman (or at times I will ask
you to compare to a different article read in class- edit as appropriate)?
According to Postman, there
are winners and losers in every technological change. In the instance of
Napster people are able to obtain free music, while young artists are able to
provide their music to the public. The losers are the artists that are having
their work stolen and are unable to make a product from it.

state the technological change is ecological, meaning that one change can
influence many others. The development of the Kinect by Microsoft made 3d
scanners one hundredth of the price as they were previously. This made is more

protection.
5. (Application) Name a specific example or NEW

I
have personally had images stolen from my personal Instagram account and used
as advertisements for programs that I have never endorsed. Unfortunately, there
was not much of a solution for me except to comment on the photo stating that
it was mine and not authorized to use. Instagram allows the reposting of
imagery and users must be aware of the information they are providing to the
public.
