Editor's Notes
- "Yet we are trained to ignore another form of governmental intervention that also made the Internet possible. This is the regulation that assured that the platforform upon which the Internet was built would not turn against it." p44, Future of Ideas, Lessig, L. Question: What can we interpret from Lessig’s final sentence in the reading, “Freedom thus enhanced the social value of the controlled…”? Question: How does our understanding of the Language of the Internet, both code and content, affect how we design for it and how we use it? Think about the RFC’s (request for comments in the design of the protocol.)
- Content is at the Core • Code a page with no tags – content comes through • Easy to create Web pages • Linear format, top to bottom
