NOTES:
- there was a time when technology didn't seem like a big thing
- monopolys were illegal back then but now google owns youtube, etc.
- the enviorment movement is a good example
- insteadof teaching a skill, it would be better to teach a critical approach
From the skype conversation with Cory Doctorow I learned that there was actually a time where people weren't interesed in technology and not everyone was out carring a phone ; it just didn't seem like a big thing. I also learned that monopolies were illegal back, places like Google couldn't buy companies like Youtube; they can now though. Something that Mr. Doctorow said that just stuck out to me was "instead of teaching a skill, it would be better to teach a critical approach". This is basically doing something that is out there, be you... Being able to participate in an interview with a best selling author and public intellectual was awesome, like when will I ever experience something like this again? These are the kind of people I would like to learn from in the future, also people who aren't afraid to speak up (if that makes sense).
