Lessig

After reading this chapter I feel that the four groups are in a way grouped in pairs. When you stop to think about it with out the invention of the Kodak camera to instantly capture pictures events such as 9/11 could not be captured and be instilled memories. The same goes with the just think project. Without the transformation of the bus with recent technology equipment it gives freedom of expression of own individuality. I realize that these buses are in San Francisco but I feel that this is a trend that could move across the the country and especially into New York where victims of loved owns lost will be able to express their hurts and joys. Since the Just Think project has not quite caught onto the whole country the opportunity to blog has helped create the freedom. It is an outlet for those to reach out and express their beliefs on certain topics and have others out there who may feel the same way that they do. The joy of blogging though is that you don't always have to agree with others. It seems to be almost more of an excitement to either read or you yourself get involved and disagree to help make other points valid. They all in a way weave together if you are able to pull bits and pieces out of each group.

With open source I believe that it is open to all to use for free. There is not membership fee to join. You are able to hop onto Internet Explorer and go to blogger to post a blog for free. Going to Wikiepedia it says that Open Source Software is source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright are provided under a software licence that permits users to study change and improve software. This gives users such as CNN or KWWL to post information on their website that has copyright behind it and offering free software to the public.
