This is an interesting video about the young army private, Bradley Manning, who willingly passed restricted military information about the Afghan and Iraq Wars as well as over 250,000 U.S. State Department cables to WikiLeaks. Manning had access to all of this information because of his position as a low-level intelligence analyst with the military in Iraq.

  I found Hayles's views on authorship and Wikipedia to be particularly interesting: {12:03} "I'm not alarmed by Wikipedia. In fact, I think Wikipedia is the best source for some aspects of popular culture. . . And it really is a framework that draws on all the expert knowledge that's out there that doesn't exist in the authorized channels. To me, that's a great thing." {12:58} "It used to be that one would be an author in the sense of producing a print book. That print book would be vetted by expert readers at the press. . . But in Wikipedia, there's a very vibrant back-and-forth between all manner of readers and contributors. . . Rather than being off completely separate from print, in fact, Wikipedia has very complex cross-connections with print authority."

Here's an interesting interview with N. Katherine Hayles (author of this week's readings) for a program called The Artist's Craft. Hayles talks about some of the concepts found in this week's readings and also touches upon some new ideas. I find the material to be extremely accessible in this Q&A format.

This RSA adaptation of Evgeny Morozov's 2009 talk illustrates (and examines) the concept of "cyber-utopianism": the theory that the internet "plays a largely emancipatory role in global politics." Morozov discusses whether or not the internet predominately empowers or censors citizens by facilitating activism and allowing individuals to disseminate information more effectively.
