There are increasing number of new kinds of technologies are created by people; we have various kinds of way to express our knowledge, felling and emotion. The remix is one of those but it is kind of controversial. I am kind of enjoying the remix thing. Like the video i showed above, i think this person is smart. Some people think that when someone using remix, he or she may end up with copying other’s ideas without giving credits. They also think that it is not really respectful to use others’ idea and that might be resulting in being fined. That could be a potential problem of the use of remix but it has benefits to against the drawbacks. Lessig clam “(new technology) These tools of creativity have become tools of speech. It is literacy for this generation. This is how our kids speak. It is how our kids think. In some ways that remix can change people’s thinking. Also it changes the way that people speaking or acting. New generation can use the technology to create a new form of art.
Lessig says, “From the very beginning of human culture, we have taught our kids RW creativity. We taught them that is how to build upon the culture around us by making reference to that culture or criticizing it” (106). The culture is keep changing and also the way that we present the ideas. Today we have a huge amount of medium to delivery information. The Internet, TV and newspaper bring people new things, ideas and information. For some of those are boring that people don’t really want to have a look at and they just don’t remember after watching. For the remix, which is really new and interesting way to providing the news and information. Most of people will consider that they want to look at those remix version of a news or an important speech. It cannot only easy for people to focus but also it can let people remember some of the core idea that the speech is trying to tell. People love to learn things in a fun and relax way.
Future Goals
For the future goal of the remix field, I think that I would really like to watch as many remix as I can to enrich my knowledge. Also I think that remix can provide me creativity. After watch some of the remix version, I feel like that I can do something about remix by myself. It is not only a fun way to present ideas but also it can show the detail that people easily forget.
