In this lecture we focus on the possibilities of the the technology to change the political traditional ways,so it discuss certain aspects :

  • Democracy
  • Gaps in the Mass Media
  • Free Speech and Censorship.

  • Citizen-Hacker: Doing Global Democracy.

  • Cyberpunk.

Democracy:
when we say democracy in this frame we have to clear two terms:
CyberPolitics by that we mean the group of people over the Internet that share the same political opinions away from any rules or regulations .without some time concerned about ethnic or region issues.
eDemocracy by that mean the way that traditional political cases spread and stretch into the Internet to reach more people and gain their trust.
as good example of that we saw in the late US elections Parka Obama used the Internet to win the race through variety of channel like Facebook,youtube etc..
or even though indirect way like "Obama Girl" to reach certain age category or gender.

Gaps in the Mass Media

simple it mean that traditional can be biased on how they approach some issues or even berate the trust of there followers to certain ex tine,so in some way the lead to the Internet as way to solve or even keep the balance.

Free Speech and Censorship
the Internet make Good environment for free speech in any issue in our daily live and in this case the political field so every one can speak free about any political matter or even figure.

Citizen-Hacker: Doing Global Democracy

may it a good way to express free speech in a dark way and illegal in some.we see Hackers developed from just "eThieves" to freedom fighters that say their opinions by hacking to other medium to speak their mind .

Cyberpunk
it is anew way to reach people not not traditional punk music but through the Internet and
a science fiction that that create to give awareness about what could happen in the futur.
