For our task this week we have to combine a news article with a cyberpunk fiction story, that is about the topic we have chosen from a list. I chose Corporate Control Over Society.
Before ever doing this course and if I had ever heard of the word "cyberpunk", I would have guessed the term would have meant some sort of cross between Ashton Kutcher's tv show, Punked and the internet. So being "punked" online. (Don't ask me how.) I have read and re-read many definitions of Cyberpunk and I'm afraid to say I still do not get it! I think I am one of those people that never will. But, I think it is a mixed genre, which expresses ideas of humanity and technology, (erm) combining in the future. (I am shocked there is one but, Thanks cyberwiki).
Sourced from here
As for the lecture, well I have no hope! I grasped the term of Virtual Reality as I have heard this before. But Virtual Rationality?? Nope, never. I think I may need to re-read the notes to get some sort of inkling of what that was about. The virtual language was interesting. Some of the key concepts used, well, I would have never have thought they were part of the virtual language.
