Art within the Cloud

My experience with art in the cloud is mostly related to photography. I have never been one to use many programs like photoshop to manipulate the photographs, but I enjoy taking them none the less. I think that the increase of art within the cloud has allowed many individuals to become more visible, and it has made the art world more "underground," and less about established artists. I know that there is a lot of individuals who are very talented and now have a platform to display their art. One that they might not have otherwise. On a side note, I do not like using phones to take photos. I really like to use a dslr, or at least a point and shoot.

Creative Commons

I found this article very interesting, http://www.rss-specifications.com/creative-commons.htm. I think that creative commons is a very interesting organization, and their innovation is well received on the web. I think that by making the copyright something that exists in grey areas rather than a black or white law, makes material or whatever a publisher has created more accessible and viewable by the public. I think that this is the next natural progression in this area, and I think that as the cloud becomes more powerful and comprehensive you will find many laws changing or you will find innovative change such as this. 

Kevin Kelly and the future of the Internet

This video, Kevin Kelly, Internet 5000 days old, features Kevin Kelly talking about the power and incredible growth of the Internet. It is amazing to think that in such a short period of time it has progressed as much as almost any other technology in our history, and the intervals in between change seem to be shortening. The information being presented at around 4:20 is incredible. The specs on the Internet are so incredible and so vast it is almost futile to attempt to understand it's wholeness. The overall general feeling that I got from watching the video was a sense of suspense or a curiosity as to what will come next. Where will the next innovation come from? What will it look like? One has to assume that the next 5000 days will be even more productive and revolutionary in scope.

Jeremy in the cloud

Maybe I am just one of the lame ones left in the world, but I do not enjoy using social media sites like facebook, twitter, etc. Most of my interaction within my cloud happens in XBOX live. I enjoy playing video games on there when I can. I have to use my e-mail on a regular basis and have a limited connectivity, but I wouldn't say that I am immersed into the cloud. However, I could over time become a little more connected to other people within the web, and make my cloud a little bigger.
