This week i must say, i am having a hard time reading this week’s reading. But after I read it over and over again …. I think i got it .
so….. In the reading of “How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom” written by Yochai Benkler, talks about the what a society’s freedom looks like is based on how people make information, how people view the information, how people imply and use these sources, and how people communicate to each other. In other words, he is trying to show how the older industrial information economy and the newer networked information economy are different. Although, the older economic model can allow creation of better wealth for corporations, the networked economy does has the potential to make a lot of freedom as well as helps to support the public values. The author, Benkler, is trying to show the positive effect by point out to the people that it is our choice to decide or choose how to use these informational technologies that the society provide us.
