Larry Lessig

What i got from this video is that there was some concern as to whether new technology was going to take our "Read-write" culture and change it into a "Read-only" society. Larry's argument is that technology isn't going to rob us of our creativity but instead it is going to change how we create. Things like youtube videos are great examples of how our generation is creating. We take other people ideas and make them our own. Things brings up other controversy as to what ideas can we take without being subject to copyright infringements. The fact is as long as we are putting our own spin on ideas they are no longer anyone's but our own.
