So You Want To/Write a Cyber Punk Story: Difference between revisions

Line 74:
* Survivalism vs. the end of the world eg. is a guy on the internet forum that has five boxes of canned mushrooms, fifty cans of peas, a chain-lock and puts a knife on the end of the stick that he found in the park going too far, or not far enough?
* Use of advanced technology by those in abject poverty eg. budget cell phones in Somalia (the telecom industry of which boomed since Barre fell and while there was no longer any functioning State, by the way)
* What relationship does technology have with creativity and expression? Eg, should singers with record deals use pitch correction, also known as auto-tune? Should we use a store-bought, copyrighted, official music CD with an electric violin with lots of other electro-phones, or should we use the Youtube song cover an unknown, but clearly proficient singer made using a cheap webcam, a banjo and the help of her friend on the acoustic violin? Should we rock out to Rage Against the Machine, Krio de Morto, or Othernoises? Should we go to an un-amplified classical violin session in person, or should we stay home and watch X-Factor on cable? If we want to go to an un-amplified classical violin session, should we ask Cortana to suggest one, or should we bicycle to the town square and look for posters, and will the content of the violin session be affected by this choice? What's the relationship between the medium and the message? Does the meaning of the Fox News reporter's outburst during the Katrina disaster change when copied from TV to Youtube? Does Beware the Batman have an evil version of Anarky and the comic books have both "good" and "evil" versions of Anarky because BtB is a television show, the comic books aren't and television inherently values order more that comic books, or because of who the writers are?
* Machine readable language vs. natural language
* COBOL, FORTRAN, C/C++/Microsoft Visual C# vs. Haskell, Gallina, Erlang, Eiffel and RavenSPARK
