Manifestos and the freedoms of online information….

In the ‘Hacker Manifesto’, the illustration is clear that there is one stereotype for a “hacker” and that type is of none other than a fraudulent criminal. It is clear that really very few hackers are actually criminals; their purpose is for the challenge and learning experience of creating something new out of a previous work possibly along with many other benefits. The argument of the ‘cyborg manifesto’ is that we are all, in some way, cyborgs in the sense that it includes any type of realities. According to Hathaway, “Cyborgs are socially constructed hybrids of machines and organisms.” Both of these display a similar passion for individualism in both the cyber and the real world by defending the right to explore and create at whatever pace the creator desires.

The freedom of online information has grown so rapidly, some describe it as limitless. You can enter any search engine and the imagination of the user is the only limit to what will be found on the internet. Societies around the world are so infused in the social networks that they have actually exposed themselves to the virtual world and its users. Many people do not realize the freedoms regular users, hackers, and private officials have access to once their information is submitted into cyberspace. This could be both positive and negative your information could either be used for a monumental level of good, or it can be utilized and turned into the darkest evil. Remember no one really knows who is on the other side of the networks of the cyber world or their intentions. Moderation of personal information is encouraged for the safety of yourself and other users. The internet shall not be used as a weapon for evil but a joyous electronic engine for knowledge and personal gain.
