Last Commands

@TannerSturza

Douglas Rushkoff’s last four commands are social, fact, openness, and program or be programed. The seventh command, social, claims that without a computer you are left out of social networks and will have difficulty connecting with people and being social because social networks are becoming a main source of communication. The eight command is fact and it claims that true facts spread around the internet more than false ones. When something is posted on the internet it is seen by so many people that it will be made clear if it is true or false faster than it would be if it was told to you by another person. The ninth command is openness, files and documents can be shared on the internet and that sharing is different from stealing. People without computers don’t know the difference between sharing and stealing something on the internet. The tenth and final command is program or be programmed. This command says that those who don’t have or use computers are controlled by people with computers because they are influenced by people who use the internet rather than contributing and being apart of digital technology and the internet.
