We continued our conversation about file sharing today, again with Jon Ippolito. Today he introduced us to "The Pool", which is a network of file sharing within the new media department. At the end of the lecture he raised an interesting question to challenge our moral reasoning... "Is sharing dangerous?"
My response to this question would be that of course sharing has the potential to be dangerous. Anything that, when abused, can turn into an nonproductive means of communication. If professors gave students the opportunity to share all work then there would of course, be some students who would not do any of their own work. Humans are humans, some are motivated, some are not. Sharing is a wonderful concept but when put into action can produce dangerous results because of the nature of human beings. This heightens the possibility of the loss of creative individualistic approaches to learning.
