This week we have to choose one of 6 essay topics. At the moment I'm thinking of choosing question one which is: Discuss the impact of TWO of the following figures on the development of digital technologies and digital culture: Ada Lovelace, Charles Babbage, William Gibson, Kevin Mitnick, Alan Turing, Ray Kurzweil, J.C.R. Licklider, Douglas Engelbart.
In the Lecture, Daniel spoke about William Gibson in reference to Cyberpunk. We just spoke about the questions in the tutorial and my tutor has suggested doing William Gibson and Charles Babbage because she thinks they fit well together. I will have to find out some information on Babbage first because I have never heard of him before and then I will be able to see if I think they are the figures I want to write about. But before I start I will definitely check out a few of the others incase I find someone else more interesting than those two. It will also depend on how much information I can find about each of the figures.
