Visual Arts and the Internet I have selected the area of visual arts to give examples of websites that I have found exploring the impact of new technologies. Artist’s influence from technology has allowed them the freedom to expand their mediums in which they work with, exhibit their work world wide, collaborate with other artists and discover new concepts with scientists. Artists’ are always looking for something new and different, the best possible way to communicate their ideas. Cynthia
1. INTRODUCTION General Statement/Attention-getter: Has internet censorship undermined the freedom of art creation? This is the familiar question that we always heard when we mention about the internet. As for me, I strongly disagree that internet censorship undermined the freedom of either art creation or entertainment creation. Background: In this era of science and technology, the internet plays a crucial part in our lives. It is one of the most useful inventions of all time and it has brought
Is Censorship necessary? “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear." -- Harry S Truman Thesis: Although some people believe that censorship is adequate to select what things does the society will be good and can live around it while others believe that there

Those responsible for book banning, censored lyrics, and confined art should no longer use ignorance as a shield. Many believe that music should be censored for its explicit content. For example,

This not only gave exposure to these musicians, but it also gave smaller, less known artists chances at exposure. Mp3.com began some years later, a website initiated for the soul purpose of allowing local musicians with recorded albums or demos to publish their works to the mainstream Internet, and gained much popularity

With information on virtually any topic, collaborative forums, and a massive library of media, it seems at times that everything is available on the internet. However, it is not without its darker side. Within these vast catalogues of knowledge lurk immense amounts of disagreeable, offensive, and obscene

With the current explosion of the news websites, there is the question of credibility of news articles on the internet. It is important to know whether the news is correct or not.

longer than the internet, however it has wavered financially due to easy access to free and, at times, illegal music. It is important to see how this phenomenon is taking place currently. Is the music industry benefitting from the rise of the internet? Will it crumble completely? And if so, is it beneficial to artists? Or does the industry’s failure put a strain on artists trying to make a living? The future of the music industry relies on the nature of its relationship with the internet: cooperative
should not consider the Internet as a “villain” but a medium that can create award-winning writers someday. New technologies can be highly influential to the young generation today, but we, the older generation, can be responsible adults and guide these kids so that they will make use of these technologies to their advances and improve themselves, and not otherwise. I agree with Amy Goldwasser for the most part of her article especially when she says that, “the Internet has turned teenagers into

Art is a way to visually express yourself on a creative platform where you never have to worry about suppressing or censor your true feelings. Recently I’ve read somewhere that art is a human skill as opposed to nature, a skill applied to music, painting, writing, poetry, etc. Though I still believe nature can be considered art too. Basically if something is made a certain way, then it can be treated as art. Generally speaking artist typically use their form of artwork to pass along their viewpoints

Young adults use social technology such as the Internet and mobile phones on a daily basis to maintain their relationships. Due to the miscommunication that often occurs from not a lack of face-to-face interactions, social technology shapes the way romantic relationships function. Therefore, social technology impacts romantic relationships through a technological determinist outlook, leading to trust and dissatisfaction issues through the Internet and mobile devices, thus negatively changing face-to-face
The purpose of this paper is to explore the impact that the Internet has on the adult sex industry. After careful observations at an adult retail store, it was quickly notices that not very many people attend local shops. The rapidly increasing market of sexually explicit material on the internet challenges social science to study the range of experiences that are involved with such content (Fisher & Barak, 2001).

women are increasingly portrayed as sex symbols as a way for a media company to turn a profit. The Internet has grown to be the biggest exploiter of women. Through pornographic chat rooms and on-line “dating” services, women are commonly depicted as nude in images that has them submissive to men.
