No Lecture- Reflection Week

During this week I had chance to analize some of the topics we have been studying in this unit, was an important break for me because of all the content we have been learning.

We also had to read a couple of websites with topics related to the media production.

The first (http://blue-anvil.com/archives/guide-to-semantic-mark-up/) is a guide to semantic Mark-up, which is basically a short guide that explains the correct way of spelling the HTML code, in this guide I found very interesting examples of the possible mistakes that we can make when writing the code.

One of the best examples I found is that when I want to render the text in bold I always use and here they

explain that the correct way of rendering bold letters is , I also have to say that some of the other examples I already know them like the css uppercase modification and the title modification.

The blockquote example was also new for me because before knowing this spell, i used to make a table with a copuple of columns, writing the blockquote on the right column and giving styles with css, I have to say that is awsome to learn some different ways of writing code.

The second website (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Australia)

contains some of the steps that the government have been taking during these years with censoring some websites.

In the text they explain that the first reason why they wanted to censor some of the internet content is because few children where having access to pornographic content, but this was just the first reason, during the next years they began to add new modifications

on the censoring law, dividing the categories in two:

Mandatory censored websites and Optional censored websites.

On the mandatory censored websites are all the children pornographic websites, and some other random illegal websites, and on the Optional censored websites are some of the 18+ content.

In my opinion the government should be worried of some other stuff, instead of trying to be like the "father" of a society in which residents should have the rights to decide which content they want to have online.

I can say that this kind of online censoring laws the only thing that they are creating is to make Australia similar to these Asian "no freedom" countries.

Cheers.
