Directions: This week you’ll be watching the documentary, We Live in Public, which offers insight into the early internet. Looking back on the work of people like Josh Harris offers a really fascinating glimpse into the foundations of internet-based media today. Be aware that there are a few scene that you might find uncomfortable, including one of non-consensual sexual interaction. This happens at the 48:00-49:00 minute mark, so you may want to skip that scene.
After viewing, please answer any one of the following questions:
1) In what ways did Josh Harris’ actions foreshadow the state of contemporary media? Think about reality television, trading privacy, and content creation by everyday people?
2) What was the most surprising thing you learned about the early days of internet broadcasting? Where would Josh Harris say we are headed next?
3) The pre-dot-com crash and the early days of internet broadcasting aren’t widely documented, but are obviously crucial in the understanding of where we are today? Why is that the case?
Your essay should be at least 800 words in length
