Andrew Wells, Make up; Poster

Looking over my blogs i found some of my blogs were missing, but luckly I was smart enough to save my notes on my lap top.
This was my understanding of Mark Poster:
It is obvious that technology is advancing faster and faster and faster every year. Our technology is increasing at a faster speed because of the type of information we're receiving through the new technology; Televisions, computers, telephones (cell phones), consumer electronics, and publishing. Since the era of technology is currently active by Americans, its basic structure is based in the United States. A great quote to grab from Posters reading: " the dominant use of the english on the internet suggest the extension of American power as does the fact that email adresses in the United States alone do not require a country code." To go off of this quote i think that its important to say that its not the code that should be require for the U.S, its more of a favorable operation that the Americans hold toward smaller people. The only reason why the United States is capable of sustaining the no-country code is because it is considered to be a prosperous nation when compared to otehr countries. This thought of the country code is thought to create dominance amongst the other less fortunate countries.

One theorist that references Poster's notion is Baudrillard. He support these ideas through two terms: simulation and dissimulation. These words represent the idea of absence and presence in the same function. Virtual reality is an image that masks the absence of reality because one performs as if these creations of reality are taking place for real when they are not.
