10-25: Eu-roping the Internet
Is it cheating when you type a blog on a PC rather than your own Mac? (I'm sorry Sawtooth).
Well, I still have yet to receive any offers for The Networks about my TV promo (sigh). But, now I've begun focusing on Europe's response to an ever-changing internet. I still will be discussing regulations and what impact they may have on the internet. However, the European Union seems to have the most information regarding a plan on how to safeguard the internet as well as maintains its usefulness. Furthermore, the EU has clear guidelines regarding security measures and implementation of them.
How does this tie into literacy? Well, without any sort of security plan, professors argue that the internet would be useless to the masses. Imagine being bombarded by Spam, Pop-up Adds constantly. Whenever you move your mouse, a new product will appear on your screen. Literacy could not exist or rather be found without some form of control.
That's all I got for now...my sleep deprivation is starting to kick in.

As far as I know you are right that the EU is coming forward with the most likely plan for internet governance.
And, to prevent further sleep deprivation, you probaly want to narrow your focus so that you don't just end up giving an overview of the EU's plan. Pick one or maybe two of the issues you raise in your discussion of how internet governance affects digital writing and develop an in depth exploration of how, say how to negotiate the balance between control and open access to regulate spam. See what the EU is proposing in terms of regs, consequences, guidelines recommendations -- and the put in your two cents. Maybe you have a better idea!
This looks good, Matt.
