So... from the reading on Lessig chapter 13...
Should information be owned? My opinion:
It depends. General information, no. Personal information, yes. If something is private and no one has bushiness knowing it, then it shouldn't be free game for everyone. If it is information someone needs or is beneficial for them to know, it should be allowed for them to know the information.
That is all.

It's Been Awhile
So...as you may have already noticed, I let procrastination get the best of me. Looks like its crunch time to get caught up on these blogs... Let's get started!
Anyway... I was reading chapter seven of Practices of Looking, and I gotta say it really piqued my interest. Advertising has always been a very interesting subject to me, although I am not sure why. Something about having the ability to convince someone of something in a creative way always seemed like a fun job to have. The main point that grabbed my attention came from page 275. It said, "Advertisements speak the language of transformation." What it means by this is that advertisements nearly always make a promise to "change" you in someway, and usually for the better. By buying this product, something in your life will change. I see this as a weak spot in human nature: most people are not content. They always want more of what they already have, or they want something completely different. It is very rare to find a person who is perfectly happy with anything and everything they have. That is why advertisements work so well, they sneak into a person's mind and make them think they don't have enough.
Very interesting, if you ask me...
