  2. I think I have already got a well preparation for this presentation. However, as wesley said I can't present one main point deeply in the presentation due to the time is not enough.

    The problem of copyright is quite serious since the digital media appeared. For example, young people started to converting .cda file on CDS into mp3 files and trading, even selling in mid-1990s. Later, the peer to peer program spread to the world- wide. User/creator can exchange not just mp3 files, even the films. So, the expolitation of copyright is getting more serious.

    Wesley also point out the question that what are the meanings of post-modernity and modernity. I have asked this to wesley before. So, I am clear that these two terms are not linear, they can exist at the same time. After the tutorial, I can understand more about this topic.

    Hope all of you gain knowledge from my presentation.

  3. I think your presentation is clear about summarizing the content of the reading.And your time control is appropriate.
