  1. After the presentation, I think that my work was not good as well, however I try my best on it because the week I presented was a busy week. In the presentation, I should talked more about how other people comment on the rape event. As the reading title about "...turned a Database into a society", other people's opinions are important. I just mentioned how the technolibertarians think but missed the opinions of anarchists. It is better to stated more space in by initial outline to talk about the opinions from different users. Also, I think I can do better in the last part of the reading, I didn't gave a clear ideas to the audience toward that part. I will do better next time.

  2. James had tried to present most of the idea included in the readings in an understandable fashion. However, you can further elaborate and state clearer about 'The consequence of Mr. Bungle', which this part could be an important part of the readings. I know it's probably due to the time constrain of the presentation which make that point not clear enough. All in all, you have done a good job already. Thanks for your presentation.
