Audio Lectures

  I found these lectures from the UC Berkeley to be interesting.  The professors talked about how technology and society influence each other.  New Media literacy expands communication.  Media means middle, as in- the middle of things and Cyber means control.  The professor explains how  cyberculture controls your social security, shopping, etc.  He also talks about how genetic evolution has been outstripped by cultural evolution.  This, I thought, was strange.  Can we evolve so much culturally that it puts a halt or slows down how we evolve genetically?  Do these two really effect each other? Cultre effects use more than anything else based on out needs.  This sounds about right. I see how society is effected by culture tremendously in our every day lives.
