MAKER CULTURE – HACKER EPISODE

 

RYERSON UNIVERSITY

 

Contributor: Steph Gellatly, Patrick O'Rourke, Lauren Strapagiel, Luke Vandezande

 

  

Elevator Pitch:

 

Hack it to bytes. 

 

Bored with your gaming system? Hack it. Tired of your web browser? Hack it. Trouble with your smartphone? Hack that too. Hacking is about altering the components of our digital lives and turning them into something entirely new, all in an attempt to improve functionality. That's what MakerCulture is all about too.

 

Users are never satisfied with technology, and now we're more able to make things work the way we want them to. In an increasingly collaborative, open source world, from hardware to software, we can come together and shape technology – we can all be makers. Take Mozilla's “Drumbeat” movement. It asks you to become an active participant, a contributing “webizen” who treats the Internet as a public resource that should be open to all.

Content Summary:

In this episode, we get our hands around all types of home brewed media—from books to music. What drives people to get out the ink and paper or turn up the speakers and press record? And why does it matter? We hear from all sorts of people adding their own flavour to the media mix.
