Virtual Environments - Networks, Artifice and The Virtual - Presentation - Weekly Report - Week 4

This week we have started our presentation and started looking at Skype and other networking mediums. Next week we will be looking at Google as a dominant network in relation to Braudrillards "perfect system" theory and PLAN as a means to visualize networks in relation to his "swap competition for network and monopoly" theory. These two statements are going to be the basis for the presentation, arguing whether we, the West, chose to give up competition or were forced to.
