Having read the above reading it easy to understand how imperative it is that we as a country resolve the authorial strucuture in the media. Since the media has grown in size since it's initual inception, both the rules and grammar of the internet have been made and broke time and again. We are now in a period of relative change, where the time tables of the how we are perceived is viewed on the web.
In this writer's opinion, the first thing that must be done is establish rules and regulations on the internet. Having said this, doing so is a tricky ordeal though. We must stay on a thin line of rules and privacy. This also plays into the idea of big brother and type of control the government has over the internet. Although, if there is a way we can establish rules on the internet that blocks certain sites such as Wiki Leaks from exposing secret documents that are private, we may have found the key to the internet. As it excists itself the internet is a source of none rules. We are seeing more and more now with the creation of Facebook, Google, and other large media sites that rules have been established for them. Rules that can be controlled by the viewer or blogger in charge of their page. Having said all this, it is hard to think of something actually existing without a few major conglomerates controlling everything, which seems to becoming the case.
In the end, we can only hope that rules are established in the future that empower the user and not the companies that enlist these websites. For that will be the way authority is controlled and abandoned on the internet.
