VIDEO CONFERENCE WITH UCDAVIS

 Thembisa urged us to participate in a video conference with the University of California Davis, and I took part as well,Besides being over shadowed and intimidated by third year students I actually had a lot of fun. I learned completely things such as what they have going on for them, like the proposed net neutrality which is aimed at providing internet access to every citizen at the same rate. The only difference is that those that who would like faster connections would have to pay more, the debate with this proposed net neutrality is that companies that provide internet access will control searches by making certain pages that they like pop up faster than others. Therefore they limit searches and they can control the results that people receive after a certain search. We shared some of the issues that we face as well and they were very interested in the Media Appeals Tribunal as well as on how we feel about, and on our level of access to the internet and on the newspapers that as well on what we generally do on the net. It was a really great experience and I'm honestly glad that I went.
