Kill The Robot

  • Richard Lowe

As part of my Principles of Digital Media unit at London Metropolitan, I was required to create a blog/website which accompanied the essay assessement. The essay question I chose was a reflection on the relationship between science fiction and technological development. The other half of the assessment was to create a blog, which explored similar themes to the essay, written in the style of a web blog, as opposed to an academic style. The form of my blog, which was made up of 5 separate, 400 word (approx) blogposts, examined ideas of surveillance, privacy, labour rights and ethics, through the lens of individual case studies on controversial people, companies and business practices. The blog can be found here: https://principlesofdigital.wordpress.com/ The essay which the blog accompanied can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1keifG_XNDtk3gqLMabPN7FOcUYmqUQC-/view?usp=sharing
