Classmate's research presentation

Jongkyun's Impact of New Media on Korea was very informative. He explained how the Korean government has made an early commitment to infrastructure and high speed access to the Internet. Now it seems that Korea is on the leading edge of Internet usage and technology. In Korea people are watching TV on their phones while riding the subway. Not only are they technologically advanced, it seems that the social aspects of the web are in place as well. There is a government ombudsman for the web, Sinmungo and a private company (Netian) polices the web, protecting users from cyber fraud, stalking and hacking. The presentation gave a lot of insights into how the web could be properly managed and may evolve here in the US. I found it very informative on what may be the future of the web here.
