Internet art

The first thing I noticed was that the history of the Internet needs to catch up with what happened to the Internet in the 90s. This blog is an example of how much has changed and been influenced by the Internet. In years past, I would have written my essay/reflection in a paper and handed it in. Now i post it here.
I really like the Oil Standard project. It is really interesting. How many times a day to people see prices as they cruse the Internet. With the united States political climate such as it is, the knowledge of how much oil costs and what it actually means in terms of what we actually buy and money that we can wrap our head around is an amazing use of the Internet habits of people in the United States.
This project not only exploits the habits of people who use the Internet to buy almost every thing but also gives the political message of how much oil, something that seems to be on most people's minds nowadays, costs.
