3) What is one objective of remix, which was also one of the original objectives of the Monster Mashup group (based off of this: Prezi):
a. To apply the principles of Fair Use.
b. To get the present generation interested in classic literature by making it relevant to them.

Essay "questions":
1) Although some people think that remix is a negative thing because it often can infringe on copyright laws, remix can however prove beneficial to education and increased creativity, and can even be legal under Fair Use. (See my blog)
2) Despite Curtis Jenkins' argument that society today is much too reliant on technology and digital media, I argue that, it's not so much the quantity of our technology and media consumption that needs to be given attention, but rather the quality of it; that we need to put more focus on actively and productively contributing to positive aspects of the digital sphere, rather than just passively consuming. (See Curtis' blog).
