From this week's reading, two views were presented one by Castell and one by Fraiberg.
For Castell's view, the article viewed this new digital age in a sociological perspective. The ideas presented were quite dynamic, unifying, scientific and statistical. Castell viewed in the process of globalization, politicians would unify and eventually set aside their difference to negotiate one another for an effective form of government. A very dynamic view Castell also brought up was the idea of the physical space was not simply eliminated. This physical space would instead be transformed into wires and fiber optics opposing the presumed view of cyber space transformation. As well Castell brought scientific ideas in molecular biology along with the human body. Statistics was acknowledged since empirical research is required in such form to contribute to today's information technology.
Fraiberg's view presented a more direct subject and concern over AIDS, sexuality risks and cyborgs. Common issues about AIDS were brought up such as unsafe sex which is risky and the lack of conservativeness in people's behavior and discretion. At one point, Fraiberg suggested a strategy to combat the spread of AIDS with the help and cooperation with government and politicians. He/she stated that politicians should form a policy in order to halt the spread of AIDS.
I strongly prefered Castell's view since it seemed more focus on the topic with the information age and technology. Fraiberg did state some worth issues and arguments but I feel Castell possess a more constructive and favorable view with the information age. I believe scientific development in Castell's article is more likely to occur than AIDS which is a very concerning issue and may take decades before that issue ever gets solved.
