Welcome to the Bytegeist

Hello, my name is Richmond Wong. I am currently a junior at Cornell University, double majoring in Information Science and Science and Technology Studies.  In general, I’m deeply interested in the interaction between people and technology, whether on an individual level, like human computer interaction, or on a more aggregate social level, such as technology policy.  (I also deeply care about music, as a clarinetist in the Cornell Wind Symphony!)

The Bytegeist is about the intersection of technology and culture

In regards to new media, I’m interested its policy implications, as well as how use of new media may affect politics and the public sphere. Looking ahead, it seems like we will be discusses many issues that touch on these topics during the semester, and I am looking forward to engaging in a discussion about them.
