Podcast Reflection #4 - Ed Tech Weekly—The Death of the Open Web

This podcast discussed an article from the New York Times entitled, “The Death of the Open Web.”  The article talked about the idea that Apple has complete controls over everything and the days where freedom to post whatever you want is gone.  All of the members on the Ed Tech Weekly show concluded that this article was definitely false.  They discussed that there are still plenty of ways to post whatever you want on the web, stating that there are a number of ways to post information on the web without even having to deal with Apple.  I agree that there are various ways to post things to the web without dealing with Apple because I do it all of the time. (Or at least I think I do!)  I think this article was just worried about Apple becoming some sort of monopoly.  All in all, I agree with the cast of EdTech weekly in that the article “Death of the Open Web” is a little ridiculous and false.
