New York Times

Photo Design programs are becoming limitless. Users are able to design pieces that are incredibly inspiring and at times frightening. Recently two gentleman forged a false copy of the "New York Times" that contained drastic left wing media and views. The most influential headline on the paper was found front and center the front page of the paper stating the the Iraq war has ended. This stunt threw many new yorkers into a disillusionment about the workings of the government and certainly stirred the public pot of knowledge about the government.

Their was more than 1 million copies produced and handed out around the city. The target areas of distribution were M.T.A areas. The reason for the stunt was to open our societies eyes to what is still going on over seas and to send a message to the incoming president and his cabinet.

I think that we often "drool" over the applications of technology and we as Americans are always wanting to push limits, which is a great attribute to contain. But we also need to realize that with all good technology can bring their is equally if not more bad that the technology is capable of.
