Hack Production

February 19, 2006 irinagorodetskaya

In Lecture 9, Professor Halavais showed hack production during which images are taken from certain photos and are attached in various places of other photographs. There are many nude photographs of celebrities and sometimes we may detect them as unreal and sometimes we may find them funny. However, I think hack production is a huge problem, especially when the target can be someone we know or even ourselves.  During my RA years on a freshman floor, I had couple of boys who would play around with Photoshop and the Flash program to create “funny” photographs and even action clips of people they knew. I personally feel that this is a huge problem because someone’s jokes can turn into another person’s sufferings. With the new and approved technology, sometimes it may be very difficult to distinguish unreal from real photographs and such photographs can jeopardize the victim’s reputation and future.  Although I am extremely happy that pornography has spurred new technology and allows individuals to explore their uniqueness and creativity, it can cause eternal harm.  Unfortunately, there are no restriction with these software that can prevent us from using the technology in negative ways. However, I think it is very important for parents, teachers and any person in leadership to talk about pornography and technology to kids and prevent hacking production from taking place.
