Track im vCC / Trackliste


Motivation: Unsere Gesellschaft hat durch die Entwicklung des Computers über die letzten Jahrzehnte zu einer Universalmaschine ein leistungsfähiges Werkzeug geschaffen, mit dem alle möglichen Aufgaben von einer einzigen Maschine ausgeführt werden können. GNU/Linux läuft heute auf Servern, Desktop, Laptops, Mobiltelefonen, Tablets, Fernsehapperaten, E-Book-Readern, Routern und vielem mehr. Doch viele IT-Hersteller erschweren die selbstbestimmte Nutzung von Freier Software auf diesen Geräten. Sie nehmen uns die Kontrolle darüber, was wir genau mit diesen Geräten machen können und was mit den darauf enthaltenen Daten geschiet. Der Track soll zeigen, wie Hersteller uns die Kontrolle über unsere Computer entziehen und welche konkreten Möglichkeiten bestehen, selbst über die Software auf unseren Geräten zu bestimmen und damit die Kontrolle über die eigenen Geräte zu behalten.

 Computers are woven into the fabric of our daily lives. They are the machines
 we use to create knowledge, they let us talk and write to each other, they
 are the cars, trains and planes that we use to move around.
 Computers are so tremendously useful because they are general purpose
 machines. We routinely use them to create and do things that the people who
 built them never dreamed of.
 Yet we are in the middle of an intense battle for control of these computers.
 Corporations are busy turning general purpose computers into mere shopping

 It doesn't have to be this way. Are we heading for a world of corporate
