Never Say Impossible

Done the Impossible raised many questions in my mind. It was very interesting to me to see how the fans
or "Browncoats" acted together to resurrect something they believed in, not only that but how the people
behind the show appreciated this as well. Culture and the idea of the meme tie into most of this week’s readings,
Browncoats and Firefly both symbolize a sense of culture as well as community, believing that the impossible can
be done. Within Doctorow's article as well as SuperShadow, we see cultures gone bad and how people become
selfish as other people work to fix them. Viral marketing is a way for people to get other people to spread
information voluntarily. It seems as if viral marketing can be both good and bad. I think the use of viral marketing
in trying to stop Mickey Suttle. Doctorow’s article on the other hand, described harmful information that was
passed along that disrupted culture. With the growth and advent of new communication technologies, obstacles
such as viral marketing will always be an issue and there is no single way to protect community and culture.
However, examples such as Firefly, prove that you can overcome and achieve the impossible.
