Greg Leuch who specializes in interface design and computer research is an expert at constructing different applications and plug-ins, such as his project Ctrl+F’d.  This project is a “playful experiment” by Greg Leuch that addresses the issue of online censorship.  Leuch says that many people believe what they can’t see, cannot be read, which is often false.  This new media project involves a link that “blocks” out information on any website.

I think all of Leuch’s work is interesting.  It shows that there are holes and glitches in the internet that people can learn to maneuver through if they have the knowledge and initiative.  All technology has a way of breaking through its system.  I am definitely one of those computer illiterate people the Leuch was talking about , which is way  I think it is fascinating that people who computer whizzes, like Leuch, find creating plug-ins easy and something they would do in their free time!

Try this trick on your friends by bookmarking Ctrl+F’d and censoring the web pages that they visit!
