Muddies Point

I do not have a muddiest point from this past week.

Reading Notes - December 8

Online data mining and projects like TIA is like something out of a sci-fy thriller..but they were based at least partly in reality. There are so many social justice problems with gathering person information as well as just with personal information that individuals post themselves on the internet. By creating an intangible system (the internet) where we can post and collect information, these possible systems and fears were bound to pop up. Technology enters the political realm with this issue. Can we aggregate person information for the purpose of "security" whether regional or global? How far can we hold onto our own privacy?

Notes for Nov. 24

I could not find the articles from David Hawkings.

The Michael Bergman article talked about the amount of the web that is found/used by any person and the amount that is uncovered (or only used by very few people). The deep web really shows how big and "deep" the web is a and, like the real ocean, how much of it is undiscovered.

The final article is about metadata tagging from users. They created a registry that has served useful to keeping track of who tags what and from that information, one can determine why and from what perspective they tagged. This can make it easier to determine if tags are being genuinely applied.
