We had recently discussed [in class] people's opinions of "wikipages". To trust or not to trust. Then, there it was - an article about polling, supposedly knowledgeable, people about their faith or lack thereof in "wikipages".
Our current assignment list has an task dealing with "Ethics and Privacy" on the web - How safe do you feel? Here we go again with a timely subject. Facebook launched "Places" just last night. "Places" will post on the web in real time, photos and videos, of where you are. If on vacation, do you really want to tell the world you are away from your home and won't be back for a while?
The first CNET article on "Places" did not ask this question and I felt obligated to e-mail the author to notify her of my thoughts. Today, another author addressed that scenario.
A text message/bank scam was one of the stories on the local news.
If our current class had gone one more week, I wonder what topics we would have covered...
It's been kinda spooky!
