Bugged Cell Phone

    Again, I have lived with my phone being bugged. The bottom line is: being informed; not being involved in anything you don't want made public; and know your rights.

    In addition to bugging, we now need to think about geolocation. There are advantages and disadvantages to having a phone with geolocation. For example, it's helpful to traffic studies to be able to access data about people on the road during certain times. Geolocation contributes to accuracy of some gps mapping systems. When I first got my DROID, I had google lattitude turned on. I was going through a divorce and realized I probably didn't need to be stalked like that. (I was also testing foursquare at the time, and deleted that account.) However, I've used google latitude in a good way. If I go out on a date with someone I meed online, I can turn on latitude and my friends can track where I am. (I tell the date!)

    I have posted the FBI can hear when cell phone is turned off; Is Your Cell Bugged?; and Big Brother is Watching as food for thought and because of earlier comments. The question is: In an Open Society how many freedoms are we willing to give up to be protected from Terrorist attacks? A thought worth pondering.

    Nothing is private. I actually made a huge mistake last week. I was testing to see if we could import the content of one of our courses from one site to another. The course site is set to private right now, and we've had guest presenters visit the class. The new site was public. I imported the content and it worked so I forgot about it. I got an email from one of the guests upset that I had put his content in a public place without telling him. He was rightfully upset. However, I started thinking about how any of the students could have cut and pasted his content or gotten screenshots of it and put it out there.

    I had an interesting experience last quarter. I have a History of Animation class that is currently on Vista/Blackboard. What happened was that through an oversight, students weren't charged a use fee for the site, so I couldn't access it for the class. I had to transfer all of the content to a Google Sites location. I was amazed to find out that I could just copy and paste from Blackboard Vista pages directly into my Google site - preserving the links and formatting (!!). It was a life-saver for me.

    That's great! That's one of the reasons I've created the files for our course in HTML. If it ever needs to be put someplace else, it will be an easy transition.
