This article is a very interesting one for the computer geeks of the world and maybe even for government. Google is wanting to map out the inside of businesses and large buildings so that you can no only find your way to the building but the nearest door and which stair case to take and which hallway to turn down. Google is starting a new generation of maps online.   Government on the other hand might not like this. If you map out the inside of the building isn't that making it more accessible to terrorists to plan an attack or for thieves to plan and escape after a jewelry heist? Where will google go from there? Could this turn into and invasion of privacy?   What this means to the CIT majors is that almost anything is possible. If google can map out the indoors what is to stop us from doing anything? The sky.... The basement is our limit.

Facebook has changed its privacy policy to include a twitter like profit scheme. Facebook is now making the adds and tests you take eligable to be sent back to the developer for research purposes to see what you are interested. This then helps its advertising on the side bar of the website. I chose this article because I think its good to get the word out that whatever you do on Facebook is being sent back to the developer. That then allows them to view your profile to see what you are interested in. To me this seems a little over-kill ion the fact that they shouldn't be able to see your entire profile. But with facebook being free they can do anything.
