    Interesting article about how recent terror events will change how individuals and tech companies monitor/ regulate use on the internet, but not the government

    Here's just some more information about Ada Lovelace because she's pretty cool.

    I thought this article was interesting because it mentioned Ada's childhood imagination and inventions. It's interesting to consider what she could've done if she had grown up in a different place or at a different time. Also, the article mentioned that there was a computer program named "Ada" after her and I thought it was pretty cool that she's beginning to be recognized more and more. (Sorry, I don't know why this comment wasn't here earlier. It's in my original Diigo bookmark.)

    At a New York state elementary school, teachers can use a behavior-monitoring app to compile information on which children have positive attitudes and which act out. In Georgia, some high school cafeterias are using a biometric identification system to let students pay for lunch by scanning the palms of their hands at the checkout line.

    Here's a podcast interview with Bill Binney and Ladar Levison, both featured in Citizenfour. Binney was the former NSA crypto expert we saw testifying in the film a couple of times, and Levison was the guy who ran the secure email service Lavabit that he felt compelled to shut down.

    Interesting how this article talks about the gait analysis being used for catching terrorists, while in Little Brother, it was used to keep track of the high school students. The technology is not quite ready to be used, but seems to be much more reliable than the gait trackers in the book.

    Georgia Tech Research Institute is making gait recognition technology a reality. "The ultimate goal is to detect, classify and identify humans at distances up to 500 feet away under day or night, all-weather conditions. Such capabilities will enhance the protection of U.S. forces and facilities from terrorist attacks."

    Advice: Be careful with what information is stored on online devices. Always assume that the information can be leaked so you are never too vulnerable to an attack. Keep a strong password to protect your information

    Researchers at Georgia Tech are currently focusing on using gait recognition to identify people. What is useful about this is that people do not need to be enrolled in a database in order to recognize them.
