Internet censorship, Internet free? This is a good representation of internet censorship and the motives behind them that is a good visual presentation

"In an effort to crack down on child pornography, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the seizure of 10 domains as a part of a new initiative called "Operation Protect Our Children" but they also shut down 84,000 seemingly innocent sites in the process."   A clear example of how attempting to exercise government control over the Internet in the United States on a even a small scale can present problems that were not the intent of the US gov. officials & decision makers!!!!!

The Apple iPad, one of apple's hottest sellers, is seeing frequent use by those in the government sector. With the seemingly endless amount of apps available for use with the iPad, many help government workers to become more efficient. The apps that are seeing the most use include twitter, quick office, evernote and flipboard. Twitter is helpful to disperse quick messages to others in the work place, and obviously has social networking benefits as well. Quick Office is seeing a lot of use as a microsoft office productivity tool. Evernote allows the user to take notes, record sound bytes, add pictures and video, and other helpful pieces of information into one "note" that is easily dispersed to others in one piece, together. Flipboard is presented almost as a "personal magazine", where feeds from social networking sites and other sites the user selects appear directly on the iPad's interface.

You can share the results with members of your staff, and even with survey respondents. post date:  Feb. 1, 2011

Heads up on a local technology event, February 16th, at 5:30pm at Wealthy Street Theater. Keith Brophy will be discussing new tech trends for 2011 that will effect the way we do business, connect with one another, and what we can look forward to in the future. I've heard of these presentations before, and that they are both entertaining and interesting. If I didn't have night classes, I'd probably be going!
