Digital Media - GoodPlay project - 0 views

  •  
    With support from the MacArthur Foundation, the GoodPlay project explores the ethical character of young people's activities in the new digital media. We seek to understand how young people conceptualize their participation in virtual worlds and the ethical considerations that guide their conduct. We are exploring five themes which we believe to be undergoing reformulation in the digital age, with implications for ethics-identity, privacy, ownership and authorship, credibility, and participation.

TED-Ed | How algorithms shape our world - Kevin Slavin | Jul 2011 - 0 views

    "Kevin Slavin argues that we're living in a world designed for -- and increasingly controlled by -- algorithms. In this riveting talk from TEDGlobal, he shows how these complex computer programs determine espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. Slavin also warns that we are writing code we can't understand with implications we can't control."

    An thought-provoking talk that could be used in study of social and ethical issues embedded in algorithms topics in Information Processing and Technology.
