End of a genre?

Really interesting how people are using their digital devices to tell their stories and capture memories. A common social trend in my opinion.

Crazy scientific way of looking at security on the internet!

Ways in which people lie using digital technologies and also how technology has changed the ways we fib.

I think is really interesting when we look at the ways we communicate health causes and programs. Movember has turned into a really "sexy" cause as is support for a lot of other campaigns.

Interesting article showing how the internet is still a difficult place to regulate and also relates to building online identity; the topic I am doing for my educative speech.

I initially thought this article would point me in a different direction, but after reading it I think we are able to see cool equate to technology. In fact, while I was reading I tried to change all the "cool" words for "technology" and I still got the same message. In our society we measure coolness by your technology integration. Geek is chic.

After reading some of the articles for this week this article seemed relevant as it looks at the effects our mobile technology and the need to be always connected is starting to have on consumers.

I am not pushing either side of this argument but I thought this documentary did a really good job of illustrating Baym's notion of how there is a discourse of fear surrounding technology.
