  • The project is meant to explore both positive and negative aspects of a world saturated with technology that can monitor people and objects remotely. "What we want to understand," Borriello said, "is what makes it useful, what makes it threatening and how to balance the two."
  • Our objective is to create a future world where RFID is everywhere and figure out problems we'll run into before we get there,
  • For more than a year, a dozen researchers have carried around RFID tags equipped with tiny computer chips that store an identification number unique to each tag. Researchers installed about 200 antennas throughout the computer-science building that pick up any tag near them every second.

BETT 2009 An estimated 30,000 people visited BETT this year "As an organisation, we have been criticised for not adequately covering open source solutions and our predominance of proprietary solutions, such as those by Microsoft. "We have therefore responded to this pressure and in our role of strategy and delivery of technology in education, we've made an effort to stay balanced and have focused on facilitating effective choice for schools," he said.

    "One thing is certain, and is unlikely to be news that's welcomed at Facebook HQ. There is a growing perception out there that Facebook isn't the safest of places to be," wrote Sophos senior technology consultant Graham Cluley in a recent blog post. Some of the key threats recently highlighted by Sophos are rogue applications or survey scams that pop up from users' own Facebook friends who have been tricked into clicking on an interesting looking news headline or YouTube video that then duplicates to everyone in their friend's list. It then directs them to click on a website or survey, or inadvertently download malware. One of the offenders now doing the rounds is a fake application that promises to let you see who has been viewing your profile.

    The Iranian government, more than almost any other, censors what citizens can read online, using elaborate technology to block millions of Web sites offering news, commentary, videos, music and, until recently, Facebook and YouTube. Search for "women" in Persian and you're told, "Dear Subscriber, access to this site is not possible."

  • Although common tracking systems, known as cookies, have counted a consumer's visits to a network of sites, the new monitoring, known as "deep-packet inspection," enables a far wider view -- every Web page visited, every e-mail sent and every search entered. Every bit of data is divided into packets -- like electronic envelopes -- that the system can access and analyze for content.

    Too many of us suffer from a condition that is going to leave our grandchildren bereft. I call it personal digital disorder. Think of those thousands of digital photographs that lie hidden on our computers. Few store them, so those who come after us will not be able to look at them. It's tragic.
