    BASIC-256 is an easy to use version of BASIC designed to teach young children the basics of computer programming. It uses traditional control structures like gosub, for/next, and goto, which helps kids easily see how program flow-control works. It has a built-in graphics mode which lets them draw pictures on screen in minutes, and a set of detailed, easy-to-follow tutorials that introduce programming concepts through fun exercises.

  • companies involved say customers' privacy is protected because no personally identifying details are released.
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The system can show when people leave the office, when they return, how often they take breaks, where they go and who's meeting with whom,
  • if people don't see the tags, it's easy to forget they are giving out information whenever they come within range of a reader.
  • how to make the technology useful while protecting privacy
  • The system is transparent, so each can tell if the other has checked his whereabouts.
  • Users can search the calendar to jog their memories about when they last saw someone or how, where and with whom they spent their time.

      Ethical issues to choose the right technology for the problem. Good point
  • data from radio tags can be pieced together to offer a detailed profile of a person's habits without his or her knowledge.
  • People don't understand the implications of information they're giving out," Borriello said. "They can be linked together to paint a picture, one you didn't think you were painting."

      Critical for people to be street smart. Important role for schools
  • Last year, the number of police requests for information from London's RFID-based transit card rose from four per month to 100
  • It's important to understand what the technology can do and we, collectively, have to decide what we're going to use it for
