discussion points:
the war efforts are turned into a "profit"
privacy is given up to prepare for war
technology aspect comes into play because of surveillance.
technology is used by politicians to gain voters.
Creators of Facebook watch us, but we are not able to watch the creators of Facebook....just like how politicians use surveillance to watch us but we cant see what they are doing behind the scenes to know who truly is the correct choice.
Iraq war was the first interactive war. Government tricks us into giving up privacy by easing minds and getting info.
Us trying to prevent terrorism has actually formed a bigger terrorist union. Networking.
What happened:
It was hard to blog and discuss at the same time because our discussion kept taking drastic turns which at times made me forget points that were made. We did this process by bsically just havong a class discussion and just running off peoples ideas, one to the other.
