REDEFINING THE GRIEVING PROCESS OF A DIGITAL AGE
TO LISTEN
This touches base upon issues the new digital media causes for people now of days. From Web Pages such as Facebook and Emails how conflicts can arise amongst friends, family, and co-workers. How privacy issues can cause discomfort and un-security for some people. But also how facebook and emails can bring people together, for instance when someone passes away, the internet can be a "healing brace". The Internet can allow people to post messages for ones they have lost. Which I think is most important for the internet to provide a source of communication. But Perhaps the internet need to think of some ways to tighten up privacy security.
A New Weapon Against Nukes
TO LISTEN
I found this Podcast Interesting because Nukes scare the crap out of me. Thank god for social media sites such as Twitter that just may save our life, also the technology upgrades of smartphones. Rose Gottemoeller the secretary of state for arms control is looking for new ways for forces to use social media communications for Nuclear weaponry intel. The problem may be how private will this technology be considering the fact it may be carrying the most top secret and important information our country possesses, information to our Nuclear physicality. I know....scary isnt it?

TO LISTEN
This Screamed "Justice" to me, like many students, we are all concerned about the cost of tuition increasing.

Apparently this wasn't the first time a purposal such as this came up, but politicians have done nothing about it since the 1950's.
