Hey Guys - My section has been updated (Can be seen on the left - Facebook Link). - Urooj
= Monday MEETING* : 10am -12pm in CCIT (Tables in front of CCT cafe) = =Tuesday: 8 a.m (right before class, to set up + go through everything once)= [] =CCT310_The New Panopticon Group Page=
 * find stats, did you know feature.

=**Group Presentation Outline:** = - //Everybody wear black// - Start with song - [] (show this video - start at 1:38) - Introduce group members.

1) **Panopticon** - outline old and new panopticon - **KYLA**

2) **Facebook - UROOJ** [] (start clip at 3:45) == ==  **Questions:**  - Has there been a time where your privacy was violated on Facebook?  - Do you think that Facebook has the right take and use your personal information? Is the tradeoff worth it?


 * 3)** **GOOGLE** - taking control - Gmail, Maps, search engine - **WERDAH & RAHEEM**

G-mail > Google Mail also known as ‘Gmail’ is a free, e-mail service that combines the best features of traditional email with Google's search technology. > > > >
 * So this is what i plan on saying exactly, i'll chop it into bullets soon.**
 * ** · What is G-mail? **
 * **Just to quickly mention some of its features, G-mail’s latest features include Google Talk which enables users to video chat, voice chat and instantly message other users. **
 * 1) **Spam Filtering and Virus Protection are also one of G-mail’s key features guaranteeing users they won’t receive an e-mail saying, some died and left you a million dollars, please send us your banking information! **
 * 1) **Gmail includes over 5 GB of storage space -- **
 * 1) **Gmail makes locating messages so easy that you'll never need to shuffle mail in your inbox again. **

All of these services are for FREE. And we all know when we hear that word, its too good to be true. > What users don’t know is that when you agree to G-mail’s Privacy Policy, you agree to the collection and use of your personal information. G-mail is sponsored by Adsense—a system that allows you to earn money from the web. It places “relative” ads that you can place on your blog, search engine or website. However, the “relativity” of these ads is questionable since just the other day Kyla was e-mailing her friend about how she would like to get a tan, and the panel bar displayed a great tanning salon with cheap prices on the side. ( a print shot of this would be great )---since I don’t use g-mail. Here is another example of an ad that was targeted to a user who was looking to advertise his business. [] AdSense places ads on the side panel of your window. A computer, not a human matches the keywords inside your e-mail with an ad. This is a problem because G-mail invades your privacy to serve you advertisements as you read e-mails.
 * ** · The Trick **

So just out of Curiosity…Question: How many of you would be okay having your incoming e-mails scanned for keywords in order to target certain ads to your subjects of interest? Ads that want to make money off of you, make you consume products that you might not have otherwise? = = =Stats: According to Recent Statistics, **if you’re a Gmail user, is that you may be part of the elite: ** while Yahoo and Hotmail users are decidedly average, Gmail users tend to be young, have a high income, and be early adopters of technology. 54% of users are between 18 and 34, while 18% have an average annual household income between $100,000 and $149,999 (compared to 15% for Hotmail and 13% for Yahoo Mail). Another stat, probably related to the young age of GMail users: they’re more likely to be [|Facebook]   users than those on the other services. = Some pictures i'd like in the presi <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">[] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">[]- ad targetting <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">[] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">[] --- THIS ONE IS PERFECT <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">[] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">[] <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Calibri,sans-serif;">[]

 * 4) Peer-to-Peer - LILLIAN**
 * Question:**

- Do you even care that because of the internet, it is now so incredibly easy to hack into people's personal information? Have we been desensitized?


 * 5) Video Surveillance: Privacy Issues - HAYLEY**

<span style="background-position: 100% 50%; cursor: pointer; display: block; font-weight: normal; padding-right: 10px;">[] - UTM stolen laptop - G20
 * Questions for class:**

- What are your thoughts regarding video surveillance in UTM?

- UTM "Crime Stoppers": Should UTM have posted a picture of the laptop thief in library? What about on the world wide **web?**

Welcome all!

I'm just going to take advantage of this medium and remind you of the upcoming ECC election taking place on Thursday, October 7th, 2010.

I have decided to run this year, so consider this a plug for my candidacy. Regardless of how you vote, I do encourage you all to log on to the ECC website and cast a ballot. Student government is important and you should all have a say in who represents your interests.

Thanks for taking the time to read :)
