Here are two links that EVERYONE in class should read, even if you're not writing about the privacy issue.
The first is to a New York Times article describing the questions about technology and privacy that have been provoked by a new novel written by Dave Eggers, called The Circle. (Dave Eggers also wrote Zeitoun, the One School One Book choice three years ago.) The Circle is about a suspiciously Google-like company that monitors the online activities of its billion users.
The second is to an opinion article written by Joe Nocera about Orwell's 1984 and The Circle.
Read and be a part of the conversation!
