May Week Five


 May Week Five:

This week we talked about privacy, especially in its relationship with technology and the price we must pay for "free" services.

Listening:
Learners can try an easy activity about safety online
or a listening exercise from VOA about Facebook's privacy.

For original version, I recommend listening to the podcast series, The Privacy Paradox, a 5 day plan to control your privacy:
  • Day 1
    What Your Phone Knows
    Let's get metadata...what your smartphone is tracking and why it matters.


  • Day 2
    The Search for Your Identity
    How algorithms see us, sell us, and then sell TO us.


  • Day 3
    Something to Hide
    Reclaiming your private parts...and why Google needed an in-house philosopher.


  • Day 4
    Fifteen Minutes of Anonymity
    The digital gaze, our psyche, and what happens when we know we're being watched.


  • Day 5
    Your Personal Terms of Service
    Defining your acceptable conditions for living the good life online.


Reading:
Learners can try an article about The Internet of Things. How do you think some of these new technological advances can impact our privacy?

For original version go ahead and check out some of the articles over at The Guardian that talk about current issues in privacy.

Writing
Please write an essay responding the following question:

Should the government be allowed to monitor phone calls, emails, and Internet searches for the purpose of learning about terrorist organizations and plans?
Best,
Kelly
