I will be discussing The Information Bomb, by Paul Virilio. Here are some things to consider:
Have you ever been in a stituation where strangers are exposed to aspects of your life which would be unavailable to them without ICTs (especially the internet)? How did you feel about the experience? How did you react?
What kinds of interactive marketing techniques have you encountered or heard of? Did any of them infringe on your/other people's privacy? How?
What are some instances in your life where ICTs "trap" you - restrict your activities, burden you with obligations, etc? How can we reduce the drain ICTs have on us?
How does the information age contribute to the tendency of people and corporations to "snoop"? Is the freedom to access so much information about individuals and corporations dangerous? What are some threats posed by this accessibility?
