Don't forget your usual blog post - one for Rich's discussion from last week, and one for my discussion this week.
Monday, we'll meet in the Computer Lab in Columbia. We'll talk about your final project ideas with each of you individually. You'll also do some research and prepare for a thrilling discussion on Wednesday.

Homework
Don't forget your weekly posting! It needs to relate to what we talked about this week. Due early next week!
Also, start thinking about a topic for your final project. Remember, it can be on anything related to what we've talked about in class, and it can be in a variety of formats - research paper, presentation, multi-media presentation, etc. You choose, but we need to stay ahead of the game and start thinking about it at this point.
Ask if you have questions!

On Friday, we'll have our class discussion on the following topics. If you've missed class, see the previous blog post on what you'll need to do to catch up.
Group 1: Wireless communications and government surveillance
Group 2: Data collection companies like Acxiom, Choicepoint, and any other similar companies. Look at their websites; the services they offer. Try to find research about information sharing between these companies and the government.
Group 3: We've talked about the negative consequences of data mining. Try to find arguments in defense of data mining - commercial data mining, government data mining, and/or the interaction between the two.
