Google Docs Exercise for November 13

This class focused on two significant readings.

Garry led us through the Marlboro Man. This paper set technology within a postmodern deconstruction of an advertising icon of a generation ago. The paper ties contemporary trends to past practices and revisits the past through the eyes provided by contemporary internet technologies

Karen presented Solove's "I've nothing to hide." The author argues that privacy is an important issue that cannot be dismissed by "I've got nothing to hide." Indeed, the "nothing to hide" argument is a red herring.
