Week 14 Blog
Being born with such a unique name has made it very easy to find myself online. I have
Googled my name many times over the years but up until last year most the results were directly
about my life. Now with the fame of the singer Billie Eilish some results of her show up as well.
The first results when Googling “Eilish Armitage” is my Instagram account which is
on private, Facebook post about me from the HPU club swim team,and then many swim
meet results from my years of competitive swimming. From these sites you can find out
more details about my life than I had hoped was not possible. On Facebook it says where I
am from and a profile picture of me. Through the HPU club swim team post it tells
everyone where I go to school, my major, and my extracurricular activities. If you
search further than the first few results you will find a website that has my address and
list of my family members. This truly freaked me out knowing how easily anyone can
find where I live. As the years go on there will be more and more information about me
online as well as everyone else. Our world we live in is online, we fill in all the
information about ourselves for anyone to find. Soon there will be no such thing as
private information. I believe if we keep living our lives on social media it will turn
into living for our social media, which is a lonely path to take. We focus so much on
posting that we are happy and having a good time that we are not actually doing so.
People will be more lonely and depressed than ever if we continue down the path we
are on now.

Though Hulu has tried to compete Netflix has always won out with more popular content, original shows, and no commercials. Though soon with the launch of Disney+, Netflix might be defeated. As everyone knows, Disney is one of the biggest corporations,owning companies like ABC, Marvel, and Pixar. This will give them a pre existing fan base from their content from Disney Channel originals, ESPN specials, Marvel series, and so much more. Classics like High School Musical and Star Wars will be available. Not only will Disney+ have fan favorite films but the price of subscriptions will be cheaper. Disney has also become the owner of Hulu which already contains a large amount of content and subscriptions, Disney+ offers bundle packages that will include Hulu and ESPN. In addition

Total Information Awareness Week 13 Blog Total Information Awareness also known as Terrorism Information Awareness, was a mass surveillance program created in January 2003. It was managed by the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ). It consisted of a massive counter-terrorism database with advanced methods for data collection, processing and analysis. The way it worked to gather information caught the attention of privacy rights organisations. This included American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) who was concerned about it gathering personal information. Congressional Negotiators decided to end the program in September 2003. Though it is of extreme importance to protect the country from terrorism but as citizens some feel their rights to privacy are violated from these programs. As a country, we must weigh the importance of both sides, see the good and bad of both. No one wants to have a terrorist attack, but will they be willing to give up their priva
