every professor to understand the nuances of

response devices, PowerPoint lectures or even
God help you if this is true Internet browsers.

The Wall Street Journal's "numbers guy," Carl

possibly
sustain.

million exposed to risk of ID fraud in the UK
A massive security breach involving the personal
information of "virtually every child in Britain"
has occurred in the United Kingdom. This is a
clear illustration of risky it would be to have a
national database of children's personal
information in the US, which is what would be
required in order to establish children's age verification online.

not just a choice but an adventure
Over the past several years I've been playing

and how it can be used. It wasn't until recently
that I felt comfortable telling my non-techie friends to jump in.

Teaching Intelligent Design vs Evolution in the
classroom. Is intelligent design religion or
science? The appearance of the Flying Spaghetti
Monster on the agenda of the American Academy of
Religion's annual meeting gives a kind of
scholarly imprimatur to a phenomenon that first
emerged in 2005, during the debate in Kansas over
whether intelligent design should be taught in public school sciences classes.

BROTHER, BIG BUSINESS and Cell Phone Secrets
Award-winning correspondent, David Faber examines
the rapid advance of technology which allows
companies to monitor our every move and record
our most private personal information. Driving
habits are being recorded; employees are
monitored; shoppers and diners are observed and
analyzed; internet searches are saved and used as
evidence in court. It is big business that
collects most of the data about us. But
increasingly, it is the government that?s using
it. The documentary takes viewers inside the FBI,
the Border Patrol, police departments and schools
to see how they are using biometric technologies
to establish identity. There is also a rare look
inside a little-known division of AOL that works
solely with law enforcement requests for
information about AOL?s members.Faber also
examines some of the downsides of the new
surveillance society: a man whose cell phone
records were stolen by his former employer; a
women who lost her job due to mistaken identity;
a man who discovered his rental car company was
tracking his every move.BIG BROTHER, BIG BUSINESS
takes an enlightening and sometimes disturbing
look at how the growth of the information society
may be eroding the freedoms many people take for granted.
