Social media presenceDo you have a _______ account?

◦ Yes.◦ No.



“Our unity as a nation is sustained by free communication of thought and by easy

transportation of people and goods. The ceaseless flow of information throughout the Republic is matched by individual and commercial movement over a vast system of interconnected highways crisscrossing the country and joining at our national borders with friendly neighbors to the

north and south.

- President Eisenhower, 1955

A Word of Caution DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES HAVE A DARK SIDE TOO


Slacktivism “Slacktivists don’t have to spend a

Saturday doing hard labor to build a home or sacrifice a portion of their monthly

entertainment budget to a cause. They don’t even have to move from behind the

screens of their electronic devices.” - Laura Seay,

Washington Post, March 12, 2014


Social Media Costs Lives


Cyber-Surveillance “In Syria, ‘Facebook is a great database for the government now,’ said Ahed al-Hindi, a Syrian activist who was arrested at

an Internet cafe in Damascus in 2006 and left his country after being released from jail. Mr. Hindi, now with the United States-based group CyberDissidents.org, said he believes that

Facebook is doing more good than harm, helping activists form virtual organizations that could never survive if they

met face to face.” - Scott Shane

New York Times, January 29, 2011

Snooping on a large scale

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/14/nsa-utah-data-facility

"What's slow to dawn on people is that this level of

surveillance is technologically and

economically within our grasp.“

-Brewster Kahle
