'The way in which Facebook is contemptuous of the private lives of its members and of all Internet users demands action,” said Willem Debeuckelaere, president of Belgium’s Privacy Commission.

Belgium’s privacy watchdog sharply criticized Facebook, saying the social network company treated the personal data of its users “with contempt” and had failed to cooperate with regulators investigating its privacy controls.
In preliminary recommendations published Friday, the president of Belgium’s Privacy Commission warned it was “make or break” time for Facebook to respect the private lives of Internet users.

Web 2.0, Do Now: May 11

     If I had an invisible cloak I would do many things. First I would help clean up the streets. I would also help people cross the street. Also, I would help Miss Puff's snail out of a tree. I would help Patrick from the mime that he is really afraid of. All of these people are my closest friends. 
     If I was invisible I would help people with robberies and stuff like that. I would also help old people with things they can't do like cross the street and carry their groceries. The name I would go by is Katie Girl!

Emergency Medical Training

     If the American Heart Association had its way, every high school student would undergo mandatory CPR and automated defibrillator training at school to help prevent one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. sudden heart failure. Many states have enacted laws encouraging CPR training in schools, which, if implemented, would add millions of trained people to respond in time-sensitive emergency situations. Like when people stop breathing, for example.
     This class would meet everyday for half a period of the lunch. The students would learn CPR and how to use an automated defibrillator. To show that the students are learning they would have tests with dummies and that would test everything they have learned.

Also, I wanted to learn how history has influenced the world today. So far i have learned about the Renaissance and other important things leading up to the World War 1. Mr. Minnocci is a really great teacher and his grading policy is like other teachers. technology is used in his class by him showing us videos on his iPad on a projector!

Wear A Heart (Monitor) on Your Sleeve

     This Valentine's Day forget about the roses and chocolate for something that is a more personal token to your love. By combining a cardiac monitor with LEDs, you can flash a symbol of affection with each heartbeat. 
    To contract the heart muscles and pump blood, waves of electricity spread through the organs. Two electrodes on the chest, one on each side of the heart, can pick up these electrical feelings. Heart rate monitors usually feed this information to a screen that shows a signal like an EKG. Now, you can send it to a heart-shaped LED display that will pulse along with every beat.

Educational Technology and Copyright Law

In this article I learned that copyright is the "work of authorship". That is the United States federal law that protects original writing of someone. Also, i learned that everything is copyrighted as soon as you write it. You do not need to fill out any paperwork or anything. As soon as you copyright the thing you drew or wrote you have these 4 rights:

  1. Reproduce your copyright work
  2. Display your copyright work publicly
  3. Prepare derivative works based on the copyrighted work
  4. Distribute copies of copyright work to the public by sale
