Just a quick note to all you “Debaters” out there… As one of your esteemed judges, I just want to make myself known to you and to assure you all that no matter how much you may try to influence my vote with gifts or favors (hint, hint), I will keep an open mind and judge your arguments on their merits alone. (In case you’re wondering, I generally sit over by the projection screen and my back- pack will be left conspicuously open to catch anything that might accidentally fall.)

i thoroughly enjoyed todays class. all the "tech talk" and revolution of google applications and walmart product tracking was really interesting. i really like technology and seeing the "new thing" always gets me excited. but i also value my privacy. and it seems the more google and facebook and walmart and gps tech thrive, the less privacy we get. a very awkward compromise if you ask me.
