Reading for next week

Hi everyone. Please keep an eye out for the articles posted by next week's presenters, and don't forget to comment (each student is required to comment at least twice each week). Your comment should identify what issues or debates arise from the article, and it should let us know which side of the issue you're on.

Also, for next week I'd like you to read the introduction to the book The Future of Reputation by Daniel Solove. I mentioned this to you before; the introduction talks about a woman whose dog pooped on the subway and who was made infamous on the internet because of the incident. The author makes a lot of interesting points about how the internet is changing our ideas about privacy and about reputation. The entire book can be found online here. You'll see links for each chapter; you just have to read the introduction (chapter one). We are going to do an in-class summary exercise involving this text, so make sure you read it carefully.
