Questions to Ponder about New Media and Privacy

Social Networking is a great way to keep up with others. However it contributes to huge collections of personal info and images. Here are some questions to ponder.


Is this aggregation of personal information a bad thing, or a good thing?
Is it dangerous or freeing?
What responsibility do users of social networking sites have in posting about themselves and others?
What responsibility do social networking sites themselves have to make privacy controls easy to find and use?
Is society's notion of public and private changing as a result of social networking?

  1. Good thinking, Allison. Start searching out artists who are working in these ares -- addressing some of these question. A very interesting topic indeed. -jen
