Class on September 22

Thursday's class brought up an intense discussion about TLO and whether government should place restrictions on personal searches of persons in the United States. I think that it should be restricted to law enforcement, but could be extended to companies and business owners/managers. For this reason, you could be searched for and all of your information would come up at once. It would be so simple! I trust that if put in the right hands, people would not take advantage of the system.

Also, I think that the site should limit personal information, for instance, not showing your cell phone calls, text messages, e-mails, etc.

Our other discussion on Yahoo and AOL made me realize that they truly are the walking dead of the internet. I used to have AOL dial-up and now with new technologies like cable and DSL, everyone switched to a different provider. And I'll admit, I only use Google! AOL and Yahoo have to spend a lot of money to keep pace but they simply lack the profits to grow bigger than their competition. I think they should just give up or unite and implement a new business strategy.
