Reading for Week 2

Information is always a mouse click away on the internet. Apparently the information search engines are ruled by the telecommunications industry. The articles talk about how search engines will have to start paying to get the number one spot. To me that makes perfect sense, nowadays you do not get anywhere without a price.

Also from week two readings I learned that information on me can easily be found in places that I never knew even existed. It was also interesting to find out the new way to get evidence for criminal cases. Evidence has been found to be quite useful in the form of search engine results that one types. Is this an invasion of privacy to go this far as to dig into their computer? Well if they committed a crime I believe everything is “fair game” when it comes to getting evidence. However I do think privacy is a key issue here. The government needs to reassess and see if new laws need to be put in place to protect people.
