Free Speech

This semester has really proved to me that free speech is a magnificent power and should be used by all to change the world. It seems that free speech is all around us and if we just open our eyes we can see how different people are trying to tell us something. I started this class thinking that speaking and voicing our opinions was a main type of free speech, but now I realize that blogging and writing can be just as effective. Also, for me it seems that blogging is more effective because of the shy personality that I have. Blogging allows me to share my thoughts and concerns with the world and not fear public speaking. This is a practice that I hope to continue after this class.

Privacy Concerns

My group project has really got me thinking, so I wanted to share. We are doing a presentation on wiretapping and it made me think about how I think about my privacy. I am a pretty private person, and as I learned about how easy it is for people to ease drop and wiretap, I began to get nervous. Has anyone ever experienced a negative or positive example of wiretapping or ease dropping?
