Privacy Scavenger  Hunt 

Domestic Violence and Privacy

domestic violence victims often have much of their personal information -- including their 

relationship history -- in government records. Turning to government aid agencies, litigating 

custody, divorces and protection orders creates a trail of their private lives in government 

records. They ask to keep there personal lie in private and not have the government take in 

record what they do every sec of the their lives. I can go both ways in this issue, do to the fact 

that they have lost there trust in the government do to whatever they did but at the same time

everybody needs privacy.

Privacy and the 2008 Olympic Summer Games

During the Olympic games China hotels had set up  spying camera around the hotels. Do to the

 fact that's is legal in the country they ask for Americans to lower there standers about there 

privacy policy. Even though its a different, that's a terrible rule to have. 

The Right to Financial Privacy Act

 "John Doe" summonses to obtain records of credit card transactions. The IRS, attempting to

 track down tax evaders' hidden assets offshore, went to court seeking access to credit card 

records held by more than 40 hotels, airlines and car-rental companies.

Social Media - any online tool or application that goes beyond simply providing information, instead allowing collaboration, interaction, and sharing. Examples of social media include: blogs; microblogs; wikis; photo and video sharing; podcasts; virtual worlds; social networking; social news and bookmarking; web conferencing and webcasting.
We have two team members in our group.
Samuel is in charge in researching and Alicia will be stetting up and working on the presentation.  
For example:

EPA’s policy to use social media where appropriate in order to meet its mission of protecting human health and the environment. Agency product review processes in place for regional and program offices apply to EPA’s use of social media.

An Augmented-Reality Climbing Wall That Guides Your Ascent

" Using interactive 3D models of boulders and climbing routes, building topographical maps using photo-processing software.“The only gear really needed to go bouldering is boulders (or a climbing wall).Bouldering, as you might guess, can be done outdoors on actual boulders, but it’s commonly practiced in climbing gyms where climbers scramble from hold to hold above a padded landing area without a safety rope. "




Incredible Close-Up Drone Video of an Erupting Volcano in Iceland

"Iceland is one of the most volcanically active locations in the world. It’s the only place on the globe where a mid-ocean ridge—the seams in the Earth’s crust that pull apart, bringing molten magma to the surface to produce more crust—rises onto dry land.The trip to the volcano had to happen within a day-long window on Sept. 20 when skies would most likely be clear and winds would be blowing in the right direction to avoid exposure to poisonous gases."

The Life of the Chinese Gold Farmer

"The market for massively multiplayer online role-playing games, known as M.M.O.’s, is a fast-growing one, with no fewer than 80 current titles and many more under development, all targeted at a player population that totals around 30 million worldwide. World of Warcraft, produced in Irvine, Calif., by Blizzard Entertainment, is one of the most profitable computer games in history, earning close to $1 billion a year in monthly subscriptions and other revenue.Players of M.M.O.’s are notoriously obsessive gamers, not infrequently dedicating more time to the make-believe careers of their characters than to their own real jobs. " They use there time and effort to play a video game to make some profit. They see the comparison between America and China, they notice our prices tend to be more higher then there. What they are doing is spending there time playing a game to sell us some sort of product thorough the games. America money counts more in china.
