Hi Mike,

A few more off the top of my head.

* Adding to the privacy strand – this has a time element too. Anything one does or says online could potentially be saved forever (even if it wasn’t you that put it up there). This could cause lots of problems for people who had fiery childhoods for example. It’ll be interesting to see how politicians start to react to the media having much more direct access to their back-dated private life.

* Some interesting stuff in the news today about embarrasing videos taken of teachers to be taken off Youtube, definitely a topical and pertinent issue.

* I think the identity theft issue is a big one too – as our online identity becomes more important and gives us access to more and more services, all that seems to stand between someone else and my identity is in some cases the password to an email account.

I’ll be interested in coming to this, will look out for the date.

The Kaiser Chiefs described it well: We are the angry mob We read the papers everyday day We like who like We hate who we hate But we´re also easily swayed Nice. You could also question
