Course Description

THE HIGH-TECH INVASION OF PRIVACY
Nancy McDonald
6-Week Course
Thursdays, June 3-July 15, 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
Internet-connected devices are becoming pervasive in homes: from smart TVs to robotic floor cleaners to programmable thermostats. Digital assistants, such as Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri, are continuously listening, waiting for that “wake word” to spring into action. Ubiquitous security cameras don’t just capture videos but use facial recognition to tag individuals. Databases of DNA that trace your ancestry may also reveal intimate family and personal health secrets. The benefits of technology are often emphasized without recognizing the privacy concerns.
