In the dispute about Using EVM's to vote or paper ballets, I feel with the world changing to so much electronic based technology, EVM's are a good choice to change over to. In the letter "Everyone should be able to vote" there is a good argument about the ease of use on these machines. How it states that " EVM's can provide ballots in many different languages." This is good feature to have with our ever changing culture. "The machines have audio and voice systems for people with…

The earpiece in Sonea's ear crackled, as if the transmission wasn't quite getting through. She gave it a tap and heard 'Bogeyman's' voice. "Raven, you've got someone coming your way. Grab the doll and let's get out of here." The question was, could it be that easy? What kind of security might the doll have.

Yashasvi Sharma Tyson English 11 25 May, 2015 The Things I Carry Who is Yashasvi Sharma? He always wore his watch- a ragged Casio Wave Ceptor. The one his father had bought him in the 5th grade after coming in the top of his class. It was an ugly watch, with its green phosphorus screen, and shiny black and silver plastic bordering, but it worked. It always told the time. Time. What is time? What does it matter in his eyes.

Matthew, I am curious to know if actually, we did not hear about the stolen identity as much because we did not have social media back then or if we did not have it. I completely agree with you that this generation is desensitized to the privacy of the digital world and the ramifications that could happen. However, I am not entirely sold on the idea of the RFID or the facial recognition idea even though they do have some good component to them as well. I know several people that have their…
