Blown to Bits: Ch 2George Orwell's 1984 - correct answer ✔George Orwell's 1984 was
published in 1948. Over the subsequent years, the book became synonymous
with a world of permanent surveillance, a society devoid of both privacy and
freedom:
" there seemed to be no color in anything except the posters that were
plastered everywhere. The black mustachio'd face gazed down from every
commanding corner. There was one on the house front immediately opposite.
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU ..."
Electronic Footprints and Electronic Fingerprints - correct answer ✔In the
digital world, we all leave both electronic footprints and electronic fingerprints
—data trails we leave intentionally, and data trails of which we
are unaware or unconscious
Metadata - correct answer ✔A digital camera was used by a Harry Potter fan
to illegally record and release the text of a Harry Potter book. Digital cameras
encode metadata along with the image. This data, known as the
Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF), includes camera settings (shutter
speed, aperture, compression, make, model, orientation), date and time, and,
in the case of our Harry Potter fan, the make, model, and serial number of his
camera (a Canon Rebel 350D, serial number 560151117). If he registered his
camera, bought it with a credit card, or sent it in for service, his identity could
be known as well.
Global Positioning System (GPS) - correct answer ✔The GPS calculates its
own location from the satellites'
locations and the times their signals are received. The 24 satellites spinning
12,500 miles above the earth enable your car to locate itself within 25 feet, at
a price that makes these systems popular birthday presents.
