Main Idea:
The unfathomable amount of data, stored in the form of the
bit, can be used in remarkable ways to change the world, whether for better or
for worse.
Questions:
1. Name 3 things that can be made of bits. Ex: Photographs
2. If bits, like ideas, are non-exclusive, and non-rivalrous,
then ideas can be taken from one person and applied by another. Draw a
conclusion on how this could be a good thing, and how it could be a bad thing.
3. If 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits was the
amount of data stored in 2007 then more data is probably being stored today. This
includes everything on the internet from emails to bank transactions. Should the
government have access to all this information or should there be restrictions
in place? Justify your answer.
4.Determine whether this rapid change in
technology is a good or bad thing. Do the pros outweigh the cons, or is it the
other way around?
