MIT 6.805/STS085: Ethics and Law on the Electronic Frontier

Preparation for week of class on October 18
TRAC

This week will we have a guest: David Burnham, director of the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) (see http://trac.syr.edu).

Burham's presentation may help you crystalize your ideas for papers. Whether for papers or not, please look around the TRAC web site in preparation for class. Also read the two articles: one in the New York Times and one in the Washington Post based on data from TRAC.

The only other homework this week is to be thinking about your paper. You may want to read again the information about papers and milestones.
