                        • Use complete sentences, use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. 
                        • Include the proper citation for at least one source.

                        Can we count on cell networks in disasters?


                        Question of the Day:

                        What effects has 9/11 had on our communication infrastructure? Possible a more robust internet?

                        Is the growth of social networks, reaction to 9/11? Or, "The response to a fearful and atomized society?"

                        Privacy. Let's talk about the change in law enforcement from targeted, warrant-based surveillance to drift-net data collection and mining. Can this be unwound, politically or technologically?

                        What are the changes in materials science or engineering?

                        Is there a greater commitment to funding for technology?

                        Given the tech we have now, could it happen again? Will we ever feel safe again? Why or why not?
