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?
