★ surveillance model versus capture model

surveillance model: is built upon visual metaphors and derives from historical experiences of secret police surveillance

capture model: is built upon linguistic metaphors and takes as its prototype the deliberate reorganization of industrial work activities to allow computers to track them [the work activities] in real time
Agre, p. 740

Does the U.S. Bill of Rights define an individual’s “right to privacy”?
Not explicitly, but...
inferrably: e.g., Amendment IV: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
implicitly: e.g., Amendment IX: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

My Opinion :)

This Week, We talk about Public & Privacy.

First, I think Privacy is very important thing for every person.
And Everybody think, too.

Actually, I know cookies.
When I was a middle school student, I studied about computer.
I studied about cookies & CPU & RAM & etc at that time.
So I remember cookies that used in internet.

I want to remember many things that I studied at middle school student.
But It is not easy….

We leave last topic ‘authorship & ownership’.
I’m studying hard at last!
See you Next week~
