One of the podcasts I listen to is NPR's Planet Money. It's an economics-for-dummies podcast that I listen to for pleasure . . . ah, the life of a dweeby history teacher! Anyway, the podcast for last Friday (show #203) was all about Net Neutrality. We're going to be talking about NN a bit this year, but we'll mostly deal with the ethics and technological side of it. Planet Money talks about how it will impact people's lives. It's pretty short - thirteen minutes and change and you can find the archive on NPR and also on iTunes. They open the discussion up on their blog at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/storyComments.php?storyId=129179471&pageNum=1&pPageNum=1. I'm not adding another resource for you to consult, but this is perfectly appropriate. Don't feel the need to chime in on this one yet until we all get up to speed on Net Neutrality & related topics.
Oh, BTW, welcome to Blaire, Shruthi, Dillon and Margery. I think the class is up to ten now - very solid.

Oooooo, this is going to be a really tough topic for me. I hear the phrase "Net Neutrality" and my blood pressure about shoots through the roof. I guess it's typical for an internet dweller to feel this way >_>
