Hi, my name is Nick Cornell. I created this blog for class
called Living in a Networked World, which explores the different risks, privileges,
powers and horrors of how far technology has come. I have enjoyed this course
so far as I appreciate all the ways that technology has impacted my life;
however, do not think about many of the different privacy and risk topics
discussed in class. So far, I thought the most interesting thing we’ve seen was
the discussion on “Re-Captchas” which put two words together to help the
computer distinguish words it cannot read. It does this by having two words,
one that the computer already knows and one it does not. If you get the one
word correct that it knows, it will store the information of the other one
until around six people get it correct. From there, the computer will be able
to read this word all thanks to people who are just trying to log onto
something such as email, Facebook, etc.
