 * 1)  Thomas Jefferson once said, //"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it." //<span style="color: rgb(34, 2, 2);">Do you agree or disagree with him? Why or why not?
 * 2) In __1984,__ by George O, there is a "utopian" society where there is no privacy. He wrote, <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">"**//<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized." //** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Imagine living in this society and how it would effect you.
 * 3) An RFID tag is an object that can be applied to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and tracking using radio waves.

 * 4) What role do you feel "Big Brother" plays in your life? How much worse do you think the situation is now then when it was 25 years ago?
