Meetings and privacy

James, don´t worry about this morning, it went fine. Although I think we should all come to the meeting whether you are really well prepared (like Becky with the laptop) or less prepared. Your peer assessment will be just lower :P, just kidding. I think it is alright if you are unprepared once and in addition you could contribute really well to the discussions we have during our meetings. Our meetings do not only consist of typing what we read in the book but also discussing what we think with a smaller group than the entire class.

The funny thing however is that we talked about exactly the same thing during the meeting. How dangerous it could be when we use our credit card online and manage our finances online. In the Netherlands it seems more secure. When you do pay online or manage your account you need to put your debit card (we hardly use credit cards) in an e-identifier machine and you have to type in your pin number. In addition you have to fill in a number from your log in screen and then you get a response that you use to log in. It seems much work, but it takes actually only 5 seconds and it seems much saver than just needing the info on your credit card.

A short comment on the class of Thursday: I think it was good class. My opinion about ethics is that we can say or post pictures about whatever we want on our own blog. If you work in groups your group mates will correct you and otherwise people will not read your blog. If you comment on other people's blog it is a little different. Just like most, I think that we should respect each other and only comment on the arguments and not the person. However, I think that there will not be any problems in this class.
