An US professor (Wafaa Bilal) from New York Tischa university had a little camera transplanted in the back of his head. It is a part of his project The 3rd I, for which he goes on with his regular life for a year, and the camera records short clips with 1-minute intervals.
Now, there rises a little question about privacy. Since he's gonna publish his videos in his art exhibition, there's the question of who's gonna be left on those vids and how? Ofcourse, it's common sense that those vids are pre-sorted, but who knows... Would you want to be publically exhibitioned doing something you don't want others to do? (like flip off the professor :p)
In other news, a school in US, California named Woodland Hills got renamed after the California governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold's wife broughed it out quite humorously, by saying that it took half a year for her to learn how to write Arnold's name, but those students will know it by heart.
This school was renamed because Mr. Schwarz took the local education to heart and helped it. Well, to come to think about it, those kids can be real proud that they've studied in a chool named by a really famous person. But I feel sorry for those first-graders who have to learn to write the school's name by heart.
This whole thing could also be called by one word: Advertisement.
Politicians are cunning and (usually) smart people. They take every oppurtunity to get as much of positive advertisement for themselves as possible. And that's quite the advertisement, if you ask me. But think what would happened, if Schwarz messed up bad... seriously bad. Would the school change its name back? Who knows.. Anyways, I hope that those kids will be proud of their school.
