Lets share, shall we?

psychology, communications, economics, sociology, philosophy, history, political science, journalism, etc.

I was talking to a friend on Google Hangout the other day and it came to my mind the idea that if our conversation was being recorded, it could be used in the future for multiple purposes.

1st purpose could be entertainment. Imagine some kind of reality TV show in the future where "interesting" footage from private online video conferences would be broadcast on TV/internet to entertain people, laugh at others. I'm talking in the future when may be we'll all be dead or old or when people would sign non-disclosure agreements we haven't signed today.

2nd purpose: It could also be used for sociological and psychological research. Imagine all the data gathered from people's most private and personal conversations!

Do you think this is where things are going?

Are we the guinea pigs of the future of our species?

I thought you'd be the right crowd to brainstorm about this.

I'm 34 y/o and considering going back to school for masters and ideally phD. I've been wanting to do this forever but didn't have the money. Now I'm financially healthy enough to take the hit of becoming a full time student again.

Field would be Math/Economics

How can I ensure that apple shipped me what I paid for in terms of processor, RAM and graphic card if I can't open the iMac or Mac Book?

If so,

what do you use them for?

how important are they to you? do you use them for personal as much as for work stuff?

Any mind mapping tools you recommend?
