Try as we might – we are all connected… We tweet, we Facebook, we Foursquare and we blog – and along the way we leave a trail to everything we think, feel and everywhere we go… But there are other applications we are unaware of doing the same things. A few weeks back, congress convened a panel to look at the hidden trackers that follow and store our movements without our even knowing about it. And what about the promise of these devices and applications giving us more time and freedom? What is the future of these programs, products and services? Our panel will discuss our ever evolving online existence, and how our handy little cell phones, tablets and PDA’s are changing our world.
