Shutting off the internet.

A recent example of an old woman accidently hitting a cable and "shutting off" the internet demonstrates how it is possible to shut off the Internet for some countries and why the redundancies can make it much more difficult to make any "kill switch"

Why the US government plans to fine poor hospitals

http://www.guardian.co.uk/healthcare-network/2011/apr/05/us-government-plans-fine-poor-hospitals?INTCMP=SRCH

Tied into our reading for this week about e-health service, US government is highly promoting the use of e-health service by penalizing hospitals that readmit patients abundantly. Sooner or later, I feel that even dying patient will need to register and consult through online first, before they could have an actual consultation with a physician.

Syria tests internet freedom theory

http://www.cnn.com/2011/TECH/innovation/03/30/syria.internet.revolution/index.html?hpt=C1

As today's headline on CNN.com, I found this article analogous to the political issues that we have discussed about in class. (China and Egypt) Interesting point that was made by the author is that the technology (internet in this case) could provide both opportunities for freedom and repression for the people in Syria.
