A creditable New York City professor has invented and is promoting the first 'Freedom Box'. The 'Freedom Box' was created to block out the government and big companies to know what we click on every time we serf the web. As of right now Eben Moglen's target audience is geared towards people of political power. Moglen says :
“What has happened in Egypt is enormously inspiring, but the Egyptian state was late to the attempt to control the Net and not ready to be as remorseless as it could have been.”
As of right now the only that he has is the idea, and is seeking a group of engineers to help produce and manufacture the freedom box. Their has been no mention of a release date.
Although most of us ado feel that the government has access to our personal lives, I do not agree with this creation. If the Internet was not taken advantage of and the world we lived in was all rainbows and sparkles then I would agree with Freedom Box, you can youtube how to make a bomb and you get step by step instructions. I'm not saying that everyone is bad and is out to bomb something or someone but I think the Freedom Box will work against making our country a more safe place.
