-------- Original Message -------- Subject: new GIS video from Penn State Public Broadcasting Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2011 15:55:53 -0500 From: Laura Miller <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Dear Listserv owner, I am writing to ask of you would post an *announcement to your members* regarding our online video release of a free public television resource: The Geospatial Revolution Project. Instructors are invited to use these open source videos available online at http://geospatialrevolution.psu.edu/episode3/. This third installment of a four-part series, produced by *Penn State Public Broadcasting*, deals with the technology in relation to privacy and how geospatial information affects law enforcement, war and diplomacy. It is ideal for a range of classroom discussions around social change, ethics, diplomacy, privacy, and the social and economic impact on the ability to precisely map the terrain. Jeff Jonas, member of the board of the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation, sums up the thoughts in the video, “A surveillance society is not only inevitable and irreversible, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s irresistible -- and it’s not government doing it to us, it’s us doing it to ourselves...and the question is: how do people feel about that?” We’re very proud of the efforts on this project and have been getting a lot of positive exposure in the GIS community for its quality and content. If you have questions about the project, please feel free to contact me at 814-865-5954 or [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>.__ Press release: http://live.psu.edu/story/51699#nw1 Web Site: _http://geospatialrevolution.psu.edu/episode3/ _ Sincerely yours, Laura L Miller, Marketing Manager Penn State Outreach Marketing The 329 Building, Suite 408 University Park PA 16802 FAX: 814-865-3343
