The overall pieces of the Total Information (later Terrorist Information) created by the US Department of Defense. The program itself focused in the areas of Data Mining, a way in which to decipher data and pluck/pull out data of interest that could be flagged for dangerous use. A massive piece of this TIA program was the extreme interest in Predictive Policing, a way to stop terrorist acts and attacks. The TIA (Total Information Awareness program) was called and considered the "Manhattan Project for counter-terrorism services"

All in all, I enjoyed the presentation pieces of this course. In the second and final EOTO presentation of the semester. For todays reaction post, I am reacting to Tyler B's Total Information Awareness. It was a program that was created by the DOD, or Department of Defense. Originally created in 2003, the program lasted less than a year due to privacy concerns and their program funding was cut. The government also looked at discrimination, especially against the Arab community. As a society, one that typically tries to use their voice, if this was to happen today, I personally believe that there would be multiple large protests and this program would last less time than what it did back in 2003, which was a total of about three months.
