      We live in a time of unprecedented technological innovation. The Internet's world wide web gives billions of people access to instant information and entertainment. Every teacher and student would be lost without access to YouTube and Google searches.

      However, we all know that we live in an Age of Technological Terrorism. Conspiracy theories, false information in the form of Fake News, political propaganda, pornography and so much other "dark" content on the Internet puts us all at risk.

      In UNIT 4 we will pay close attention to Media bias and false information transmitted on the Internet. We will also learn about podcasting - a positive way to share our personal interests with anyone who has access to the world wide web.
