3. How does the speaker change Andy Warhol’s theory?

4. Who was Jorge Luis Borges?

Discussion time: 7 min per round

So we are dividing the group in 6. Every group has its own discussion point. Please talk (IN ENGLISH) about this topic for 7 minutes. I will come by listening to what you are saying. 

The discussion points

1.  How large is your electronic tattoo? What information and where do you share with the world?

2. How can Juan Enriquez’s pieces of advice help us?

-be careful what you post because it influences your reputation

-don’t look too far in the past of those you love

-think twice before posting anything

-don’t fall in love with your own image

3. How do you understand Warhol’s words: “In the future, everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes”?

 Is this good or bad for us?

4. Do you think people are not anonymous online? How can we be anonymous on the Internet?

5. What kind of data should people want to keep private?

6. What problems can come from being immortal online?
