Wow & Wonder # 1

This week, the article that caught my eye, was the Networked society. One of the points made in this article that stood out to me was the mention of 23andMe. I have always been curious to use it to find out more about my ancestry, however I have been skeptical considering that my DNA would be put in a database that could be accessed by unknown people. After reading the article this had made me aware of how this could affect the privacy of not only myself, but my entire family and even future family.

From that same point I wonder what the company’s responsibility is to the client in order to protect their privacy. Also how can they protect the information from potential hackers?
