Respond to the following in a substantive post (3–4 paragraphs):
Early one morning at work, CEO Alice Johnson asks if you have a moment to chat. In her office, Alice explains that CyberTech is serving as the cyber forensics consultant for a law firm handling the suit from a 2015 hack of the Office of Personnel Management, OPM. The OPM hack compromised background information on millions of workers. In a related case Anomalous, a non-US gray hat hacking group suspected in the OPM breach case, is claiming that US-based Equation Set attempted to hack its facilities. So we have a non-US and a US set of test hacker groups involved. With Anomalous, the non-US group, being a client plaintiff in one case against Equation Set, the US group, and as a suspect in the OPM breach. But Alice then outlines why the case is problematic. Along with the OPM victims, CyberTech represents clients from some of the OPM breach suspect companies in unrelated cases, which could appear to be a conflict of interest. This could affect the way our company is perceived by others. We need to maintain our image as an unbiased cyber security consultant. Should CyberTech remain on both the OPM breach investigation and the overseas case at the same time? Or should we drop one of the cases? Apply your critical thinking and analytical skills to figure out what happened what we know and don’t know, and how the company might remedy this situation. I’d like a paper by the end of the week with your recommendations

For this assignment, you will be writing a Technology Autobiography in which you:
o Explore and expand your definitions of technology.
o Identify key moments, people, and places in your personal relationships with technology.
o Write an autobiographical essay that explores your relationship to technology.
o Apply your knowledge of various sentence structures in your writing.
Review Examples of Technology Autobiographies written by Michigan Tech Publication Management Students during Fall 1999, as well as “A Technology Autobiography” by Krista L. Arola in lesson 5.1.
You can use the Technology Autobiography Heuristic as a way to start brainstorming and outlining your ideas.
Write a 2-3 page autobiographical narrative paper that explores the significant interactions you have had with technology during your life and analyzes what those interactions reveal about you (and, if appropriate, others).
o Your paper will tell readers what kind of technology user you are by sharing details about your key experiences with technology.
o Your paper should be written in chronological order, but you may use other structures (such as flashback or flashforward) if they make sense for your story.
o Organize your experiences into a paper that explains how you became the technology user you are today.
o Autobiographies usually use first-person, so you can use first-person pronouns as you tell your story; you can use “I” in your paper.
o Finally, be sure to use concrete details in your story. Use strong, specific information to make the significance of your interactions with technology clear to your readers.

3. Population and economic activity are spiky, and so is innovation. Justify
4. Talent migration amongst a certain range of spiky regions/cities, is possible. What is your take? Does digital nomadism put an end to this? What type of talent does the field you are at, require?
5. Role of data collected. Analyze binary oppositions and world view constructions: urban-rural, developed-undeveloped, rich-poor, can we move beyond binaries?
6. Account for which of the three paradigms: mind-machine; product-platform or core-crowd would describe this project for the US Pavilion at the 2018 and justify your answer
