Hi everyone!

So this week we focussed a lot on copyrighting and ideas immediately started flowing in my head. Newspaper articles and documentaries started popping up of issues with technology, social media, privacy and censorship.

For this blogpost, I decided to focus on iPhones. More specifically, the iPhone 5s and 6 and how it has a fingerprint scanner in the phone. The fingerprint scanner is how you can unlock your iPhone.

Initially, society thought this was an incredible and mindblowing utility. However as time went on, this utility tapped into our security and privacy.

Below is an article I discovered on the Huffington Post about the iPhone 5s and 6 fingerprint scanner and how that scanner can result in you being hacked. Read more here.
