Marketplace Tech for Tuesday, December 31, 2013
All this week we're talking to guests about big tech trends in the coming year. January 1, the Freedom from Drone Surveillance Act goes into effect in Illinois. This limits how police can use drone surveillance (they'll need a warrant). Today we hear from Chester Wisniewski at the cyber security firm Sophos abouton a growing number of organizations tracking people as they do their shopping. And it's New Year's Eve, so of course it's almost time for New York City to do it's big ball drop. Technically, it’s not a ball as much as a geodesic sphere weighing around 12,000 pounds. And there's plenty of Technology in the thing.
