Is this the world of interconnectedness we dreamed of 25 years ago at the dawn of the internet age? How can we control it instead of it predicting and nudging us?

The Center for Global Justice will hold two workshops in both English and Spanish to teach you how to avoid being watched and listened to by your devices. Monday and Tuesday Feb. 17 and 18 from 5-7pm.
