"I fired up IMParanoid, the secret instant messenger that I used when I wanted to have an off-the-record discussion right in the middle of class.Darryl was already logged."Ch 1 Pg 15

This passage of  Little Brother by Cory Doctorow shows that in school technology is so advanced that you can use it anywhere now. This secret messager that is being used is like using Skype or any other IM messenger.It is secret meaning that no one else in the schoool knows about it except for a few people.Darryl and Marcus are the ones that have the private conversation about the game they play according to Marcus the best game invented,the game is Harajuku Fun Madness.These labtops that the students use have hidden programs that no one else knows about, not even the board of Ed when they do their routine check ups. Like always Marcus was intelligent enough to know where all these hidden programs were and he always try to get around the Board's latest tests in order to get a hold of them.Technology and Intelligence now go together because most of the technology invented now is used from the intelligence of the brain.Experts in technology invent programs that could do anything from knowing your location to information needed to solve an experiment. In this world and in the future we are expericing that is much easier to get a hold of a person's identity within seconds, something the FBI uses.The advance of techology is shaping our future and soon we will not have to even move a finger because everything will be done for us using the source of the Internet and its computer networking. Overall in my opinion technology is more advanced than expected. We use technology with everything that surrounds us from being in school, working in a hospital or driving your car. Technlogy moves the world and people are so amazed with it because from back then to now technology has shape the world and tasks are done much easier now. In this passage the idea of using an IM to have a secret conversation without no one knowing gives us the idea that technology is advance and we could share information across networking but we should be very careful in doing so.
