Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Every action we carry out on a digital device triggers a chain reaction of events often involving many different parties. For example, from Trackography we learn that visiting the website of a regional newspaper will facilitate a bunch of companies (mostly American) to obtain some information about us. Who is affected by this? What consequences does it have?
This happens transparently without most of us ever really noticing. As users we are blind to the actual flows or information and where responsibilities change hands, where the liminal zones are. The whole online experience has been made seamless through thoughtful design. Yet it is this seamlessness that makes it possible for a middle-person to go unnoticed.
In this assignment we will work on designing means to improve situational awareness while browsing the web.
Situational Awareness is the ability to identify, process, and comprehend the critical elements of information about what is happening around you during an activity. It is the things that happen around you while you are focused on something. More simply, it's knowing what is going on around you.
