I started Computer Science this semester, and one of the first assignments for the History of Computers unit is this:

Assignment: Report – Issues in Computers
Find a newspaper or magazine article related to an issue in computing. Write a 500-750 report discussing the article and its impact on society. Your article should include a summary of the issue as described in the article followed by your opinions of the impact on society. Be sure to include a copy of the article (if appropriate) with your report and proper references.
Any suggestions for an article?
