Week 8

 3 things I found interesting or important

  1. "But the overall consensus is that we need more boundaries. We need to be able to have a little bit more control over our personal information and identity online. And so you're starting to see these sorts of changes take place where these companies aren't able to access as much information as they could about you before." I find this important because I am an advocate for this as well, social media is too advanced and they know too much about us personally.
  2. "With the permission of her parents, Ava, then 14, sold selfies that she had posted on Snapchat to a an 18-year-old man, despite the fact that he had bought photos of her, along with personal information, from her friends. He would later show up on her doorstep with a shotgun." This is scary because people are just scary and crazy and everyone doesn't have good intentions.
  3. “Think about the last post you've seen that has gone viral. Think about the last piece of content that you personally shared. Why did you share it? It's not because that person gave you a quick tip that you could have Googled, okay? I find this interesting because there is a lot of thing on TikTok that give out so much information, things that we should already know that we can find out through our own research.
2 ways I can relate
  1. I can relate to Zulie Rane's YouTube video because I see that little girl all the time on Instagram and yea the outfits are cute and all but some things just aren't age appropriate when it comes to kids. It just seems like it's a bit forced because a 4-year-old isn't the mastermind behind the content. 
  2. Whether it’s coaching your children to cry for the camera or making them the subject of cruel pranks, the act of leveraging the welfare of children for clicks or leaving them overexposed and vulnerable has made clear that there is a need for an overhaul of how children exist on the internet, starting with the influencer space." I can relate to this because I have seen people on TikTok be upset about how many saves a video gets when it's pertaining to a child.

What do you guys feel about child influencers dressing like an adult? Do you think it is age appropriate?

    I feel that with the world and how some people are, I think that it would be safer for children to not dress like adults to avoid any malice. I really like all the points you provided and enjoyed reading your content! Sweet and to the point and alot of information to take in and think about.

    It doesn't seem right for child influencers to dress like adults. I think back on my own childhood, and cannot imagine dressing any other way than what was appropriate for my age. These child influencers are growing up way too fast, and should not seek to escape their childhood through dressing another way. It saddens me that more and more children seem to be acting way older than their ages.

 3 things I found interesting or important Either something mystical and cultish is taking over my brain, or the company has created an experience more engaging and entertaining than any fitness company has before. In my opinion, it is the latter, and it has entirely to do with the instructors they’ve hired and the access we have to them on and off the bike. Originally launched in 2017, r/place ran for 72 hours. The lifespan of the new r/place was also short – ultimately lasting for just five days. Beginning initially as a blank canvas, r/place allows users to place one coloured pixel every five minutes (or 20 minutes for unverified accounts) as they attempt to build a collective art piece. Yet this platform of 32.6 million daily users—more than half of whom are under 13—has some dark corners. In some games, players’ blocky avatars simulate sex, engage in raunchy talk and “date” other avatars. While much of this isn’t new, Roblox’s explosive growth has drawn fresh attention to what’s h

  3 things I found interesting or important In some ways, device ubiquity is great. For students with various disabilities, for instance, certain applications can be liberating. In-class polling has become infinitely easier. Students can photograph complicated diagrams rather than trying lamely to copy them down. And those of us with catastrophically bad handwriting -- not that I know anybody like that -- can attest that the opportunity to take legible notes is a game changer. We are in the midst of a battle for our attention. Our devices have hijacked our brains and destroyed our collective ability to concentrate – to the extent that we’re even seeing the emergence of a “goldfish generation”. That, at least, is the story that’s increasingly being told. But should we be paying attention to it? By letting email and other messages guide our workday, Cal says we're weakening our ability to do the most challenging kinds of work—what he calls "deep work." Deep work requires su

Week 6

 Interesting or Important I find it very interesting on the IRL "What if women built the internet?" how they are all women and when it came to them emailing men about the business you could hear the snobbiness and rolling eyes in their response emails. So they made up this person named Keith to handle the emails,  who is a male obviously and things would get done. I think that this is crazy and sad for one that women are treated less when it comes to business because some men feel that women are dumb and don't know anything when it comes to business. " Everyone in the world is dependent on technology.  From hearing aids to spectacles, drugs to prosthetics, smartphones to contraceptives–human existence is a cycle of inventing things to shape life, and, in turn, be shaped. There is no “natural” state for humans, not since we mastered fire." I find this entire paragraph interesting and important because it made me realize how very true  this is. "In general, i
