Week 10

  3 things I found interesting or important

  1. Parking signs in Los Angeles (LA) have been the epitome of information overload for decades. 
  2. Heymiadocto TikTok video about how it would be if you wanted to make an event on the outlook calendar.
  3. Vox's YouTube video about how products from 10 years ago aren't the same as they are now, for example, things break and tear a lot easier and/or don't last as long.
2 ways I can relate
  1. I can relate to being confused by street signs when it comes to parking in certain places, any place you go downtown in any city for me is always confusing.
  2. I can relate to heymiadocto's content because I personally hate complicated websites when it starts to move for you and completely messes you up with what you're trying to do.
1 question
  1. What do you guys think is the reason why products don't last/ work the same from 10 years ago?

Week 11

  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...

 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...

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...
