Week 14 Deep Dive

 I think that esports is cool, it makes the game even more interesting and fun for gamers. I play games but I don't care to play competitive games but this has really become a big trend because people make millions of dollars because of streaming. The only down part I see of this is people taking the game too far and being inappropriate towards someone who isn't of age. Also, I have heard about how streamers will stream for hours and never sleep and also drink multiple energy drinks just to stay awake. I get that those people may be trying to make a name for themselves but that isn't healthy for their bodies whatsoever and that can cause some serious problems.

Practice

My boyfriend and his friends actually stream sometimes when they're either playing 2k23 or Call of Duty. Something I notice in common with gaming streams is that the people's behavior can be a bit erratic, I understand that people are competitive but all the screaming, yelling, and cussing is a bit much for me. I watched two streams, one of them playing 2k and one of them playing Call of Duty, and I can say that how they react is totally different depending on the game. If it's Call of Duty, they scream and get frustrated more but on the other hand with 2k they are a bit more calm, maybe it is because they have both played basketball majority of their lie up until now.

 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 12 Practice task

 The ethics surrounding CourseHero and Essaybot are similar. the app proposes helping you find any answer to any question a student may need help with for a charge fee, of course. I don't think that all students who use apps like such depend solely on the app but it is definitely a lot easier to do so than to learn the material. It could be a case where the student's professor just isn't helping them learn or it's hard to learn the way that professor teaches so they may use one of these apps to get help and learn the material themselves and those reasonings are also why I think students cheat.
