Connected, But Alone?

SUMMARY OF VIDEO
    CONNECTED, BUT ALONE?
  TED Talk
                                  
     QUESTIONS 
    1. Do you agree that technology changes who we are? Why or why not? Explain whether these changes are positive or negative. 
Yes I agree technology does change our personal lives and daily like you use to go outside now you spend all your time on the computer and these are negative changes because you need physical activity and a breath of fresh air once in a while. 

     2.What does “alone together” mean to you?
To me it means interacting online instead of with a person when actually nobody is with you at the moment.

     3.“We expect more from technology than we do from each other.” Do you agree or disagree? Explain your answer.
     I agree because  all we think about is getting a response instead of trying to build up a conversation with your friend. 

     4.Do you think you are the same person when you text/email/comment that you are in “real life”? Why or why not? Explain. Yes because I never do anything bad on the internet. 

     5.Would you rather text than talk in a conversation? Why or why not. Explain your thinking. I would rather start a conversation because I don't have to type and I can actually speak and get to know a person.

     6.Do you agree that technology is a form of companionship? Explain.
I think its not because there are other things that are going to be on there. What if the power goes out or the batteries run out.

      MY PERSPECTIVE 
      I think it is worst for high school students because they could get bullied. That leads to very bad results like suicide and nobody wants to see that happen. The other things are that there are strangers lurking on the internet and weirdo's  It reveals personal info to random people. It saves all the things you post on it good or bad. It is some time over the age of the user. The main one is cyber bullying which can happen any time and causes very bad things like suicide, kids feeling bad about their selves and everybody can see what is happening. The social media websites also keep everything you post which is bad that can lead to not having a good job and not getting into a good college. It is bad for high school students because it is putting tension on them stress like will they reply will they. It makes some people make the wrong decision. It makes people go crazy. For some people it might even make them try to hack. It makes people obsessed with games on the websites. It makes them go berserk on friends. It makes them use their parent’s credit cards and money. It makes parents feel bad that their son or daughter is on the computer all the time. You never get any sunshine or a breath of fresh air. These are all the reasons I thought might have been necessary for why social media is bad for high school kids.

Cyber Bullying in the News

Cyber Bullying in the News

   It made me feel kind of bothered of what the older kid did he is supposed to be a role model but instead he decides to go cyber bully on the internet. One question I still have is that was the girl a friend or a relative to the two younger boys? my general thoughts are that why do people decide to do what they do on the internet. the other thing is the internet should have a better privacy settings.

    After he got blocked he created another and did the whole thing again. The boys finally got tired of it and told their parents which then they called the police.

Sixth Sense Technology

WHO- He is an Indian inventor named Pranav Mistry some people think he is the best inventor right now.  
WHAT- Pranav is an inventor of sixth sense technology which allows you to basically have an IPad whenever or wherever you go and on any surface.     
WHEN- When it happened was in 2009.           
WHERE- Where it happened was in India. 
WHY- Why it happened was because he wanted to create something new that was simple, portable and easy
HOW- how it happened was Pranav dismantled a mouse and figured how its motion sensing technology worked and he figured he could make something out of it too so borrowed his friends mouse and dismantled that one now he had double the parts which he needed he started connecting specific parts together to make the sixth sense technology. He used most of the motion sensing technology of the mouse to create the sixth sense technology.
