#DigiTechS22A Privacy is a commodity, not given. @sixwordstories

#DigiTechS22A One big takeaway I have from this course is how much we are actually being tracked and monitored online. No matter how careful people are on the internet, companies can follow everything users do at any time.

@STrimpert Online shopping has definitely affected the job market. One of the best places to go shopping is the local mall. However, with online shopping becoming so popular more and more malls have been closing down, making hundreds, maybe even thousands of employees go out of a jobs.

@ymh_chen While very helpful in many abscesses of our society, Artificial intelligence can hinder the job market tremendously. Artificial intelligence has made it where companies can employ fewer workers and make an even greater profit.

@YangBertran 3D printers can make almost anything you can think of, and I can only see them getting better in the future. 3D printers have become so advanced that research has been done with 3D printing internal organs for transplants, hopefully saving millions of lives in the future.

#DigiTechS22A VR or virtual reality has become more and more popular in our world of digital connectedness. I believe in the future virtual reality will become a new and accepted way for people to interact and connect with other people without ever leaving their own homes.

[Andrew J Epstein @AndrewJEpstein1]

@AngelinaSabo2 Virtual reality is becoming ever more integrated into our society. With more and more people using virtual reality for professional and recreational purposes, it is only a matter of time before virtual reality becomes as common as watching TV.

@CF_DeGregorio Food delivery services are probably one of the most time-saving apps you can get. Instead of going out and picking up your food, you can have your food ready for you at your front step when you get home.

[Andrew J Epstein @AndrewJEpstein1]

@jaimipatell I could not agree more. I believe virtual reality will become the new norm and will be incorporated into almost every aspect of our lives.

#DigiTechS22A For my EDTP, I plan on talking about Smart TVs. I chose this topic because I find it interesting how television has changed. In the past, cable reigned supreme, but now streaming platforms are taking over, and cable is nowhere to be found.

@eliedwardsRU The consumption of news has changed dramatically through the years. You would pick your favorite news channel to watch or pick up your favorite newspaper in the past. However, in today's day and age, all people have to do is pull up their favorite social media site.

[Andrew J Epstein @AndrewJEpstein1]

@kerryebates People's privacy online has decreased dramatically over the past few decades. While most believe their information is safe on various sites, it is usually not. Social media sites are a great example because they track, monitor, and archive anything you do on their site.

@CF_DeGregorio Due to the advancements in digital technology, the ability for people to find quick work has never been more effortless. The fast cash people make through part-time gigs they find online has helped people get through some hard times.

#DigiTechS22A A social norm that has changed since the progression of the digital age is cell phones. Cell phones changed from the single-use item that only let people call others to the modern phone that can do anything a computer can do, just smaller.
