https://t.co/33lmu8tzuQ Here is an amazing story about the @ChildDreamFund! They help dreams come true for children with life-threatening diseases. This article is about Austin Rodriguez who was diagnosed with a brain tumor. They helped his dream of having a dog come true!

It is important to know that data about us is always being sold . "These companies sell, use or analyze the data to cater to advertisers, retail outlets and even hedge funds seeking insights into consumer behavior."

We most become app enabled instead of dependent. This is discussed by Davis and Gardner in Guest: Are apps becoming a human crutch? "it is important to spend time and go places where your apps are not by your side" #digitalidentity

[Payton Anderson @PaytonCanderson]

In "Guest: Are apps becoming a human crutch?" Davis and Gardner discuss the reasons we should't depend on apps, "anyone who has become wholly dependent on apps looks to them immediately when making a decision, instead of first reflecting on prior experiences" #eme4390m2021

@fpetrag Watching this also made me reflect a lot on my usage. We miss out on so much because we feel like we need to check our phones whenever we get a notification.

@Gabriela_Dasilv I completely agree! Watching The Social Dilemma completely opened my eyes. I had no idea how this technology worked and how they use it to make us stay on their apps.

It is so hard to tell what is fake news or real news online. What comes up for each person is based what will get their attention. I will have to be more cautious with the news I get on my social media. #eme4390s2021

It is very concerning that these high up people in technology are even addicted to it! They know what is happening and they still can't stop. #eme4390s2021

I knew these big technology companies had a lot of data on us, but I didn't think it was as much as they discussed in the video! It makes me think about what they could do with this data. #eme4390s2021

[Payton Anderson @PaytonCanderson]

I have never really thought about how these companies made so much money. It sounded crazy to me when they said that I was the product! Once they explained this though it made a lot of sense. #eme4390s2021

[Payton Anderson @PaytonCanderson]

While watching the social dilemma I found the opening scene very interesting. They had clips of interviews with former high up employees of major technology companies. They all had similar things to say about why they left. #eme4390m2021

https://t.co/9lkdFNi16X I can't believe the story about Charlie Bracke is real! I had no idea that the World Health Organization added gaming disorder to its list of disorders. #eme4390m2021

Jonathan Haidt had a very interesting viewpoint in his video. I liked how he broke it down to what is really happening. Everyone should be able to express their ideas without having to fear what others might say. #eme4390m2021
