This class has informed me of the scale of technology disruption and made me think about technology that has been disruptive in recent times. The class also made me curious about what future technology will be disruptive and change our society as a whole. #DCIM353C
@DCIM_tmh174 This would be an interesting topic to look into for essay 2. I agree that many forms of social media has brought about concerns of body image and caused many to feel disappointed in how they look. I never thought about how catfishing is a result of that. #dcim353c
@EmmaGaribian This would be a good topic for essay 2. Algorithms can be used by others to bring them power while making others unequal. I think this topic also brings the debate about surveillance. #DCIM353c
@ChuyaoMa Digital activism has become increasingly relevant in recent times and will be a great topic for essay 2. There are a lot of recent examples of digital activism that changes the ways people think and use digital media. #DCIM353C
For Essay 2, I think the use of algorithms would be an interesting topic. I would want to tie algorithms into government surveillance and discuss the issue of privacy and security. These algorithms can be seen as taking away people's privacy. #DCIM353C
@chrisl1253 Hi Christopher, I agree that digital media has improved communication between people overall. We are able to communicate with anyone at anytime now, but some people think this shift is too far to be considered communication. #DCIM353C
@TanvirR44686746 Hi Tanvir, this is an interesting concept. Things like the iPhone are constantly being improved on each year instead of being replaced or changed too much. This could be since we are comfortable with this technology or because they sell well. #DCIM353C
@ChuyaoMa Hi Chuyao, I was planning on using a similar concept in my essay. Although I think the reading makes it seem like artificial intelligence will not be too difficult to implement, I want to focus on ways it could be more difficult to implement. #DCIM353C
I am thinking about making essay 1 about the Jurica Dujmovic reading. It is stated that "artificial intelligence, robots will make industries more efficient and effective”, but I want to look into ways that they can negatively affect industry like taking jobs away. #DCIM353C
@Ahmed04620738 I am also researching the future of virtual reality. I think you will find many different people that VR can help and change in your research, it seems like a technology that has a lot of adaptability. In the future VR could be used in every field. #DCIM353c
@JustinAnno1 I am also looking into the future of virtual reality. I think you will find many positive impacts in your research, but it may take some time and be difficult to have virtual reality become widely available to all. Interested in seeing how it can affect teaching. #DCIM353c
@EmmaGaribian I think Geolocation is an interesting topic. I think that many people are going to have to get used to Geolocation, or figure out solutions to people's many privacy concerns. #DCIM353c
For the EDTP project I will be researching virtual reality. I want to look into ways that virtual reality will be able to impact the future. I have been looking into ways VR can change employee training and also changing fitness. #DCIM353C
@TanvirR44686746 I think there are pros and cons to parenting in the digital age. Some parents are able to set up some strict parental controls on their kids devices that will still keep the kid entertained while the parent is working. It is still important to limit screen time as well. #DCIM353C
@maryskaltsis1 This is definitely a big digital change. There is almost no use for doorbells anymore since I have not used one in years. With increased usage of delivery services like DoorDash that also text when they arrive, even they no longer have a use for doorbells. #DCIM353C
@ChuyaoMa This is an interesting article since it is a very recent problem. A few years ago no one was talking about their online image, but now there have been many people that began to have issues with it. It is important to come up with a solution to this problem. #DCIM353C
This article goes into some interesting changes. It shows how more people have done virtual workout classes and concerts in addition to other things. These virtual changes could easily become the norm in the future. #DCIM353C

@JustinAnno1 Hi Justin, I have always been interested in the growth of virtual reality. While virtual reality seems extremely new and advanced, in a few years I think that VR will be a lot more common and advanced. It is good to see VR being pushed forward during the pandemic. #DCIM353C

This article is about a drone that will be able to detect if someone has a virus. I thought this was interesting since it is pushing technology forward but might be taking away people's privacy. #DCIM353C
