#DCIM353McCormick A key takeaway from this course is that the advancement of technology has made it important for people to balance their "techno-social" lives because of all of the data everyone is exposed to on a daily basis.
@DJaredvan Hello Jared, I agree that AI will integrate into the workforce and provide assistance in many important fields such as healthcare and finance. It's happening now, with many medical centers using Blockchain to create patient portals to access medical records. #DCIM353McCormick
@Katie633535731 Hi Katie. I agree that cable tv simply can't compete with the prices of Netflix, Hulu, and other platforms that offer the same programs and channels a typical cable provider does, but for much cheaper. Streaming also allows people to have a choice. #DCIM353McCormick
@mjbathan_ Hi MJ. I agree that social media education may be a thing of the future. Social media has become a part of everyone, and it's important for young people to understand how they can leverage social media to their advantage. #DCIM353McCormick
@DJaredvan Hello Jared,
It's interesting to think about the versatility that video conferencing is providing for us today and in the future. While I think in person doctor visits are important, telehealth will definitely start becoming a mainstream occurrence.
@seanbollandd @Audi@Porsche@elonmusk@GM Hello Sean,
electric automobiles are definitely the future. I think it's crucial that society moves away from gasoline powered vehicles to something more eco-friendly.
@Michael_RU20 Hi Michael. Technologies such as Zoom have definitely been pivotal to the continuation of business and education all over the world. It's interesting to think about how things may be different if we didn't have Zoom.
#DCIM353McCormick For the EDTP project, I will be discussing blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. More specifically, how this technology can be used to tackle issues regarding censorship and the creation of decentralized applications.
@seanbollandd Current circumstances will only make people more likely to consider online dating as many are forced to stay home while continuously being exposed to advertisements related to dating apps while consuming media.
@janehayoungkang Hello Jane, I completely agree with you here. I think it may have been far more difficult to talk about mental health issues pre-technology because people who were dealing with those issues felt alone.
@dykaix Hi Sonndy. I completely agree with your assessment on modern day media consumption. Technology is optimized for convenience, which is why people gravitate towards services like Netflix because it provides a low barrier of entry for entertainment while being affordable.
It's really crazy to think about how technology and online shopping is changing the way people go about completing basic tasks and living their daily lives.

#DCIM353McCormick A social norm that's changed since the introduction of modern technology is online shopping. The introduction of e-commerce has made it convenient for people to get everything they need without having to leave their home.
Current circumstances have shown the reach of e-commerce, as people have started ordering groceries online for delivery. Amazon has even introduced "Amazon pharmacy" for people who need their meds delivered to them.
