After using both Google and an alternative search provider Ecosia, I noticed very few differences between the two. Google was a bit easier to navigate, possibly because I am just used to it. But both engines provided similar information and in similar organizational ways. #j175
Where is the line drawn between free speech and censorship? Although the Disinformation Government Board might be successful at removing threats, it could also become a form of censorship as its reach expands. #j175
It is not often that you get a glimpse into the life of a president, let alone the life of the “first digital president”. This is a great way of using the digital world to connect with others. #j175

There is not a one-step solution to close the digital divide, however ensuring digital equity is a step in the right direction. In Baltimore, Mayor Brandon M. Scott has launched the Digital Equity Fund to begin the efforts to close the gap. #j175

When asked, my sister was aware of the digital divide and it’s implications. However, she thought it was only a divide between different countries access to technology, and didn’t realize that there was a specific term to classify it. #j175
One thing that I learned from the course syllabus is the concept of “Netiquette”. More specifically, I learned that two of J175’s rules are to avoid tangents and not use uppercase typing when posting on social media. #j175
“I think bars should not use fake ID scanners. College students have fake ids and putting them into a system does nothing but get them in trouble. It is wrong to have a fake ID but obtaining the information of a student invades privacy and security.” -Erin Earls #j202#lab302
“Yes. I think this is a very important topic that will be considered when it is time to vote. As this topic is fresh and up in the air in each state it is essential that the new parties share particular beliefs.” -Erin Earls

@GavinLuebke28 I tend to find the ads that have stories attached to them to be the most attractive to me, and the most persuading. They tap into my emotion and keep me hooked, as opposed to basic, boring, generic ads. #uwj201 #309
@rheadjacobus I think that AI can be considered ethical if the public is aware of its whereabouts and intentions. Furthermore, I think that the more people that learn about AI, the greater influence it can have on society. #uwj201 #309
As mentioned in this weeks reading, there is an influx of algorithms being used in the digital media age. What might be a convincing argument to persuade soemone to support algorithms? What principle of persuasion could be used? #UWJ201 #309
@allieserterides I think that this should only continue if the ad agencies and real time bidding companies are transparent with their intentions. It is only fair for us-the people they are using- to know at least what we are being used for. #UWJ201 #309
In this weeks reading, we learned about real time bidding. Many say that this does not invade privacy because they don’t get access to our real names or identifying details. Do you think that this process is ethical given they do not have access to our personal info? #uwj201 #309
@GracenSpritka I think the best ways to spread information is to hear from multiple perspectives, which television news cannot provide. For the same reason, online news that can provide these multiple perspectives also tends to include bias. #uwj201 #309
