My second specific takeaway from this course was the ways in which we closely analyzed social media and its' purposes. Social media is a technology that I use everyday of my life, sometimes without even thought. #DigiTechS23B
@brianna0604RU The thought of smartphones becoming foldable into whatever size we want is amazing to think about. It’s not an idea out of the ordinary, but I’d be interested to see how that works out. I have no doubts of it working out either, for it will make the technology more accessible.
@jbang_rutgers 3D printing surely is one of the newer innovations that impact multiple aspects of society. Who would have thought that something like this could have ever been invented and used in various ways. It serves as an important role in many individual’s everyday purposes as well.
@vaidyadhruvr Augmented reality is a topic that I’ve heavily researched in recent weeks, and it’s safe to say the concept of it blows my mind. I agree it has definitely begun to affect education along with numerous other things, and it will only continue to do so as time goes on.
Artificial Intelligence will
have a substantial impact on our economy. It will result in many to lose their jobs and replace an incredible amount of important careers that we make use of in our world today. #DigiTechS23B
@geetikathakur39 Social media is absolutely one of the most prevalent topics of discussion in our world today, for it really does consume our lives. The fact that I am responding to your idea on a social media platform says enough. I think the disruptiveness of social media is an excellent topic.
@KEXUANLI3 Zoom is definitely a popular one to choose at a time like this. To think that only a few years ago none of us were familiar with the term "Zoom," whatsoever, I'm excited to see where you go with this topic.
@janikadc I love the way you chose to tie facial recognition to the area of beauty standards. It's an incredibly unique idea that I feel would be incredibly interesting, especially with society's standards today.
For my Emerging Digital Technology project, I chose to focus on a "world" we know to be Virtual Reality. I'm excited to dive deeper into the benefits, but also the downsides that we experience as a result of virtual reality. #DigiTechS23B
@Martin_DCIM The amount of time I spend online shopping only proves the point you’re making here even more. Buying all sorts of items online goes hand in hand with what we know to be the modern digital age today.
@geetikathakur39 I can see this being a more popular answer among our generation. It’s crazy to think that our ancestors look at it as something so far out of comprehension sometimes too.
@DISHABASU13 I 100% agree with you Disha, as troublesome as this sounds, it’s definitely true. It’s an issue that’s also out of our hands most times as well.
In our modern digital age, activism through the use of media has definitely become a social norm that I think is important to acknowledge. It has changed the way many of us not only retrieve news, but put some of our own news out there, on social media of any kind. #DigiTechS23B
