I think it’s important to manage the amount fo time spent on devices and applications. Too much time in our devices takes away from exploring other things and learning when the spent time is non-beneficial. #HerlihyEME4390S23

One thing that I think we can agree on is how it’s quite shocking knowing that apps can track our locations and use this information to promote different products and services simply off of knowing where we are and have been. #HerlihyEME4390S23

Gardner’s and Davis’ article, Are Apps Becoming a Crutch, talks about “app dependence” among this current generation. The term can be defined as a person’s need for their personal devices to function and get things done throughout the day. #HerlihyEME4390S23

It’s interesting to see how adding technology in politics affects peoples views and openness. The second reading showed a similar increase of more than 50% in division of views, but also people being more open to other views. #HerlihyEME4390S23

We’ve seen for awhile that technology has it’s good and bad side to news sharing in general so when it comes to politics it’s the same thing. People can get information easier and stay updated, but finding the right information is the problem. #HerlihyEME4390S23

“How the digital age is reshaping politics” mentions participatory budgeting. This is a great way to get people active in the community by addressing the needs of it. It has clearly shown improvements throughout the years #HerlihyEME4390S23

I think Estonias’s use of electronic government applications is great for more public interaction when it comes to voting. It’s a good system that could become increasingly beneficial in the future #HerlihyEME4390S23

In the Big Think video, Haidt says “Silence is safer”. As a naturally quiet person I agree, but understanding the context is important. I think it’s important to know when making an opinion what type of response you’ll receive #HerlihyEME4390S23

This article is about the digital divides affect the working class, how they miss out on many things like being able to communicate about jobs, and finding the required tools for such things. It also debates pros and cons of the divide. https://t.co/HOUVzQINsn #HerlihyEME4390S23

This article focuses on the divide among ethnicities and internet access during the pandemic. Their studies show that Blacks, Latinos and Natives were topped the list for 0 internet access, where as whites and asians were at the bottom. https://t.co/pYDC8RwgYw #HerlihyEME4390S23

This article is about research done on group within the same area but of different political stand points. Those with larger government involvement generally had better access compared to ethnic groups that were “more likely to rebel” https://t.co/fetrxXVcGe #HerlihyEME4390S23

This is about the digital divide based on gender inequalities. Low income countries about have the men have internet access compared to the women. This causes them to be left out of conversations such as society, economy, and education. https://t.co/X21pYsXICq #HerlihyEME4390S23

This article talks about the differences of access to internet as well and computers from European Americans compared to minorities. The argument is around being access digital health information: "the digital health divide." https://t.co/zlrf7H5H2o #HerlihyEME4390S23

Interesting to see people that helped social media platforms such as Facebook thrive are now turning around to warn people of the negative aspects to it. #HerlihyEME4390S23
