Digital Technology and Disruptive Change- DCIM

[Shreya Sherikar @srs328]

This class has transformed the way I look at digital technology and taught me how to identify a disruptive technology. It affects our lives in all aspects, everyday and will continue to forever #DigiTechS22A

- also, is relevant in regards to social media algorithms- and how these platoforms tailor your feed to what they think you will click on. #DigiTechS22A

[Shreya Sherikar @srs328]

A takeaway from this course is the issue of privacy and keeping our information that we put out online safe- I never really thought about how all these social media platforms that I use have my personal and private information

@kerryebates Interesting concept! accessibility features will definitely be on the rise in the future and will be used practically everywhere- airports, restaurants, and not limited to tv programming and smartphones

@chickeen_wang VR has already changed the world in how we live, communicate, learn, and work. VR technology will continue to make such devices even smarter. It will be interesting to see how it changes watching/experiencing movies, traveling, etc....

@YangBertran This is so interesting! 3D printing reduces overall energy waste making it more sustainable and will probably be the most affordable option for home construction in the future!

I predict e-commerce will significantly impact the way people shop and buy products. E-commerce is already such a huge digital technology trend as it makes shopping much easier when you can do it from home, e-commerce will be the new normal. #DigiTechS22A

@kerryebates Great topic, I’m also researching TikTok 😌 there are so many ways you can go about researching whether it be the effects on different age groups, what it has done for business and in terms of marketing and promoting, etc.

@AngelinaSabo2 This is a great topic! It’s so interesting how virtual reality is being used in the medical field and researching what other fields virtual reality is being used in will give you so much to discuss in your paper

@ymh_chen Cool topic! I personally am a big online shopper and has made my shopping experience much easier

[Shreya Sherikar @srs328]

The topic I am choosing for my EDTP is TikTok which I’m sure everyone is familiar with. I think TikTok has has both positive and negative influences on our society and I’m interested in researching that more in depth. #DigiTechS22A

@kerryebates Privacy issues is a big concern in the modern digital age. It’s so crazy how one google search and you can find peoples full private information (phone number, address, emails, etc.) although, I feel like people don’t understand the magnitude of how scary this actually is.

[Shreya Sherikar @srs328]

@palak_singh73 and it kind of becomes a vicious cycle bc you are constantly trying to keep up with other people and their lifestyles and it’s so hard mentally to just be okay with where you’re personally at in life.

[Shreya Sherikar @srs328]

@palak_singh73 The thing about social media is everyone wants to post the best parts of their life so other viewers compare those best parts to their everyday life and feel like they’re not doing enough or not good enough, when In reality, it is just a small chunk of their lives.

[Shreya Sherikar @srs328]

@SethKelley0 I completely agree with you. My phone is pretty much everything to me and has all my info and reminders, things that I need on a day to day basis are saved on my phone. And it’s so interesting bc wo it I would lose the digital part of myself

[Shreya Sherikar @srs328]
