One main takeaway for me is that technology can start as an innovation that has the capability of invading our privacy, or being a new essential tool for life, and essentially taking over the space in which something similar initially existed and change our lives. #DCIM353B

@SaraVBrink Hi Sara, Love this point! I think we are all quick to assume technology is all about electronics. I loved that it was mentioned in that article that even horses were considered technology and the shift from horses to cars is even a technological advance! #DCIM353B

@mike_vargas14 I think this is such an interesting statistic and really makes you think about the true purpose and priorities the people have regarding the internet #DCIM353B

@sophiat_ru Hi Sophia, this was such a great point! I completely agree that disruption is a broad term so it is important to zero in on exactly what the disruption is in the specific context. #DCIM353B

In the excerpt from "Digital Street", it is mentioned that "teens use online spaces to live out diverse and contradictory identities". Making technology an important aspect to their identifies and lives. #DCIM353B

@fee_lizzie Such a great idea for your paper! Tiktok definitely has cause major change in culture and entertainment. You could also look into how it has an effect on kids who use this technology in today's society. There are kids at my job who know a little too much about it lol. #DCIM353B

@rz0696 This is such an interesting topic and definitely a technology that has been advancing rapidly. I think that surveillance technologies are very important but also wonder if it could cause privacy issues. #DCIM353B

@maddie_jdcim Hi Maddie! This is such an interesting topic and I just had a conversation recently about this conspiracy. I also heard that it could possibly cause health risks and harmful effects on people. So you could possibly look into that as a disruption it may cause. #DCIM353B

For my paper, I will discuss the Uber app and how it has revolutionized society, and how rapidly this technology has and will continue to advance. I will also discuss some of the disruptions and social norms it has caused, such as safety concerns. #DCIM353B

@fee_lizzie I can see how this can be very toxic and disruptive to society because it sabotages people's careers and it's also somewhat reminiscent of cyberbullying. #DCIM353B

@KalavadiaMamta This change is definitely disruptive as it causes harm to other people and it can be difficult to get a handle on how to deal with this since there is a vast amount of anonymity online. #DCIM353B

@KelvinPoon13 This change leads to fake news due to the fact that false information is spread like wildfire through social media platforms when people don't check their sources first, and I think this change is definitely disruptive and can even be harmful. #DCIM353B

[whitney_v @whitneyv4]

A social norm that has drastically changed due to digital technology is having access to privacy. Social media networks and the internet make it very hard for people to keep their information and personal lives private and it is often violated. #DCIM353B

@danielle_doren I agree that Zoom has been exponentially important due to the pandemic, and I think it is awesome how so many people adapted to using it for more and more things to help us connect, like doing classes through them. #DCIM353B

[whitney_v @whitneyv4]

This article discusses a new mobile app that may help with contact tracing people who may have come into contact with COVID using bluetooth. It is interesting to me because they use methods similar to GPS Tracking to trace people.
