Blog #6 Technology

 


There are so many things that I have learned from other people. To start off, I think the most prominent thing I have learned from others regarding technology is very addictive especially in this day and age where it is such a mainstream thing all around us in society, I have grown up with technology all around me, and through the years it has only grown to become something so advanced and part of people's daily lives. As I grew up and saw how attached people around me were to technology especially social media, I realized that I was becoming the same way so I started limiting how long I could be on my phone when I got home from school by setting an alarm and then I would start doing my homework, take a shower, eat food, then at the end of the day when I was about to go to bed I would go on my phone for about an hour max. 






Technology is a very fickle thing to get under control because of how much people take advantage of it. There are lots of reasons why technology has helped shape society into what it is today. However, of course there are people out there that have an unhealthy relationship with technology. Over the years, I have seen technology take over many people's lives without them knowing and having to take detoxes from their phones and electronic devices. I have had a pretty healthy relationship with technology after seeing most people get sucked into it which is why I am a social media major. Social media has helped me get to the confidence level that I am at currently which has allowed me to make my social media about me and what I like compared to sitting around wondering what people think about me, I also got rid of my like count so that whenever post something, it is not about how many likes I can get but rather showing parts of my life that I want shared on the internet. 



There are so many parts of technology that have helped this world tremendously but there are always gonna be bad parts but that comes with everything in life, especially with something the is revolutionizing how people think, act, speak, etc. It has always been a part of my life since I was young and will continue to be there with me until the end of time because technology is only going to grow and become more advanced as the years go by.

Blog #4 What's The Big Deal With Cameras?

  I am sure that everyone knows what a camera is since everyone uses one on the daily, but have you ever wondered where they come from and when they were actually created? That is a question I am sure many people have since cameras and photography have become very mainstream and commonly used in today's society to the extent that people find it unusual when someone is not taking pictures of almost everything that they see. The very first type of camera created was the camera obscura made in 4th century BC which projected an image of a scene onto a wall or flat surface.  However it was not as commonly used then as it was compared to the renaissance era in 1502 AD.   The first photograph ever taken was in 1827 by Nicephore Niepce taken of the view of the Window at Le Gras when he used a thin sheet of metal with a small film of chemicals to spread onto it and took about 8 hours for the image to fully set in on the paper.  In 1839, the Daguerreotype which was a popu...

Why Are The 8 Values of Free Expression Important?

  In today's day and age, people are fearful of speaking out about their thoughts, feelings, problems, etc because they will either receive backlash, hate, or people will just refuse to listen. There are times that people are heard but it is unfortunately not as much as people would think which is a big issue in society. Because of many sensitivities, people have to constantly monetize what they say around certain people because otherwise it could be interpreted in the wrong way and that person could get "cancelled" which is another toxic trait that society has stuck to in recent years. People's voices should be heard if they are asking to be listened to instead of just having them get thrown in a corner and not be cared about. I feel like it is especially hard for younger generations to be given freedom of speech. Being a college student myself, it definitely is more nerve wracking speaking to people because they are always judging what you are saying and you never w...
