My Relationship With Technology --- Final Blog Post

 My Relationship With Technology



                    I feel my relationship with technology while somewhat addictive is necessary.  We use technology for every facet of life, communication, work, and play.  One aspect I enjoy the most is that I can make a phone call and FaceTime my family that live in other parts of the country, it definitely makes us feel closer. While I do spend a lot of time on my phone and laptop, I do try to take a break from social media from time to time.  There are times when I just don't want to be bothered with text messages, emails, etc. And I will just close my phone down for a few hours.  It feels good to recharge and take a break from time to time.  My mom and dad have encouraged this as well.  As a family we are not allowed to have devices at the dinner table, although sometimes my dad needs to answer his phone because he is a surgeon.  Going forward I feel technology is only going to be more dominant in our everyday lives, but it is important like anything else in life to be aware and every now and then take a break and slow down.

                      Obscure News Media                    My  opinion of why you have to seek out obscure anti war websites is that the mainstream media is biased.  The bias of the main stream media was clearly apparent during the Presidential Election of 2020.  Anyone could see from reading, or watching just a blip of the news which way the bias leaned towards.  Fox News clearly favored Trump, while pretty much every other news source ABD, CBS, and NBC favored Biden.  When it comes to war I am not sure where the truth actually lies.  From reading the websites suggested in the Syllabus on Anti War, there seem to be some credible authors on the website. on The American Conservative Website, author Doug Bandow was a former special assistant to President Ronald Reagan.  Most people look at Ronald Reagan as a good President.  My grandfather looks back on "The Reagan Years" as he says they were very good to him as he was employed as a draftsman at Grumann Aerospace Corporation.

There are advantages to AI such as the reduction of human error.  Also the risk involved of a machine doing something that a human would normally do  like defuse a bomb.  Defusing a bomb via  AI could potentially save someone's life. Computers are also available 24 hours 7 days a week where as humans need to sleep.  Computers are also able to perform repetitive jobs without injury.  As humans we can be injured from constant repetitive motions.

 Privacy                    Privacy and data on the internet is another complex situation. On a daily basis we provide our information willing to the internet and hope that it will not be used against u s.  We post pictures on  Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, we use our credit cards to make purchases.  These can all be positive.  These tools allow us to stay connected to friends and family across the world.  It provides a connection to them that we didn't have before.  It can also be used against us.  We hear on the news how our data has been breached by companies who were hacked.  This is a huge inconvenience  for the consumer, sometimes we have to close accounts or get new credit cards.  There are people who do this as a job, they prey on people.  My cousin just had her privacy violated by a hacker.  She was approached by a company on Instagram to become an influencer, the company sent her a check.  When she received the check she cashed it.  Later that day she went to take out mon
