What Can Be Learned Throughout The Virtual World

 I would love to learn more about how much certain niches such as social media, pornography, and/or entertainment as a whole have affected the connections between individuals and to show the positive and negative effects technology have given us as a whole. There is always two sides to an argument, for example some would say that technology has brought us even closer than before in that we can send texts to people around the globe. It was unthinkable at the time that someone could do such a thing! Now, everyone does it on a daily basis (if they actually have someone to talk to). Others would say that technology has actually caused us to be more divided and that we are more lonely than ever. Perhaps some psychological effects are starting to come up due to the exponential increase of technology during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020.

Another topic I would like to learn more about is the artistic side of technology. Gaming for example, can be considered as entertainment alone, but there is also a form of art that is available to those that are willing to create their own worlds using the tools provided to them. Due to the increased rate of technological improvements, there is so much more detail in not only gaming but programs such as Blender, Photoshop, and/or game engines such as Unity/Unreal Engine. It will only keep increasing to a point where detail becomes reality. Music may also fit here, as I am interested in how technology has affected the way music has been created. Comparing now to back in the 80s where you had to have big huge machines in order to play an instrument or to record vocals for your tracks and had to rewind tapes if a take of the song did not match well. Nowadays, music artists can make their own music in their bedroom and become famous. Ultimately, I would like to see how the advancements of technology have affected the artistic views of those in the entertainment industry.

Three Things I Would Not Buy Online (Post 7)

 One thing that I would not buy online would be cars. Although there are websites that show cars that are available online and would make accessibility much more convenient for some, I just do not trust other dealers that have cars for sale, especially at a price that seems too good to be true. Being able to present a photo that may or may not be accurate to what the thing truly represents is way too easy to do, and the verification process for it is little to nonexistent. For all I know, a car could have missing pieces to it such as the steering wheel, the mirrors, some chairs, or even no car at all.  Another thing I would not buy online is prescription medication. There is a reason you should go to a doctor in order to get your medication. The doctor provides legitimate places and products for you to take and to have without any problems. Having myself buy products online without knowing what could be on it can be terrifying. You never know if the product is legit or laced b...

Virtual Scavenger Hunt (8)

 For this blog, the Virtual Scavenger Hunt consisted of using different website URL's and having your own work by trying to search up key terms in order to fulfill the objective given on the worksheet. Throughout this process, most of what you had to do ranged from easy searches such as finding three different websites that were specific online dating sites, to finding a specific name of someone who is related to another person in the class. Throughout this, I did not have a hard time finding many of the URL's needed for each question. It was relatively easy to find out and pinpoint which ones needed to go where. However, some were a bit more difficult to find out and to try and get. The questions that were provided were a little too specific. Although it is definitely possible to find out the answers to some of these questions, it would also take a while to find the exact answer since you would need to go through many other different websites to find it. Specifically, trying t...

AI (Post 6)

 My thoughts on AI would be on the good side, however I do believe that we should not gloss over the possibilities of how AI can negatively impact us. For the good side, I believe that AI can be beneficial for humanity because it can pretty much automate a lot of what people usually do. The era of automation is starting already, as there are stores that do not have a single employee in it and are completely digital. The only thing that a person might do in the store is check for maintenance to ensure that the orders are going through or if the security cameras are working as they should be. AI can also uncover footage that could be seen as too low quality. For example, there have been YouTube videos that are quite low resolution, such as 144p. At that quality, the viewer would just see a bunch of pixels and blur. It would be difficult for someone to process something very defined such as words or text as the pixels and blur would be troublesome to comprehend through. However with t...
