Privacy Week: 11

 After watching Juan Enriquez Ted talk I started to feel like I have heard something similar to it in the past. It reminded me of what my dad used to tell me and that was if you put something online it stays there. He always told me to be careful about what I post because it could affect my future. Juan talked about how tattoos were just like the internet as they both tell a story about who you are as a person. The internet is just like Juan said an “electronic tattoo” that you can’t get rid of. Another great thing he brought up was facial recognition which I even use myself and would have never thought twice about how powerful it could be. If someone were to use it against me and scan my face they could get all my records and information. Also, companies like Google, Facebook, Instagram, and more are finding out so much about us and what we like by tracking our history and what we are interested in. The internet is finding out more and more about us every time we enter it. It important that we are cautious about how we use it and use safe websites. I learned that companies like google take a lot of our information and use it to interest us more. Overall it is very important how you use information because it is constantly taking information from us to learn about us and what we are like which could be bad if it got in the wrong hands. Also if you think that something is not smart to post then it probably is not and it could cost you a job. Everything is permanent on the internet even if you delete it is most likely still out there somewhere. The main takeaway from this is that it’s extremely important to teach people now and definitely at a young age to be careful about what they post because it could affect them in the future.

Podcast EOTO

       I have always really enjoyed listening to podcasts so when we were assigned this project I knew I wanted to talk about the history of podcasts. It all started in 2004 by Adam Curry and Dave Winer who developed the software. He made a program that allowed them to download the podcast onto their iPods. This was very beneficial to them and by the next year, there were a lot of companies that started to recognize them and saw how much potential podcasting could be. One of the biggest companies that recognized them was Apple and they put out their iTunes 4.9 update which allowed people to listen to podcasts. Podcast development started to continue to grow and became a great source of information throughout the years. Moving all the way to 2013 Apple said that they had 1 billion podcast subscriptions which is a very impressive number. Podcasting continues to keep growing and as of 2019, there had been around 90 million Americans were listening to podcasts daily and 165 million people

Supreme Court

    The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) was established by the Constitution as an essential part of the checks and balances system. It is the highest court in the country and the head of the judicial branch of government (1). The Supreme Court has the responsibility of ruling on the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. It also has the power to check on the other two branches of government, the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch (2). The Court holds the power of judicial review, the ability to invalidate a statute for violating a provision of the Constitution. (3).  When first established, the Supreme Court judges were also responsible for serving on circuit courts in the thirteen states. There are presently nine Supreme Court justices, which has been a consistent number since 1869. With all the current buzz about the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett and the idea of Democrats, in retaliation, packing the court, I decided to take a look to see if this was an issue in the past. Th

Week 13 EOTO

  After listening to group 2 present I found that mainstream media was very fascinating to me. Mainstream media is one is really how everyone gets their daily information whether that be from a newspaper or tv. Considering we tend to see this mainstream media every day it has a huge impact on how we live our lives. A lot of media can be very biased so it’s important to what you should listen to and believe. There are different news stations that are very biased in what they believe and talk about so it’s important to understand which ones are before you listen to them. If you tend to maybe listen to Fox News a lot and go over to watch CNN it might sound very different to what you have listened to on Fox News. And the reason for that is because both these news stations have very different opinions. A lot of the mainstream media only cares about getting good ratings even if they are not putting out the best content. Mainstream media can be a huge positive for people that want to be able
