How does technology impact your life?

Technology impacts my life on the daily basis. I use it on multiple occasions, such as enjoyment, social media, school work, and so much more.  It can impact me in good and bad ways. Such as if i'm using it late at night if it affects my whole day in the morning, because i got no sleep. But i use tech for school and it benefits me and the school at the same time.

Tech can benefit my future in multiple ways, just like those tiktokers and you tubers, they make dumb videos everyday and they make tons of money of it, and it because of technology. Now a bad impact would be if i did something wrong and it went off on social media and i was getting attacked online for it then it would impact not only my social life, but my work life as well.

Here are a couple of links for negative affects of technology.

The role of big tech companies is major, without them we wouldnt have what we have today and its a good yet bad thing. We would be ten times better off without it, but technology makes our lives ten times easier.

Technology can shape your future in mainly a good way but can also be a bad way. it can make getting a degree online easier, it can help you make money on the side easier, all that type of stuff.

Technology does so much for everyone. IT brings all the information to everyone on the planet. If something new happens like that involves the kardashians or something everyone will know because of news reports and news apps. They bring you information within the second.

What shapes your beliefs and values?

As a fellow columbian , i know that i have my own beliefs than what my family tries to feed my brain.  Good manners are extremely important for Colombians. Roman Catholicism is the state religion, and about 95% of the population belong to the Church. Religious freedom is, however, protected by the Constitution. In their free time, Colombians enjoy going to parks, movies, discos, and friend's houses.

My beliefs and values impact my life by changing my point of view, and how i see things differently.  It changes how eveything that happens to me is viewed.

- Catholicism (70.9%)
- Protestantism (16.7%)
- Jehovah's Witnesses and Adventism (2.0%)
- Claim to believe in God but do not follow a specific religion (4.0%)
- Atheist or agnostic (5.0%)
- Other (1.0%)

It is always important to engage with people of other cultures so you can always learn different things that you can use in the future. Its always good to know things you didn't know in the first place.

Where i live supports all beliefs and religions, it is all a perfect mixture of everything within the society. So there is never discrimination between cultures, beliefs, and more.

How can you acquire power so that you can change the world around you?

Everyone has power, no matter how small it is. You acquire this power by always working hard. Such as government, they have power over us in a ton of ways, they control everything. One way that the federal government can influence the states is through the distribution of grants, incentives, and aid. State and local governments are eager to obtain federal dollars, but many of those dollars come with strings attached.

Our families and parents have authority over us all the time, i mean they tell us what to do all the time because they have power over us, and we have to do what we are told.

Things like this are all the same in every culture, even the columbian culture. Its common sense you cant change that.

Oscar Gonzales under the name Guache, has made this and many other similar piece of art, they are very colorful pieces of art that all have a backstory correlating with the struggles Columbia goes through on a daily basis.

in the past art wasnt too joyful or colorful, and now that people know how to express themselves more with art, my generation has bettered the art world in an aspect. Before it was really cool, dark, gloomy type of look. But now its more of a perfect mixture of everything.

I enjoy all aspects of my culture, i love the food, the art, the beliefs, the traditions, the celebrations. Its all so interesting and different and just so fun. I love it.

Out of everything i would have to say that the most impactful   would be the language, the food, and the traditions and what i stick with the most, they're so interesting and they have some things in common with other cultures but they're still totally different at the same time.

All the way at the top is one of the most commonly known columbian art.
