Positives and Negatives of Technology -B1 by Janelle Schaeffer https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k en-us 2020-09-17 18:12:12 UTC 2021-02-20 04:49:18 UTC hello@padlet.com Wrist watching- Amazon has 2 patents for wristbands that can track the exact location of their employees. The wristband's receiver system would rely on radio frequencies or ultrasonic pulses to monitor the device's specific location. They would use a haptic feedback to alert a worker that they're in the wrong location. The wristband can identify whether the worker picks up an item from the bin instructed, or places it in the right location. I think that this puts too much pressure on the workers and Amazon should just trust that they know what they're doing. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218807722 2021-02-19 13:43:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218807722 Cyberbullying https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218810270 2021-02-19 13:43:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218810270 helps expand education abilities https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218811420 2021-02-19 13:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218811420 False Information being spread through social media platforms constantly https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218814638 2021-02-19 13:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218814638 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218816586 Medical research]]> 2021-02-19 13:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218816586 spread urgent news around fast https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218817175 2021-02-19 13:46:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218817175 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218818234 Has been linked to depression sometimes]]> 2021-02-19 13:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218818234 Certain electronic devices such as the Amazon Alexa can listen in on conversations by hearing a word that sounds similar to whatever makes them start listening https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218820175 2021-02-19 13:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218820175 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218822549 In the Advances of Future technology video it gives so many examples on how future technology would benefit our society but my favorite has to be the first example. The kids from different cultures who speak different langues could write stuff on this clear board and it would translate what they were saying, so they could have conversations and work together on things. ]]> 2021-02-19 13:47:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218822549 Quickly finding information through google etc. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218822882 2021-02-19 13:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218822882 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218833872 Although the Alexa has so many benefits it also has it's negative effects. Alexa has been recording peoples private conversations which can lead to many things such as hacking credit cards, social security numbers, and many other things. ]]> 2021-02-19 13:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218833872 Social media platforms can tend to blow news stories out of proportion making a certain side of the story look really bad or really good https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218837283 2021-02-19 13:52:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218837283 Positives https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218840636 The main positive of technology is convenience. There is no questioning it, technology has made life a lot easier for almost everyone. It allows us to learn anything at anytime and do almost anything. communicate, educate, entertaining, anything. ]]> 2021-02-19 13:53:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218840636 Negatives of technology https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218852073 In my opinion there are 2 major downsides of technology. Privacy and mob mentality. Now for the first one, privacy. The introduction of gps and location tracking have been a disaster to the human race. Everyone has a phone, and that phone can track everything. Your voice, location, and now your face. Social media is also the biggest contributor. You can put in your information just to look at some pictures. these companies then sell your information to countries and companies for ads. Then the mob mentality. These groups of people all connected, usually apart of one fandom, can go and pretty much destroy the life of anyone for any reason, no matter how truthful or severe. These groups of mostly women ages 12-24, can destroy peoples entire career over small mistakes. They believe they are bringing justice on the world, but all they do is enable the removal of people with different ideologies. ]]> 2021-02-19 13:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218852073 Negative effects of Technology include problems with Amazons Alexa assistant recording private conversations, can cause teens mental health to decline, social media platforms can lead to cyberbullying, and some children and young adults can become so addicted to technology that they stop focusing on the world around them. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218859036 2021-02-19 13:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218859036 Positive https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218862548 A major positive is that technology allows you to communicate and connect with others almost anywhere. Things like a mobile phone allow almost anyone to send messages to anyone is seconds. Emails, texts, calls, and more can be made basically anywhere thanks to technology.]]> 2021-02-19 14:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218862548 Negative https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218874772 Technology can remove almost all privacy. Some examples can be as simple as people oversharing online, however, this is nothing compared to some ways that technogy removes our privacy. Our location can be tracked, our private converstaions can be recorded, our cameras can watch us, and so on. Because of this, one small mistake can lead to major problems.]]> 2021-02-19 14:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218874772 Positive effects of Technology include the easy availability to look up information, ability to communicate with others through a cellphone, emailing, or texting. Technology also provides many problem solving possibilities such as google or youtube if you need to find information or how to do something. Technology has become a huge part of our everyday lives and it has become convenient for us to use. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218882132 2021-02-19 14:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218882132 A major positive aspect that technology itself is leading researchers and inventors create extra support for the visually impaired persons. They are helping this initiative by enhancing navigation systems and other similar virtual reality experiences. For example, when watching the video of the trial participants using a new innovation to navigate their way through a London subway station, they talked about how these kinds of factors can lead to easier success for them to get from one place to another. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218944741 2021-02-19 14:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218944741 A negative aspect that can be identifed relating to technology and its motives is its ability to allow users to post anything on any kind of media platform for the whole world to see. This in many ways can influence audiences negatively in spite of reading misinformation, and spreading news that is not meant to be opinionized due to the external appearance of it. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218964601 2021-02-19 14:28:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1218964601 One positive effect of technology is that it could cause many normal aspects of life to be evolved through technology. For example, a newspaper is not very useful right now since phones already exist with information about the news. To solve this, newer versions of technology could evolve the newspaper into something with holographic screens so more people would look forward to get newspapers. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219238676 2021-02-19 15:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219238676 One negative effect of technology is that it has more opportunities to invades people's privacy the more it evolves. For example, it has been found out that Amazon Alexa can record your conversations and send them to other people without you knowing. Another negative effect of technology is that it negatively affects people's mental health since social media can expose people to cyber bullying, which increases the rate of suicide. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219310212 2021-02-19 15:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219310212 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219373633 Technology can entertain people and bring them joy. When people had to go into quarantine and couldn't leave their houses, they could watch Youtube for entertainment, communicate through social media, and play games to keep themselves occupied.]]> 2021-02-19 16:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219373633 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219400946 A positive example of the effects of Technology is allowing to further interactions with other people. With technology expanding that means there are new ways to interact with others. ]]> 2021-02-19 16:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219400946 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219405082 One negative example of the effects of Technology is for loss of jobs. When technology expands this means that humans are being pushed out and get replaced by machines that can do their job better. This is one negative effect of technology.

Technology is creating so many things to also help the science world, which can truly change the world. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219963135 2021-02-19 18:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219963135 Some examples of negative effects of technology are it is what a lot of people spend their time on, it is decreasing people's connection with the real world, and it is increasing depression in many. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219970571 2021-02-19 18:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1219970571 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220028066 An exam]]> 2021-02-19 18:54:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220028066 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220034968 A positive effect of technology includes how it can spread word quickly, allowing for more efficiency in the workplace. It is also a good safety tool. Parents can communicate with their kids quickly, and alerts about missing children are sent out a lot faster. Another positive effect that technology has includes being able to communicate and share information with each other. Many scientists are able to bounce information off of one another from different areas across the world. By allowing scientists to communicate like this, extraordinary innovations have the potential to be made and it’s all because of technology.]]> 2021-02-19 18:56:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220034968 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220077194 One of the negative effects of technology is its effect on children. The internet is a vast universe full of entertainment, information, and much more things. When children are exposed to this, it can become overwhelming. There are hardly any limits regarding what they can or cannot see when they are on the internet. One big thing that has a negative effect on children is social media. Social media can be a great way to share what is important to you, but social media also enables children to feel poorly about themselves. There is a certain confidence that comes about when you gain a lot of “likes” on social media’s like Facebook and Instagram. Because of this, children are being taught that if they don’t have a lot of likes then they aren’t important, and that has a detrimental effect on their mental health. The likes become the thing that is most important to them, and they try to change themselves in irreversible ways.]]> 2021-02-19 19:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220077194 Over-reliance https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220117894 A potential negative effect of technology is the ever growing reliance on technology for everyday life. Many people wake up and fall asleep using some form of technology and it can dramatically change their sleeping patters. Less sleep leads to less productivity and other negative mental and physical health side-effects. Even in social situations, many people rely on some form of technology as a means of escapism from their current situation. All together, the reliance on technology as a whole can prevent people from navigating the current fast-paced world.]]> 2021-02-19 19:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220117894 One good thing about technology is it makes information more accessible. It is super easy to look something up and get accurate answers within seconds. There is a downside, however, and that is the potential spreading of false information. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220137559 2021-02-19 19:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220137559 One major positive of Technology is that it has been helping peopel who are disabled or have health issues.

Someone can hide behind a screen and pick on someone which is wrong. Also, social media can portray false narratives of lives people live. It can also cause jealousy, hate, and make someone feel bad about themselves. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220732485 2021-02-20 00:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220732485 One positive effect of technology is that it opens up new ways for humans to experience different cultures. Additionally, technology can help us advance our society, specifically our infrastructure. For example, the designs of energy efficient buildings can be created and shared through technology. https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220778894 2021-02-20 01:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220778894 https://padlet.com/jschaeffer/y0b1kqyizqeapq6k/wish/1220817200 Technology allows us to accomplish things much more efficiently through better communication.
