This piece of knowledge is really fascinating for me]]> 2023-08-12 16:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660667988 https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660668072 While I thought I was aware and on top of many issues in technology, in truth I was just scratching the surface. This class has given me much more to think about and share. Thank you for all your thoughts and insights!

I wasn't able to have an insight to think about this issue before. But I that I am aware, this concerns me that there are still many different genres of video games giving a wrong message especially to young children. ]]> 2023-08-12 16:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660668556 yg2877 https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660668561 Learning about how technology can hijack people's mind. Are we still in control of technology, or is it subtly controlling us? It's a pressing question for our times.]]> 2023-08-12 16:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660668561 https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660668620 The development of AI was both incredible and frightening at the same time. I did not realize how deeply the AI was affecting us online, and this course shed some light in both the potential benefits and concerns relating to AI.]]> 2023-08-12 16:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660668620 https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660668701 I've been interested in Biases in Technology like AI. The issue that AI can be biased has been the one I've been studying about and during the class, I could deepen my thoughts and insights about the issue. Also, as a instructional/game designer intern, I could reflect myself about the Dark patterns because that's what I've never noticed about and I think as a designer, I should definitely consider about that. It was really meaningful to think about various ethical issues about technology.]]> 2023-08-12 16:09:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660668701 ys3703 https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660669899 It is interesting to see a cycle inside social media and other technology design that the social stereotypes are embedded in these tech and information conveyed by the tech again deepen our stereotypes. So how can the designers bring up the marginalized voice?]]> 2023-08-12 16:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660669899 https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660670534 I'm truly fascinated by the ethical questions tied to Artificial Intelligence, virtual realities, video games, and cyberspace. These matters are all connected and kind of mixed up together. It's also pretty awesome to notice how technology is becoming easier for everyone to use, especially for folks with disabilities. I think technology really has the power to change so much in our lives, and I look forward to see more topics regarding the relationship between technology and disabilities.]]> 2023-08-12 16:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mb5102_1/y6wlro4z91vxj58i/wish/2660670534
