Wait... Computers Haven't Always Weighed 3 Pounds?

https://www.wired.com/review/apple-macbook-air-2018/ As a whole, technology has evolved in ways that one point, were likely unimaginable. While at one point technology was just an added asset to the way in which we contacted distant people and relayed information from one source to another, it has now become a crucial element to the way in which we function entirely. In my portion of the technology timeline, I studied the first computer and its impact on today’s society. The very first idea of a computer was formed in 1822 by a man named Charles Babbage. He actually invented all of the parts that are now used for a modern computer. With that being said, it wasn’t until about 120 years later that the first modern computer was actually invented. This computer was invented in the early 1930’s by a man named Konrad Zuse. He created 2 versions calling them Z1 and Z2. Z2 was actually the first electro-mechnical computer in the world, however by our standards today we’d hardly call it ...

As stable change suggests, if people don’t have an open opportunity to express these opinions, they are significantly ...

PROPOGANDA One of the other groups presentations that really stuck out to me was the Awareness group. As a whole, I found that their individual topics were interesting, but I especially remember the section on Propaganda. I felt as though the examples that the group used were very fascinating and helped me to better visualize what exactly propaganda is. While I have heard of this and have seen a few examples in the past, I haven’t seen most of the ones that this group presented. Propaganda can be defined as “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.” This inevitably has had a huge impact on society due to the fact its persuasive and captivating ways. Although this concept was revolutionized in the time of WW1, it has continued to be recognized as an election strategy in today’s political climate.  (I liked how the presenter also showed us a bunch of examples and had us guess what the...
