Had you heard about Russian bots before? What did you know before you read the article?
-No I had not heard of Russian bots before reading this article. What is the main goal of the bots? -The main goal is to defend against, deter, and raise costs on Russian and other actors efforts to undermine democracy and democratic institutions. What is the danger of the bots? Tell me about 3 negative effects. -They can divide America into factions causing turmoil in the main cities. -They undermine the American Government and make them look weak, causing people to lose faith. -It could cause a rebellion or even worse a full on civil war in America which would devastate the states. Why do you think people would spread misinformation and want to divide people? -I personally believe that the reason these bots are programed to spread this misinformation is to change the minds and views of others. For example someone that is pro guns might see all these bots and their views could in fact change from that to wanting gun restrictions as well. Have you heard about any solutions to this problem? Can you think of any? -I have not heard of any solutions but one that I can think of is that people need to become more educated on the fact that there is in fact fake news out there and they need to learn not to believe everything they see or read on the internet and even in some cases the TV.

Do you believe technology is a problem for our society? Is it a challenge for you? -I believe that we let technology become a problem in our lives. Human nature seeks out the need to release dopamine which is a drug that our brain releases to give us pleasure and happiness, and for many people they seek that out through the use of technology. So no, I believe that technology is not the problem and human nature is to blame for this huge controversy over tech. No it is not a problem for me due to the fact that I'm able to put my phone away to eat dinner with my family, keep it away during most conversations, as well as keep it away from my bed at night time. What problems concern you the most? -The one problem that concerns me the most is parents introducing their children to technology at such early ages. Introducing young children impacts their abilities to socialize in person with other people which will be detrimental effect on our society in the future. What rules (if any) do your parents give you about using technology? -There is really only one rule and that is get all chores done first. If/when you are a parent, what rules would you have for your children (if any)? -I would implicate the same rule that my parents have on myself. Are you concerned about the direction technology is taking us? Why or why not? -As technology advances our social skills become worse and worse. A study shows that we are reverting back to the cavemen days with how we communicate now. Thousands of years ago the human race had communicated through the use of pictures and we are slowly heading to that point of dialect due to emoji's. My only concern for the future of tech is our inevitable lack of proper writing. Which solution would you try for a week and why?
-I'd try going up and talking to someone or calling them on the phone rather than texting. |
