Side Effects of Technology?

We are experiencing a very precious and aggravating time in human history where people seem to be in a more anxious mood than we have seen in a long time. It could be that politics is playing a large part in our lives and that nervousness that we have experienced is becoming a subliminal part of our lives. It can also be the technology that we have developed to be a part of our everyday lives.

We have developed films and TV shows that can make it very convincing that these things are real. The things we are presented on shows give us false narratives on how we as humans are allowed to act and how things are in the actual world. Media has made it hard to distinct which of our memories are from the media or our own. This has effected the way we raise our kids now, we still don’t know how this will effect them in the future. We as a society expect everything to be fast this includes media, although this can be helpful the fastest truth is not always the right truth.

We can see that the media has been corrupted by bias with the very places we get our media from. This extends to the major networks to the major social media platforms. All these platforms can encourage their own views on subjects that allow the truth to be extended or plain wrong.

How do we fix our own paranoias in this era?

How do we fix the major networks from showing bias news?

    These questions were great for the class! One way I think we could correct these networks would be to allow them to only give facts not opinions. I feel that big network industry shouldn’t broadcast fake news.
