The Internet has changed the way we make decisions. More and more, it is not individual humans who decide but an entangled, adaptive network of humans and machines. \u00a0(W. Daniel Hillis \u00a0229)<\/p>\n
This quote resonates with me most among the rest. After I started using the internet online shopping because a very convenient way to gather what I need\/wanted. I think shopping online has a way of changing the way you make decisions. Not even shopping, but ads. Your computer remembers sites you\u2019ve visited and even certain products that you\u2019ve checked out. Next time you\u2019re on your computer on any site that allows ads, you\u2019ll see that product pop up reminding you of you\u2019re interest in it. A step further would be Alexa. Alexa listens to conversations and organizes advertisements strictly based off of eavesdropping. Another example that I thought of was recommended videos or songs on different streaming platforms. Humans write algorithms in the form of code for the computers and they process and provide you with suggestions of media you might like based off of what you\u2019re already watching of listening to.<\/p>\n
Before I used the internet my mom bought everything for me so, there\u2019s that. I was outside a lot and the only music I listened to was whatever my dad was playing around the house\u2026. And also an Arron Carter CD.<\/p>\n
The Joy of Just-Enoughness\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Judith Rich Harris<\/p>\n A brief analogy of how the Internet dispenses information like a ketchup bottle dispenses ketchup. A little information at first then a ton of information all at once. Then there\u2019s the in-between time when you\u2019re getting just enough. I think that\u2019s the time when I was first using the Internet. The excitement to get online and see what you can do and find. Now it becomes just a necessity for a lot of aspects of life. Shopping, studying, applying for jobs etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Internet has changed the way we make decisions.
