Last Tuesday, we have watched a video called “lost memories”. It was filmed in France. It talks about how technology takes away the time we spend with our loved ones. One day, if your digital stream collapse, all the pictures, and videos we had we will be lost. Tomorrow will never be the same. We will lose all the memories we had. In the video, they asked a question. After the electromagnetic storm wiped out the entire digital data in the world; mails, photos, videos, web, market data had been lost. What do you have left? It really caught me to think maybe it is time to get rid of technologies and spend time with our family and friends.
On Thursday, we have also talked about Slacktivism. It is a actions performed via the internet in support of a political or social cause but regarded as requiting little time or involvement. For example, Facebook and Twitter allows people to like, share, and twitted anything interesting they saw on the internet. People can now express their concern about social or political issues with nothing more than just clicking the mouse. I think it works because it is better to do nothing. Furthermore, some of the post might catch people’s attention. People can receive tons of information online and choose which event they want to engage more. I think it is not a bad idea. We also talked about ALS ice bucket. I did not join the ALS ice buckle challenge even though some of my friends asked me to do it. I do not like the way people get pressured to do it.
