Identify Yourself

             This site identifies and describes the relationship between a person and their computer. The main exploration is how we trust out computers to make decisions for us, arguing that they do not have the human features such as compassion that would make the best decisions for us. Although you can personalize your computer in order to let it know what kind of actions and decisions you would like it to take, it still is not able to factor in all elements that another human would be able to do.
             Another problem addressing is the trust we display with the internet. The internet is a scary world in which once you release something into the World Wide Web, rather purposefully or by mistake, it is in its files forever. Yes, you can delete it from the page but it is within the web's archive that are reachable. Social Media is booming and everyone is uploading their bios, pictures, location, plans, and even more information that could be harmful. We are telling anything and anyone everything about our lives, even those we would never tell.
           They touch base of the idea of our quick addiction to technology and the internet. Yes, it has allowed for a world wide spread of information as well as allowing you to communicate with anyone anywhere. This feature assists is academically, in the business world, in our social life, and within many other aspects of life. Sadly, we have taken this privilege too far at moments. We "cannot live" without our technology and social media sources. Taking a cell phone, computer or ipod from anyone would leave them feeling lost and panic driven. This is continually developing our societal view as a need for more, out gimme gimme gimme world.
