Over break I am excited to spend time with my family and friends from high school. I am planning to work a bit more since I am not right now. Since there is actually snow back home in Vermont I am planning to go to the mountain with my brother and friends.
https://www.powtoon.com/c/cBccZcvmydi/1/m The software I used for this project was Powtoon which is a animation website where you can create fun videos. It took me about two days to complete this, one day to figure out what I wanted to do and another to complete it and make sure it was polished. I felt like setting up how I wanted it to look went well. I would change the time requirements just because I felt like I had a good…
I found one of the main sources I will be using on CQ Researcher. The source is titled “Computers and Medicine: Can consumers’ health records be kept private?” This source looks at the major impact that technology has on healthcare, this article was published in 2000 so It is a bit older but it still has good information about health records, privacy, and computers. The next source I will be using I found on ProQuest titled “Big Data in Medicine…
There has been large debate today about if Big Data is a positive or a negative. The biggest concern for many people is that Big Data is an invasion of privacy that big companies do not see as an issue. For example in a 2009 interview with Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt he states that “If you’re doing something that you don’t want other people to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.” Schmidt’s view on the…
I have never actually though of the idea of big data. But after reading these articles it all seems to make sense. Big data is always there, taking notes on what we search and how many times we do so. For example, when I wanted to buy a new car and was looking at multiple car dealer website I saw ads on my facebook for car dealerships soon after. The big data related to me is personal because it is…
Snapchat is always being used on me. My user is sending images of herself all the time throughout the day. When she gets bored she always checks instagram, once that gets boring too she will check facebook, and then twitter. My favorite time is when she goes places in her car because I get to play music. I have a lot of apps on here but I don’t know if she knows if they exist because she only uses the…
Jean M. Twenge, a psychologist, has been researching generational differences for 25 years. In her Atlantic article “Have Smartphones Destroyed A Generation?” she focuses on the iGen generation of teens compared to previous generations such as the Millennials. When studying the generational differences she noticed in 2012 that there were drastic differences and shifts in teens behavior. Twenge observes, “Around 2012, I noticed abrupt shifts in teen behaviors and emotional states. The gentle slopes of the line graphs became steep…
In my biology lab we have to annotate our prelabs, so I have been using different techniques that we have learned in class for annotation. Also in my environmental issues class we have to do chapter summaries and using the templates from “They Say, I Say” will be helpful to improve my writing.
RIP 2014 self, you didn’t need to share absolutely everything because literally no one cared.
video link: https://youtu.be/3DTmuawKn94 I used iMovie because I feel like visuals are a good thing to look at during a video presentation. A podcast can sometimes get boring because there isn’t anything to look at. I didn’t really spend any time learning to use the software. I spent around 30-60 minutes drafting the presentation. I spent around 30 minutes editing the project.
