We create these “facts” through a unique way of speaking and actingthat Searle calls the “declaration.”
This is interesting because society does decide what is factual or not by choosing whether we accept them or not, especially with new materials being studied. Everything is determined true or false, by us.

Women being able to break the glass ceiling within the work force, allowing for other women to be influenced and follow is powerful alone in itself.
crypto enthusiasts
People who became cypto enthusiasts before the boom of crypto currency must be glad because they made much money off of it.
Congratulations!Youjustwroteacomputer program!Howdoesitfeel?
I find it interesting how computer programming may be somewhat complicated yet many do it as if it is a language of their own.

Our civilization has advanced rapidly to think that years ago in the past, things like "wireless", and "computers" did not exist and in other civilizations they still do not.

New technologies allow for new outlets of media to develop. Many of these outlets are often inaccurate, yet multiple people either believe or are influenced by them
Crawford worries that Uber will rapidly monopolize urban ride services while avoiding regulation and taxes.
Although riding services like uber are convenient, these companies often under pay workers, as well as take other driving companies out of business because of their occasional deals and overall ease of service.

I cannot imagine working hard for this wage, this seems impossible.. it's sad how it is reality for many.
Seventy percent of what people are watching is the recommended videos on the right hand side
The recommended videos are meant to keep us watching, it uses our data to send us our own interests. It's insane because it is like it knows what every user would like to see.
." Amazon will soon know when you need lightbulbs right before they burn out.
This is extremely accurate because Amazon already has developed "smart light bulbs" that connect with Alexa. Voice commands allow the light to turn on and off.
a privacy right
Privacy rights often are not as protective as they seem, for example, much of users personal data is often sold in exchange for money.
Almost everything is stored in a computersomewhere
Information provided and kept in computer records is often considered controversial because many view it as an invasion of privacy. This information is important however because it allows companies, businesses, etc to have accurate insight on their users.
The tower was built directly on top of the High Line and designed to accommodate it, with a grand pedestrian passageway running through the base.
The passageway did no disappoint, the scenery walking through is beautiful. Taking in all the amazing architecture passing through. I was surprised it wasn't too crowded.
This is Hudson Yards, the largest private real-estate development in United States history and the test ground for the world’s most ambitious experiment in “smart city” urbanism.
It is really a sight to see in the city, I've been around the area a few times. Never realized the amount of money, time, and thought of smart technology went into this. And there is still more to come.
Users were constituted as an unpaid workforce, whether slaves orvolunteers is something for reasonable people to debate.
This is something to point out how we are feeding into the corporations ways and they are using our data that we put out for profit. No one gets paid as the user, but the organizations use us to declare what is the future.
Indeed, the twomost technologically advanced economies, t heUS and Japan, both display a l ow rate of u n e m-ployment.
This is great sign to see because technology is growing more there will be more available jobs for people. Countries will try to strive to become more technologically advanced, boosting the economies.
But as time passed, and profit objectives were required to be met, slowly but surely we saw big changes. It’s considered free, but we do exchange our personal information (browsing/shopping habits) mostly unconsciously.
This is a great part of the article. It is true that this is not free because we are putting our information up there and the companies profit from our content. This also works with social media, with every like, view and post.
No Web phenomenon is more confounding than blogging. Everything media experts knew about audiences – and they knew a lot – confirmed the focus group belief that audiences would never get off their butts and start making their own entertainment.
This is nice to see blogs definitely made me interest in reading things that I find entertaining. Also, blogs had a big role in creating vlogs on youtube. Vlogs are the video blogs of a person doing whatever they do but showing it in their perspective. It is crazy to see how popular they are, and some people still don't see the point or entertainment.
Three months later, Netscape’s public offering took off, and in a blink a world of DIY possibilities was born. Suddenly it became clear that ordinary people could create material anyone with a connection could view.
This is a great moment, it seems like it launched some imagination on to people. It made it so that they can have their thoughts and expressions in a larger space for people to view.

I appreciate the shut down of the phrase, " a computer is like a brain". This is very interesting to see how the brain would reroute itself and the computer simply won't work or cause an error.
Whenyou place an order at a drive-through station at a fast food restaurant, theperson taking the order may be in another state.
Is this true? I always thought it was the person waiting for me at the window with my food.
