Luddites were against machines. Technological advancements are certainly beneficial to society; however, they also threaten people's jobs. In today's context, AI is taking away people's jobs just like machines did in the past. Nevertheless, AI is more serious because it not only takes people's jobs but also manipulates people's minds.

Social media is a key factor in my life. It affects my emotions both positively and negatively. With the knowledge I have gained in this class, I will protect myself from the negative aspects and contribute positively to social media.

The Wikipedia website discusses wage labor. I personally disagree with the criticism part. Wage labor is different from wage slavery, where people have a choice to determine what they want. If they work, they will get paid; if they don't want to work anymore, they can quit their jobs. People have free will in a labor market.

Surveillance capitalism can be beneficial or harmful. People's privacy is being sold by these companies through their data. People might feel pressured and threatened under these circumstances due to lack of privacy. On the other hand, they might feel more entertained since the app is more appealing to them by monitoring their preferences.

The source mentions Confucianism, where people, even if not punished, will feel ashamed because of their self-consciousness. When people do something wrong, they may experience such a strong sense of shame that they even consider extreme actions like suicide and can never forgive themselves.

I remember the time I felt ashamed four years ago when I lost a hockey speed competition. I sprained my ankle during the race, so I did not run as fast as I could. Even now, I can still recall it vividly.

Doxing can be extremely dangerous as it violates others' security and privacy. By providing someone else's personal information, individuals can be threatened, leading to fear of potential danger. I believe that any form of doxing should not be tolerated

Cyberbullying is very common in our daily lives. People post mean messages to others to make them feel bad and hurt, gaining satisfaction through this process. However, these actions should be banned. People might resort to extreme actions if they are deeply hurt. Intentionally hurting someone should be condemned, and individuals should face the consequences of their actions.

This website allows people to donate to different entities. This crowdsourcing platform is useful for people to make a small effort and form a huge contribution together. I think this type of donation should be utilized on hospital websites so more lives can be saved.

One type of crowdsourcing that I encounter every day is TikTok. People on TikTok often produce videos collaboratively. These videos usually contain high-quality content, making them more interesting. Crowdsourcing can benefit different media platforms by providing better content.

Spamming is annoying and disturbing. I receive a lot of spam calls and spam emails every day. I always need to deal with these messages every day. On my Android, I can automatically hang up on these calls when my phone identifies them as spam calls. I think this system is very useful.

I think quality control is extremely important. On TikTok, there is a lot of high-quality content that I really enjoy. On the other hand, I have also seen many low-quality contents which make my experience boring. As a result, quality control can decrease the amount of uninteresting content and increase the amount of high-quality content, making people's experience better. This control would increase the popularity of the app.

I was surprised by the "opinion vs. fact" section. I had assumed that individuals would be negatively affected by social platforms. However, the study suggests that there is no direct connection between well-being and social media use. Nevertheless, I still believe that certain individuals will be affected. For instance, I have personally been impacted by social media; I became more anxious when viewing others' lives online, and some hateful comments affected my mental health.

I think social media can heavily influence teenagers since they are not mature enough. Social media might alter their characteristics and personal values through different approaches. In terms of cyberbullying, it is even worse. There is a lot of cyberbullying happening every day. This action will drastically impact a person. One of the worst things that might happen is committing suicide.

I've seen many pictures of ancient animals and even humans. The revolution is mind-blowing and interesting. People evolved to be more intelligent. Animals evolved to be more adapted to their environment or habitat. I believe that evolution is unstoppable and that one day we will eventually be more intelligent.

I sometimes duplicate certain popular content by creating reaction videos. Furthermore, people often respond to my reaction videos. Additionally, when I come across interesting content, I forward videos to my friends. I believe that as long as it is legal and logical, it should be allowed.

The topic of Facebook surveillance is quite hot. I feel like it's spying on us every second, and we don't have the choice to be completely private. I've noticed that Facebook always asks me to connect with my friends using my contact number, and I really hate it. I think the government should implement security laws to protect citizens from certain surveillance.

TikTok and Instagram usually give me good recommendations. I love watching memes, funny videos, and pets on TikTok, and it always provides relevant videos for me to entertain myself. When I encounter videos I don't like, I can simply click the 'not interested' button. Instagram typically shows me sports-related ads because I follow many sports stars there.

Color blindness is a hereditary condition where people lack certain types of cones needed to distinguish colors. We should take special care of these individuals because they perceive things differently from us. It's important to be aware of this potential difference. As an example, I enjoy playing League of Legends, and I believe the color blindness mode has made significant efforts to improve the overall experience for those with color blindness.

I think we should take special care of people who are different from us. For example, for people with color blindness, we should acknowledge their difficulties and design specific functions that make things fair for them. We define what 'ordinary' is; as a result, we should also help other people who are not ordinary to be as fair as we can.

The CCTV operates similarly to social platforms. We sacrifice our privacy in exchange for security. While I don't like being monitored, however, I think that safety takes priority over privacy. The government can employ mass surveillance as long as it doesn't harm its citizens.

I completely agree with this statement. I'm aware that Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms monitor our screens to enhance our user experience. However, these algorithms are not informed to us. We are sacrificing privacy in exchange for a better experience.

This is very shocking. I feel like I'm being monitored, and my privacy is severely violated. I believe people should have the right to be equally treated and respected. In the article, it says that there is no way to stop Facebook from collecting data. This is also awful because people can't do anything about it unless no one in the family uses the internet. This topic needs to be carefully addressed since it is unjust.

I noticed this "surveillance" on TikTok and Instagram the most. I love browsing stuff online, and I realized that the advertisements are usually in a similar taste to mine. The content the platforms provide is exactly what I like. To be honest, I think this surveillance needs to be carefully treated since it might actually violate people's privacy.

I believe finding a balance between humor and offensiveness is extremely important. Personally, if a joke incites social unrest, then it becomes offensive. I consider Jaboukie's tweet to be amusing because it didn't harm anyone. However, I do believe that people should consider the consequences of their actions.

From my point of view, people troll because they seek attention, entertainment, or the feeling of power. On social platforms, people troll to gain likes or comments in order to become famous. Some people act badly so that others notice them and they can gain social influence. Some people find trolling entertaining because they enjoy the reactions they provoke.

This is very interesting to me. As a former President of the US, Trump tends to be very aggressive in political situations. He loves to express himself and spread his political influence. However, in some situations, he encourages rioting and anger even if he doesn't mean to. I witnessed the Capitol March in Washington, and it seemed that people in favor were somewhat out of control.

I found this to be really relevant to my personal experience. When I'm filling out certain anonymous surveys, I tend to respond dishonestly by selecting a set of answers. However, if the survey includes my name, I will answer it more honestly because I know my responses will be associated with my personal information. I've also noticed that people tend to cyberbully others using private accounts so they won't be traced. When people know their behavior won't be recorded, they are more likely to be inauthentic.

Social media is such an important factor in my life. In the US, I use Instagram and Snapchat the most to communicate with my American friends. On the other hand, I use WeChat and QQ the most in China to communicate with my Chinese friends. Furthermore, I witnessed many social media platforms for academic and business purposes. For example, I learned about sports education and commercials for products on Instagram. Social media has become a diversified platform for all users.

It is shocking to see that email was invented this early. I use email a lot, especially at school. I use it to contact my teachers and classmates in order to maximize efficiency. I enjoy using email because it is convenient and easy to use. However, I barely use email to contact my friends since I use social media the most.

As a Twitter user, I think that Twitter is a highly diverse platform for individuals to express themselves aruond the world. Users can gain valuable insights from the app. However, disinformation, racism, hate speech, and other negative phenomena are prevalent on the platform. Despite Twitter's efforts to ban accounts that violate its policies, these issues still require attention to prevent users from getting harmed.

Large numbers are typically simplified into integer forms to improve simplicity. For examples, on platforms such as Instagram or Twitter, numbers in the thousands are often abbreviated to "K". Presenting numbers as whole figures can make the interface a mess. Categorizing numbers effectively is crucial in data collection.

This is very shocking to me because one person has the ability to cause such a drastic impact to the ranking of apps. The article shows a woman using hundreds of iPhones in order to manipulate the rankings of apps in the App Store. This brings challenges to both normal users and Apple since it violates the integrity of apps in the Apps Store and the judgment of all the normal users.

This reminds me of those spam messages on my phone. I always receive messages that provide me with a link or contact information. I never clicked it but some of my friends did. They told me that they got cheated out of money by these bots. There are also fake followers on TikTok where a user has millions of followers, and part of them have a fixed username that is not active.

Water is one of the key elements in Taoism. One of the famous quotes by Lao Tzu is "The highest goodness is like water. Water benefits all things and does not compete." This quote taught me to become like water and don't hardly compete. I partially agree with the quote since people should obtain certain good traits from water; however, competition is not always bad. I think being competitive helps people to stay prepared and strong.

As a Chinese student, I have been heavily influenced by Confucianism, especially by reading numerous articles and quotes from Confucius. One of the most famous quotes can be translated as "No shame in asking questions, even to people of lower status." This quote helped me in my academic career. As I progress, I would encounter problems that I don't understand, I should ask questions regardless of people's status.
