Privacy Online and off

 Privacy Online & Off



My family hasn't been personally hacked or anything but I know many people that have been and it ruins their life some but it normally just is in inconvenience to some ones life to have to go through the process of getting stuff back or having to start from scratch, because they had to change all new accounts. The information in the videos was very alarming in some aspects. For example the faces company selling millions of face identifications to Facebook and nothing was really done about it. I truly never heard anything about it really and that's pretty significant, just having them be able to sell that information without any notice to the people is alarming. Then the fact that there is only like three things that is really protected from anyone to see, and its only apple friendly or WhatsApp. I am very happy to know that my iPhone does that, but now knowing that everything else isn't secured is scary. The government should be looking into ways so that everything is like apple and WhatsApp where everything is more protected and safe from potential danger. First thing, anyone should do, is tell them about the protection the three ways of communication have for you and your family. Also I would and tell others to create new passwords for each account every so often so that it is less likely for something to be hacked into.

In the age of AI

 In The Age Of AI Right from the beginning I knew it was gonna be an interesting video because one of the first things said was, we're not searching google but their searching us. This makes total sense just because the amount of personalized ads that happen throughout the day, that are specifically targeting something I am looking for or something that I had talked about recently. I truly don't know how ads pop up randomly for something I was just thinking about the other day, this just creates more doubt in how truly safe are we using the internet or electronic devices. On the plus side though, AI has benefitted tremendously with work in the medical field. What i mean is that, they were able to use technology to scan through hundreds of patients and after the AI goes through them with code installed to check for certain things within the documents, to determine results of cancer, like if they have it or could be developed in the next few years. This is huge for the community

Bluetooth

 What Is Even Bluetooth? First off, whenever I think of Bluetooth, I think of the car, wireless headset, cell phone, and so many other devices, but truly until now, I had no clue what Bluetooth really was and how it even worked. It all started in 1994 when Dr. Jaap Haartsen had the task to figure out how to find short range radio connections. He used UHF radio waves to create technology able for Bluetooth, but he also had to make sure it was able to hop through the WIFI because it used the same frequency to make it as reliable as possible. Interestingly enough, ever since, that year they created the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) to help advance the technology as we progress, and involves many leaders from leading tech companies. This all happened because the discovery of radio waves, if there was no such thing, we wouldn't have many things we use in our daily lives. The progression of radio waves started from Heinrich Hertz proving a past scientists theory on radio waves,
