Blog post 5- WEEK 2: Diffusion of Innovations

(COM-1450-01)


When I think of a new innovation I think of artificial intelligence. I think of this because it is so new we are still finding out new things every day. When I apply the diffusion theory I think it has caught on and spread so fast because it was unlimited potential for problem-solving. Humans have lots of problems and AI can find solutions we could never have thought of.


So many people hoped for the AI wave because many people want to see what it could bring to the table. Those people found out quickly that this new technology is going to change the world. I think some people are late adopters because they didn't hear about it like others or they were scared of what could come from it. 


 Some downsides could be that people lose their lives because a robot goes crazy or was programmed wrong. Another downside could be that a crazy person gets their hands on this technology and uses it for bad instead of good. 


There could be many benefits endless even. I look at it as if you have any problem you put a bunch of data into the technology and it gives you answers you never could have thought of.

 

I do think the positive would out weight the negative but again I do think it all depends on who is working on the technology and what their motive is.


I weigh the cost-benefit analysis with the new communication technology by thinking about the endless good this new technology could bring to the world and how with the right minds doing the job this could be the answer to life's most interesting questions.

History and workings of the U.S. Supreme Court

Garrett Norberg 6-19-22 (COM-1450-01) I did not know that the supreme court was established in 1789. Also, I had no idea they have the power of judicial review over local, state, executive and legislative decisions. Furthermore, I learned that the supreme court is led by a Chief Justice who is essentially the manager of the rest of the group.  The most important take-away that I took from the supreme court information is about their appointment. They are nominated by the president and must be confirmed by the senate. This makes this process very politically motivated. I remember seeing all over the news information about Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. I now better understand why there was such an issue about Trump.  There were many surprising and new things that I learned. One of the most was that the justices have lifetime appointments which means they will serve until they die. I also learned that the Chief Justice oversees the president's impeachment trials. I recal...

Blog post 6- The progressive era.

  Garrett Norberg June 22, 2022 (COM-1450-01) I can safely say that I have never seen or heard an anti-war supporter on tv. I think this is because when it comes to war whether being in one or supporting one as a country it’s mostly about money. I think when it comes down to it really when war is happening between two countries theres only two objectives win and make money doing it.  I also think there is no showing of anti-war on tv because we are mainly fighting small groups of terrorists in comparison to a whole country. We send drones in with guns and missiles and just destroy the terrorists. Another reason that there haven't been any anti-war supporters is that the draft for our military hasn't happened for years. During the Vietnam War, there were a huge number of protests and anti-war supporters. Let's just say we were to go to war with Mexico in two days you better believe if the American people know this is going to happen it will be all over every screen in Americ...
