Blog post 7- privacy online and off

(COM-1450-01)

I watched the video about revenge porn. These issues affect me because watching that video was very scary to think someone would actually blackmail another person with pictures of them naked. This could also affect me in the future because when I have kids I would like for there to be laws set in place so if some guy is threatening my daughter he can get put in prison. With friends and family, I think it affects my family because my parents and brother would be so ashamed if  I were to ever do that to a woman. With friends, I know none of mine would ever do such a nasty act but I hope if they were to ever even think of it they would know the consequences. 

The government should be making laws right now to put creepy guys like her ex in prison. There should be laws defending the women of our country from digital domestic abuse. They should also allow quick action to help any woman who feels threatened. 

Some things we can do to protect ourselves from an invasion of privacy are to put any important personal information out on the internet or all over social media. We can also use VPN services so people cant track you or your passwords or anything important to your life or your family’s.

Blog post 5- WEEK 2: Diffusion of Innovations

Garrett Norberg June 26, 2022 (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 ...

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...
