When it comes to our privacy and AI some of the pros are bringing us closer to a future where we can easily purchase food anywhere with just a picture of our face. Another pro would be when AI technology is ready around the world there will be more security for capturing criminals. Some of the cons of AI would be the new technology on people's phones and in

their homes allows companies to track everything they do. Another con is that these huge companies like

Facebook and Google have gathered so much information about everyone in the world and it has given

them too much power and could be very bad if this information ends up in the wrong hands. For national security and AI I really think it is a good thing. With these companies that have multiple

cameras for police.  I believe crime will go down by an immense amount. Many people are scared that

big companies like Google have all the information in the world about us. But on a positive note, I look

at it as if you have nothing to hide what are you scared of? The information gathered on you can be used

to narrow in on your likes for shopping and vacations.

With the new laws that we're passed the right to know and

the right to say no. The right to know is the right to go to any company and ask them what information

that company has gathered about you over the last twelve months. The right to say no is the right to be

able to go onto any company’s website and stop them from selling your information to other companies.

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...
