  • Good afternoon I read meeting 23 of 26
  • So I want to mention so we're told talk generally about
  • computer crimes etc today so I want to mention apologize for
  • the website issues over the weekend so I have a version I
  • have a program that I run I can run well I'm using Jekyll to
  • build my website
  • anyone familiar with Jekyll? One person okay
  • but I am a static site generator so I have to build the website
  • and I have versions on my laptop like check the bug and then I
  • publish the version of the website when I'm satisfied that
  • I realized when I was publishing house the local program. So I
  • think
  • files were commingled. The ones that have been referenced in the
  • last website so your URLs, laptop local groups
  • so I apologize for that problem.
  • I think it was fixed Sunday. Evening. But I sent a note about
  • yesterday at noon
  • so so great.
  • Let's see at noon seven emails because all pranks should be
  • done by noon.
  • They didn't want to partake. In April Fool's Day.
  • So I didn't debug this well enough Fermat's Last Theorem
  • should be on a new line with the daily scam. And discussion topic
  • should anyway we'll deal with that.
  • Or I'll fix it later. But we can still proceed here.
  • Okay, so I just wanted to mention that the part one of the
  • infographic is
  • Karen's release.
  • So you can have a look at that.
  • questions or concerns then we will also send an email to the
  • marketer who should get another five years view of science
  • so let's just
  • have a peek at
  • so there were four marks for the topic.
  • So, four marks for the topic. So not only should it be relevant
  • to class,
  • you should have a personal connection or personal
  • interests. Explain why you chose to partner.
  • Then five marks
  • let's try number three.
  • sound better or not?
  • You? So we talked about having one being within the last six
  • months
  • but the rubric is focused on doing the SIFT moves for each of
  • the sources so the for individual
  • are groups.
  • And then a plan as to Mars
  • so we're not You're not going to be
  • accountable for your class, but this
  • couple marks
  • encourage you to make a plan. Think about what needs to go
  • into producing your infographic
  • Okay, so that's a couple pages of text maybe
  • any immediate questions or concerns about that? Okay
  • so I thought watch the video that we didn't see on Thursday
  • about rush calm.
  • Now
  • let's take a look at that first.
  • Watch it
  • let me see if I can find another version of it.
  • Well
  • this isn't a TED talk, but I hope it's going to deliver here
  • let's see if I can do this
  • okay, that's it
  • I hope that I was going to be able to not have to fiddle with
  • things.
  • problem that I'm trying to address is that human beings
  • think of ourselves in terms of our utility value. And that's
  • going to be us partly because machines when people are always
  • developing machines then again, to be consistent of what we're
  • doing here. I was arguing with the guy in cybernetics when he
  • was thinking about feedback from robots that we're gonna have to
  • think about what's the human use of human beings. But to me, it
  • really speaks of a reversal of figure and ground reversal of
  • subject and object we're thinking about how does
  • technology treat humans rather than how to human beings use
  • technology. So you're no longer the figures we are no longer the
  • actors, the intelligent agents agency. So we ended up living in
  • a world where even those who want to make technology or the
  • theory that that's nicer to people are still thinking about
  • technology as something that plays us and that's the
  • experience I have and I can end I believe is real right now is
  • that I'm not using my technology my technology uses me every time
  • I slightly smartphone. It gets smarter about me and I get
  • dumber about it. But the response that I'm trying to
  • provoke is not another technical response. I don't think it's
  • about let's write algorithms to beat the algorithms that are
  • hurting us. Yeah, let's do a new rd of that and let's develop a
  • better social media network. That does this or a better
  • smartphone. How would you know I think what I'm trying to do is a
  • little bit more homeopathic in spirit or naturopathic rather
  • than fighting the disease and even giving more weight and
  • authority to that digital or digital monster. Let's get
  • offline. No, Let's enhance our human resilience. And let's face
  • it, enhance our own our own vitality, our cultural immune
  • response, you know, there's weaponized news out there that I
  • don't want my kid using a weaponized meme filter. I want
  • my kid being strong enough to not respond to the weaponized
  • right when in the states will have this Twitter phenomenon
  • where there was this video of some maca kid that she was a
  • mogga hat facing off with a Native American and it was a 20
  • seconds it started like a 22nd video and I saw all my friends,
  • smart friends, professors of media friends, tweeting that
  • retreating I got this horrible fascist child and I was I was
  • kind of amazed but wait a minute, can you be as human
  • being for a minute take to be smart enough to realize you're
  • not there. You don't know what happened. Your risk theory
  • didn't show a picture on social media and he's using it to then
  • whatever the rage you have against the Trump presidency or
  • against Maga people are against racism. And of course, you know,
  • as they pull back and became another story, and they pulled
  • back a little bit more, and it became to get a long story. So
  • the object of the game is not to teach Twitter how to make sure
  • that things bad messages don't come through. That's like
  • saying, well, let's just read the world and viruses. No, the
  • object of the game is to increase our own immune
  • responses. People are collected cultural in response, and the
  • way to do that is to have enough solidarity between people who
  • can sit in rooms together, make eye contact, have conversations
  • and not feel so threatened. They can't tolerate one another.
  • Every semester that I teach only taught for five years now every
  • semester I get more notes from students on the first day of
  • class notes signed by their psychiatrist say at least excuse
  • Johnny from class participation in presentations. But because
  • Johnny's got loads of anxiety, social anxiety, and I'm sure
  • that it's real, who biases so much why doesn't Johnny been
  • trained in kindergarten first, second, and third grade how to
  • be in a room with other people. You noticed because Johnny is
  • education has been surrendered to Johnny six Okay, value. Let's
  • make him a good worker. You know, anyone in the UK who knows
  • the history of public education here, you know, common education
  • was not to make better workers public education was started to
  • give dignity to the cola. So they worked in the mines all day
  • with Lisa can come home and revenue dignity of any ever made
  • a novel or participate intelligently in representative
  • democracy. When we turn education to extensions and put
  • an extension on work. All we've really done is taken the
  • Corporate cost and externalized it to the public sector, as
  • we've devalued education, so it's no longer to teach people
  • that they have essential dignity when they come in that room. But
  • they're going to have to learn something in order to be useful,
  • valuable members of society, and the principles of the soul meet
  • with the CEOs of the companies to find out oh, what do you want
  • them to know? Do you want them to know Excel means you know
  • Java, you want them to know Python will deliver you the
  • employee of the future. You know, employees are jobs. But
  • that's another story. Right in point but it's fine five minutes
  • temporary. You can talk about data cloud was invented in the
  • Renaissance. It's not it's not as simple to work. It's just
  • it's really employment was a way to prevent people from owning
  • their own businesses. They had to go work for troubled
  • monopolies. Excellent. Employment was born. That's
  • that's a whole other story. So yeah, so I'm arguing that once
  • we can learn to establish and maintain basic rapport with one
  • another, that's when the graveyard conspiracy can begin.
  • And the word conspiracy literally conspired to bring
  • together people breathing together right now. That
  • constitutes a conspiracy, if you can breathe together and other
  • people, because then the whole thing the whole artifice begins
  • to unravel. And you've got to experience your power in terms
  • of experience, the dignity of yourself and the dignity of the
  • other people that go red. And once you touch that core of
  • dignity in yourself and others, then it's much much harder to be
  • controlled by anywhere.
  • I'm going to try this link. See if that
  • I certainly believe that the opportunity that we have as
  • coaches and experts to package upon all engineers or programs
  • that we serve to sell marketing systems is to generate new
  • clients for that program was one of the.
  • Some reason this works
  • I got invited to an exclusive resort to deliver a talk about
  • the digital future to what I assume would be a couple of 100
  • tech executives, and I was there in the green room waiting to go
  • on. And instead of bringing into the stage, they brought five men
  • into the green room, sat around this little table with me. They
  • were tech billionaires, and sort of peppering them with these
  • really binary questions like Bitcoin or Aetherium. Virtual
  • reality or augmented reality. That sir Well, and as they got
  • more comfortable as they age towards their real question of
  • concern, Alaska, or New Zealand. That's right. These tech
  • billionaires were asking immediate viewers for advice on
  • where to put their key stakeholders. We spent the rest
  • of the hour on the single question, how do I maintain
  • control of my security staff after the event? By the event
  • they mean the thermonuclear war or climate catastrophe or social
  • unrest that ends the world as we know it, and more importantly,
  • makes them money obsolete. And I couldn't help but think these
  • are the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world. If
  • they see themselves as utterly powerless to influence the
  • future. The best they can do is hang on to the inevitable
  • catastrophe, and then use their technology and money to get away
  • from the rest of us. And these are the winners of the digital
  • economy. The digital Renaissance was about the unbridled
  • potential of the collective human imagination. It's fed
  • everything from chaos, and quantum physics to fantasy role
  • playing and the Gaia hypothesis, right? We believe that human
  • beings connected could create any future we could imagine. And
  • then keep the.com bubble. And the digital future became
  • socking tricks. And we used all that energy of the digital age
  • to pump steroids into the already dying NASDAQ Stock
  • Exchange. The tech magazines told us a tsunami was coming and
  • only the investors who hired the best scenario planners and
  • futures would be able to survive the wave. And so the future
  • changed from this thing we create together in the present
  • to something we bet on some kind of a zero sum winner takes all
  • competition. And when things get that competitive about the
  • future, humans are no longer valued for our creativity, and
  • that we're just valued for our data, because they just use the
  • data to make predictions. Creativity is anything that
  • creates noise that makes it harder to predict. So we ended
  • up with a digital landscape that really repressed creativity
  • repressed novelty, and repress what makes us most human. We
  • ended up with social media and social media really connect
  • people and new interesting ways. Social media is about using our
  • data to predict our future behavior, or when necessary to
  • influence our future behavior so that we act more in accordance
  • with our statistical profiles. The digital economy is that like
  • people know if you have a business plan, what are you
  • supposed to do get rid of all the people, human beings they
  • want health care, they want money, they want meaning. You
  • can't scale when people hear our digital apps, they don't have
  • this form a room for solidarity. I mean, where's the button on
  • the ride hailing app to the drivers to talk to one each to
  • talk to one another about their working conditions or to
  • unionize your video conferencing tools, they don't allow us to
  • establish new work for however good the resolution of the
  • video, you still can't see if some of these irises are opening
  • to really take you in all of the things that we've done to
  • establish rapport that we've developed over hundreds of 1000s
  • of years of evolution. They don't work you can see if
  • someone's breath is syncing up with yours. You're so the mirror
  • neurons never fire the oxytocin never goes through your body.
  • You never have that experience of bonding with the other human
  • being. And instead you're less likely to creepers even just a
  • few to really get me and we don't we don't blame the
  • technology for that accidentally we blame the other person. Even
  • the technologies and the digital initiatives that we have to
  • promote humans are intensely anti human at the core. Now
  • think about the blockchain. The blockchain is here to help us
  • have a great humanized economy know the blockchain design
  • engender trust between users to blockchain simply substitute for
  • trust in a new, even less transparent way or the code
  • movement. Mean education is great. We love education as a
  • wonderful idea that we want kids to be able to get jobs in the
  • digital future. So teach them code now. The sixth one is
  • education about getting jobs. Education was about getting
  • jobs, education, education was compensation for a job well
  • done. The idea of public education was for coal miners
  • who would work in the coal mines all day that they'd come home
  • and they should ever dig in and be able to read a novel and
  • understand it or the intelligence to be able to
  • participate in democracy. When we make it an extension of the
  • job, we're really doing. We're just letting corporations really
  • externalizing the cost of training and workers. And worst
  • of all really is the key to speech humane technology
  • movement. I mean, I love these guys, the former guys used to
  • take the the algorithms from Las Vegas slot machines and put them
  • in our social media feeds so that we get addicted. Now we've
  • seen the error of their ways and they want to make technology
  • more humane. But when I heard the expression, humane
  • technology, I think about cage free chickens or something,
  • we're gonna get you made as possible to them until we take
  • them to the slaughter. You know, so now they're going to let
  • these technologies be as humane as possible as long as they
  • extract enough data and extract enough money from us to please
  • their shareholders. And meanwhile, the shareholders for
  • their part, they're just thinking, I need to earn enough
  • money now. So I can insulate myself from the world that I'm
  • creating by how the money is in the slave. No matter how many VR
  • goggles they slap on their basis, whatever fantasy world
  • they go into, they can externalize the slavery and
  • pollution that was caused through the manufacture of the
  • very device. Reminds me of Thomas Jefferson's Dominator.
  • We'd like to think that he made the dumbwaiter in order to spare
  • stared as slaves all that labor of carrying food up to the
  • dining room for the people to eat. It's not what it was for.
  • It wasn't for the slaves. It was for Thomas Jefferson and his
  • dinner guests, so they didn't have to see the slave bringing
  • the food up. The food to survive magically like it was coming out
  • of a Star Trek replicator. It's part of the ethos that says,
  • human beings are the problem and technology is the solution. We
  • can't think that anymore. We have to stop using technology to
  • optimize human beings. For the market, and stop and start
  • optimizing technology for the human future. But that's a
  • really hard argument to make these days because humans are
  • not popular beings. I talked about this in front of an
  • environmentalist just the other day and she said Why are you
  • defending us humans destroy the planet. They deserve to go
  • extinct.
  • For five to 10 or more on the academy FEMA guarantee secure
  • future Canada's most trusted MCAT prep is the most five star
  • reviews schedule a free initial consultation now. Hi, everyone,
  • my name is Nadia.
  • Your popular media hate humans we watch television on the
  • sidelines shows her that robots are definitely nicer than evil.
  • Even zombie shows what does that mean zombie showdown some person
  • looking at the horizon that some zombie going by and they zoom in
  • on the person and you see the person's face. You know what
  • they're thinking? What's really the difference between that
  • zombie and again, he walks along. He eats. He kills I kill
  • but he's astounding. At least you're aware that we are
  • actually having trouble distinguishing ourselves from
  • zombies. We have a pretty big problem going on. I thought we
  • could get started on transhumanists. I was on a panel
  • with the transhumanist he's going on about the singularity.
  • Oh the day is going to come really soon that computers are
  • smarter than people. And the only option for people at that
  • point is to pass the evolutionary torch to our
  • successor and fade into the background. Maybe best upload
  • your consciousness to a silicon chip and accept your extinction.
  • And I said no. Human beings are special. We can embrace
  • ambiguity. We understand paradox. We're conscious. We're
  • weird. We're quirky. There shouldn't be a phrase for humans
  • in the digital future. And he said oh Scott, you're just
  • saying that because you're a human. As if it's hubris, okay,
  • I'm on Team human. That was the original insight of the digital
  • age. That being human as a team sport, evolution is a
  • collaborative act, because the trees in the forest that are all
  • in competition with each other are connected with a vast
  • network of routes and mushrooms that let them communicate with
  • one another and pass nutrients back and forth. If human beings
  • are the most of all species, it's because we have the most
  • evolved ways of collaborating and communicating. We have
  • language we have technology. It's funny, I used to be the guy
  • who talked about the digital future for people who haven't
  • experienced anything digital. And now I feel like I'm the last
  • guy that remembers what life was like before digital technology.
  • It's not a matter of rejecting the digital or rejecting the
  • technological, it's a matter of retrieving the values that are
  • in danger of leaving behind, and then they show them in the
  • digital infrastructure for the future. And that's not rocket
  • science. As simple as being the social network that instead of
  • teaching us to see people as adversaries, it teaches us to
  • see our adversaries as people. It means creating an economy
  • that doesn't favor of a platform monopoly that wants to extract
  • all the value out of people in places, but when it comes to the
  • circulation of value through a community and allows us to
  • establish platform cooperatives and to strictly districted
  • ownership as wide as possible. It means building backwards,
  • that don't repress our creativity and novelty in the
  • name of prediction, but actually promote creativity and novelty
  • so that we can come up with some of the solutions to actually get
  • ourselves out of the mess that we're in. Now, instead of trying
  • to earn enough money to insulate ourselves from the world we're
  • creating, why don't we spend that time and energy making the
  • world a place that we don't feel the need to escape from? But
  • there is no escape. There's only one thing going on here. Please
  • don't leave. Join us. We may not be perfect, but whatever happens
  • at least you will be alone. join Team human, find the others.
  • Together. Let's make the future that we always wanted. Oh man,
  • those those technical errors and wondering you know how to
  • maintain control of their security force after the
  • apocalypse. You know what I told them, start treating those
  • people with love and respect right now. Maybe you won't have
  • an apocalypse to worry about. Thank you.
  • So why do you think
  • okay, that's I'm missing most.
  • So who enjoyed the day guys? He made technology
  • so how many have an association between education and work?
  • So it's hard to think about
  • especially these days.
  • You should study and not think about work.
  • Think about employment.
  • Because Buying a house is not so realistic anymore.
  • There's lots of things that come up so I'm
  • so there's a new issue of the your undivided attention podcast
  • that I have linked to here for you to listen to
  • Moore's Law and they say well, there's some disagreement
  • between AI researchers
  • say like the
  • last night at Monster for AI is good enough to replace
  • programmers
  • I won't spoil the whole thing.
  • Any thoughts that we haven't I haven't addressed here. That
  • came from those videos.
  • So a couple of things. In the news. This is from Popular
  • Mechanics. Try I'm getting some of these things when I get a
  • blank screen in Firefox. I have some listed and
  • so this one is current from March 27. So last week, machines
  • are on the verge of tackling Fermat's Last Theorem, a proof
  • that wants to find them. So a sign about another indication
  • about the progress of AI
  • and then so this is the article that came across
  • and it was reprinted from Wired but first ran in 2019.
  • So they mentioned a website called the daily scam.
  • So what's your sense of this website? When you look at it?
  • Does it look trustworthy?
  • name is Marcus
  • is there something you can point to this?
  • title sounds like it's promoting scam but it's the opposite.
  • So let's let's do that trick with Wikipedia.
  • Guys. So wouldn't pass the wiki pedia test I thank.
  • You and the thumbs down is also not helpful. I would say.
  • So what I I did a quick search for the title of the article
  • and I didn't see it. It didn't come up in the search result on
  • Wired. So I'm not
  • I'm not sure
  • whether it appeared on Wired.
  • Got a title or some other details. I'm not sure about this
  • quality of the search on why I think generally wired is made
  • more of a commercial
  • website resolved by
  • cutting edge technology magazine and website
  • so I'm not sure how to feel about this
  • and the fact that we've got a mix of styles and fonts and
  • typefaces there was an increase my feeling about it. I presented
  • it to you because it came up
  • so the article talks about.
  • So the that's one aspect.
  • Computer Crimes running running scams like this so.
  • On the heading of cat fishing,
  • so the subsidy mistakes have talked about some chatting with
  • the end. Some of those claims is talking to a teenager who was
  • not at
  • all listening at so we had had a conversation with the person we
  • thought it was it was Andriy teenage girl. He didn't say
  • anything explicit.
  • Anybody called
  • the girl's parents so to speak, or present themselves as the
  • girl's parents saying How dare you proposition my underage
  • daughter you're jail for this. Unless you pay for your cell
  • phone bill or use money.
  • You can extract some money
  • so the person in the story committed suicide in jail so
  • sometimes catfishing is more of a creating relationships and
  • asking for money to help them personnel
  • but in general, these are
  • scams that I worked on the fact
  • we don't have personal
  • connections anymore that we relying on online to provide
  • closure socialization.
  • So I want to
  • I want to focus on security policies. In the disk with a
  • discussion.
  • So, to discuss what are some measures that can be taken both
  • by individuals and organizations including governments to prevent
  • or mitigate the undesirable effects of computer crimes and
  • identity theft. So
  • I took this from the ACM document
  • and I thought about if
  • if we start specify undesirable effects I don't know if there
  • are desirable effects computer crime
  • but anyway way
  • you can think about if there
  • are some other kinds of effects other than undesirable
  • so I invite you to warm up to groups or people who are nearby
  • you and think about the things you can do for yourself and when
  • University
  • minimize the opportunities for computer crimes and identity.
  • Okay
  • so let's take 10 minutes to get back together as a class Okay.
  • To ice Cream
  • village
  • it
  • going
  • on right things I just said no
  • to it try to think
  • logically
  • this video
  • memorizing everything you one of them I don't know but I can just
  • try it
  • everybody
  • families
  • my number is number seven all the way down
  • my
  • first
  • video all
  • you have
  • to start far
  • as finding the website it's like
  • oh I would say
  • check
  • it out was
  • a tragic
  • event
  • right so, I
  • just started okay should we get together again
  • so there's some good discussions
  • sessions
  • anyways
  • so anything any ideas for what individuals can do to blunt the
  • impact of computer crime and identity theft in particular?
  • So, do applicants do the application to use
  • and handle two factor authentication well
  • I think reputable ones that you probably shouldn't be using at
  • this point Yeah.
  • So I want to also think about whether it's done well when the
  • slide so I'm thinking about BMO, for example. Use vehicle anyway,
  • what I discovered is that they've they've gone through a
  • process where the experience more seamless across platforms.
  • That's what they say but it's even more painful on smartphones
  • for me because I have a password manager so it doesn't if I want
  • to deposit and interact transfer I click on deposit and maybe it
  • doesn't open the app on my phone and goes to the website.
  • It makes the login, which is terrible. But then it says Now
  • we're going to verify that you liked the message that when we
  • receive advice, which I can't seek at work, so I go back to
  • getting a text message, which is fine. So I use a regular plans
  • to Slack messages. Then has a checkbox say that I understand
  • that. This is dangerous stuff that I'm going to do in behalf
  • authorizing My Account authorizing the code to be sent
  • to my account. And I say okay, and then next page, they get a
  • text message and I authorize my account and then it says would
  • you like to remember this device so you don't have to do this in
  • the future? And I'd say yes, but it never remembers
  • sometimes I don't get the right screen. So I have to go through
  • the process again. My interact transfer so
  • I don't feel there's any bloody
  • there's anywhere I can direct my analysis of their system. So I
  • just deal with it
  • okay, anyway, that's my story or two factor authentication.
  • Or anything else is individuals can do
  • it not important like Twitter or something. You can just buy more
  • and putting in your data. The flip side is that a lot of these
  • platforms don't need to have like your first name, your last
  • name, your address, your phone number, your email address. So
  • it's not something where it's like a legal document and
  • identities that is there still is a data who's live to be like
  • I'm John Doe and email addresses one@one.com and credit cards
  • online
  • all. Don't provide useful information to websites
  • and I think he the password manager keep track of the lies.
  • This was so easy.
  • Line Manager
  • So security questions. This is my wife like and she wants to
  • log into my account and it has to I see report and just gonna
  • have to look it up. Because it's a random string of characters
  • anyone else do that? One person
  • I'm thinking about not exceeding. I think that was the
  • first one they were peppering in people's questions about your
  • dog as a child, what is his name? My favorite disastrous
  • security questions
  • so a way to avoid that is
  • to treat them as passwords. So what about passwords?
  • That's kind of tough though. Because in my right banking, I
  • have security questions. And sometimes to access certain
  • features. Maybe this is just because it's a smaller bank.
  • That I'm with but I have to say my answers over the phone if I
  • need the service for something. So if I had a random string of
  • 20 characters, it could be a little bit hard for me to convey
  • that over the phone as if I was born there. Right?
  • Yes
  • passwords should be passphrases.
  • You have any organizational ideas don't give it to third

Responses

What important concept or perspective did you encounter today?

  • Today I learnt about Human Team by Douglas Rushkoff.
  • When David Rushkoff said that Social media doesn't connect people but its about using our data to predict/ influence our future behavior.
  • not really
  • The most important topic/perspective in todays class was the awareness regarding digital scam. Digital scams are rampant in todays world, many scammer use tech and AI to scam people nowadays through phone calls and emails. It is important to address such issues such that people would be aware in these situations.
  • Regarding the mentality of the billionaires in control of the tech market, how they would rather build a bunker than fix their problems
  • Team Human
  • Team Human" in the digital future
  • we encountered Multi factor authentication
  • Today we learned about computer crimes and security policies.
  • Team Human and watch 1 TEDx video
  • Just discussed about some topics
  • information safety
  • Optimization technology for human future is a important perspective I have encountered
  • Team Human
  • How companies are trying to get people’s data in more humane ways making it seem that they are using that for the betterment but instead keeping the same goal to use that data for their stakeholders.
  • Team Human, the concept of incorporating technology to our daily life but not allowing technology to admired Humanity.
  • no
  • The fact that AI or social media is not really the problem but how we react to social media or AI
  • what team human is standing against
  • We talked about measures that can be taken by both individuals and organizations, including governments, to prevent or mitigate the undesirable effects of computer crimes and identity theft, Fermat’s last theorem
  • Individuals should use strong passwords and avoid clicking on suspicious links, while organizations should regularly update their software and provide cybersecurity training to employees. Governments can enact laws to regulate data handling and collaborate with law enforcement agencies to investigate computer crimes.
  • Fundamental attributes of social media that effect society
  • During our discussion for what we can do to increase security at the university, one idea that came to mind for me was writing our passwords for our accounts in a notebook instead of online. That way, in the end that you get hacked, the hacker won't be able to have easy access to all of your passwords.
  • An important concept from today’s class was considering how the way society has changed with the evolution of technology means that people now use the internet for basic socialization, like finding a romantic partner, which makes catfishing and other scams possible and prevalent.
  • Fermat’s Last Theorem
  • how to treat your fellow human and mindset
  • Humane technology movement can be perceived in the same light as "cage free chickens," where they are kept as nicely as possible before being sent to slaughter
  • I found it was really important that we learned about digital privacy and how the more we are using digital technology, the more information we are basically giving away to be used against us. We are not really the consumers but rather we are the product and we are essentially being tricked by companies in order to provide them with the most possible value.
  • nothing
  • The different the impact of the .com boom
  • Being human in the digital future
  • two factor authentication
  • Virtual reality or argumented reality
  • Fermat's last theorem
  • I learned about the dangers of the internet and AI
  • An important concept I encountered today was through the team human video. The thought of changing technology to benefit humans rather than to scare humans of technology is interesting but with that comes the fact of a loss of funding because you are no longer exploiting people and their data. If we found a way to monetize “human friendly” tech I believe the digital world would become a place where people wouldn’t have to feel like they need to delete their entire online presence due to harmful sites.
  • I saw how the elites feel they have no power even though they are a big factor in regards to our future
  • not really
  • The idea that technology is using us and we are not using technology, and the idea that technology gets smarter about us as we get dumber about it.
  • Computer crimes
  • internet security
  • 2 factor authenticator
  • Don’t provide important info to an unimportant website. This can mitigate undesirable effects of computer crimes and identify theft.
  • Humane Technology
  • cybercrime, and discussing how to prevent certain online crimes
  • How the undesirable effects of computers interact with our lives.
  • important topic today was the ted talk about How to be "Team Human" in the digital future
  • Today I learned I few ways to keep myself safer when it comes to identity theft
  • An important concept we encountered today was computer crimes: scams. Ome thing that will help prevent any kind of scams is not giving out any personal information to anybody on the internet even if you know them. I have had people try to mimic a profile of a family member and ask me for money and I knew right away because it was an entire different account. In conclusion dont give info
  • 1
  • I learned about how detrimental identity theft is.
  • The fact that capitalism influences so much about our way of life, even the way we perceive education.
  • The fact that humans are more valued for our data than our creativity, and we need to be on team human for a brighter future involving more human creativity.
  • Team Humane, thedailyscam and discussion about crimes and identity theft
  • How we got to practice in class testing the reliability and trust of a site (thedailyscam)
  • We talked about how to avoid computer crimes or identity theft. We also watched a couple videos that went into how we should be working together as humans and building a "social immune system"."
  • from the ted talk and during class that education wasn't always intertwined with getting a job, also that scams usualy put up a façade of friendliness to hook victims
  • Team Human
  • We discussed about news, and some article topics
  • I learnt about Fermat's last theorem.
  • measures that can be taken to identify theft and computer crimes
  • Yes
  • I think it was about the grades of assignment 2.
  • Security Policies, Laws and Computer Crimes
  • Today we discussed some more in the news sections.
  • Today we discussed the concepts of security policies, laws and computer crimes. We watched a view videos of Douglas Rushkoff, and learned about why we should all be team Human. We read about ferman’s last theorem, and we also had a discussion about how we can save ourselves from computer crimes, as individuals and organizations.
  • An important idea from Douglas Rushkoff's TEDTalk, was that he says that big tech and billionaires have hijacked the digital future, using it only for profits and power. Instead, we need to use technology for human connection and creativity and create a world we do not need to "escape from".
  • We discussed about articles, team human
  • The video mentions how the purpose of education isn’t to get a job. Which I thought was a really important but rare perspective in today’s society
  • I learned that there are more ways to protect ourselves online from identity theft and computer crimes. Some people will be loose on their information they give out.
  • Nothing
  • Various things about AI
  • In the news topic was covered
  • Should all education just be focused on procducing job ready works?
  • we watched a ted talk and you asked us if we were team human or not but I am still very confused.
  • Today's important concept included TEDTalks by Douglas Rushkoff, both regarding how to be 'Team Human' in the midst of our digital future. This overlooked how humans compare themselves to technology and how to combat weaponized media. Each day that passes, we let technology get smarter about us and we get dumber about it. An important lesson I learned today is to be cautious of how I react to media because it is easily manipulated and I don't really know the reality of it.
  • Nothing really
  • Social media
  • No
  • Discussions of areas of concentration for finals
  • fermat’s last theorem

  • We watched a couple TED videos in class today
  • Mostly about the ted talk and other sites
  • Humans no longer valued as thinking beings but as sources of data in todays online world.
  • Today we talked about 2 TedTalks on Team Human by Rushkoff where he urges us to re-evaluate our relationship with technology and to be on Team Human to ensure that our digital future is shaped by human needs and values rather than economic values. Another thing we talked about was the Fermat's Last Theorem and how machines are now approaching the challenge of solving Fermat's Last Theorem which had previously been a problem for many mathematicians..
  • being human in a digital world
  • A perspective that I encountered today was the thought of keeping humanity by keeping technology beneath us and not have it become more powerful than us
  • Security Policies, Laws and Computer Crimes
  • - We have to stop using technology to optimize human beings for the market - instead, we should be optimizing technology for the human future - there should be a PLACE for humans in the digital future, we are moving too far away as we evolve - human beings should be interconnected with each other, having evolved ways of collaborating and communicating
  • To be on team human
  • Ferman's last theorem
  • I got to know about team human.
  • The digital architecture must be optimized to help the human future rather than optimizing humans for the digital market. We need to build a good response to the digital marketing tactics of big corporations
  • In a world of technology, humans are no longer valued for creativity, but rather for our data and usefulness to the tech world.
  • Today’s lecture was interesting
  • Security Policies, Laws and Computer
  • that education used to not be tied to a career or employment
  • what are some measures that can be taken by both individuals and organizations, including governments, to prevent or mitigate the undesirable effects of computer crimes and identity theft?

  • Today I learned about a term 'team human' from different videos we watched today.
  • An important concept I encountered today was the idea of Team Human and that we should be designing technology for the interests of the people. Rather than focusing on making profit and optimizing people for the market, we should be building a future in which humans can properly connect with each other and be able to preserve the value of our uniqueness/worth.
