How can we most effectively address global poverty?
- Nathan Nast on 16 Feb 11
  
  Can Watson give us the answers we need to get out of the economic hole we are in today? I believe we are going to rely on computers like Watson to much, and technology will go in the direction of the feed.

Watson may be able to get all the answers right, but only humans know how to ask the right questions.
- Nathan Nast on 17 Feb 11
  
  This relates back to the feed, with the idea of human interaction. A computer (like watson) can always get you information or tell you the best place to eat...but computers cannot have feelings. They cannot have a sitdown conversation with you. They cant help you get through a tough time. After Computers are made to its full potential, human interaction will still be more important.

That’s actually much harder than it looks. As human beings, part of our intelligence is our ability to understand statements without much context—“Hey, did you get my email?” is often perfectly understandable because we know the reference point. But computers don’t have context, and often tell us things that are totally unrelated to what we are looking for.

  I thought this whole paragraph was very interesting. The slang used in everyday language is to hard for a computer to learn. A human brain is capable of understanding this. I think in the feed they use slang (just like us) to get away from the feed. To act like rebels in a world that is hard to rebel against.

People also use the Internet to steal other people’s money or spread bad things like gossips or unfounded criticisms.

  This also connects to the high school, where cyber bulling is a big problem.

When children went home, some of them go straight to their room to start their computers instead of having a chat with their parents.
- Nathan Nast on 11 Feb 11
  
  This is one example of kids not having a good relationship with their family. This is related to the feed because both kids don't have a good relationship with their parents, due to the amount of internet.

We rely on it to communicate instead of talking to each other, and our relationship between each other become distant
- Nathan Nast on 11 Feb 11
  
  What will happen if our relationships become more and more distant? I believe relationships will become viral.

This is a good article showing how kids plug into the internet. It also talks about how criminals can get more information.

Hospital Health Danger Technology

shared by Nathan Nast on 09 Feb 11 - No Cached

To put it mildly, our health care system demonstrates large-scale confusion about whom to treat and how intensively to treat them.
- Nathan Nast on 09 Feb 11
  
  Our health care is now being put up on the internet. Everyones medical history can be viewed online. This can be an invasion of privacy. Having hospitals depend on something that could shit down at any moment, is non reliable.

Broadcast and print media now overwhelm us with direct-to-consumer ads, most notably for drugs that affect people’s lifestyles, including those treating hair loss, heartburn, and the ubiquitous erectile dysfunction but also for drugs that can have important consequences for survival, including various cholesterol-reducing drugs (statins and their kin) and hypertension medications

The danger of using to much technology when it comes to health. Should we keep "feed"ing money into these hospitals? What comes next?

A fear of many Web analysts and observers is that today's teenagers, who have never known a world without the Web, will become fixated on instant communication for all their socializing
- Nathan Nast on 09 Feb 11
  
  This comment makes me wonder what would happen if the internet was shut down for a day. Would the new generation be able to function? It's scary to think about how much we depend on technology.

Despite the ongoing concerns of identity theft, viruses, spam, and fraud, most people successfully use the Web to meet their wants and needs.
- Nathan Nast on 09 Feb 11
  
  "Wants and needs", This is the problem. The society today want's more than they need. For example companies are advertisement more than they need to. They also do to for the idea of competition. People are pushing other people to use more technology.
