Diffusion theory

There are many different elements for the spread of influence to be upon society 

It has to be a large amount of people to adapt the new technology or it will not sustain.                  

There are early adopter, early majority, late majority, and laggards. 

Adopter are usually categorized as people but also can be business, school, hospitals and etc... 

People were early adopter because they were open minded people and were open to new ideas and trying new things. This also may be towards the younger age bracket as elderly people are not interested in changing what they already know. There are many late adopter because every person has their own way of doing things and if you already are self suficient many do not want to change something thats not broken. 

Late adopter may consist of people who once notice a majority of people are involved in something then they decide to start.This may be a mother who is not really interested in tik tok but ends up getting it because it becomes so popular 

One thing i see a negative of technology is it opens up a lot of room for crime. Now the police need people to monitor online while their information or evident posted somewhere. 

For example if a person posts explicit pictures or videos of  their partner their without their consent now that has the government has impose consequences. This is online sexual abuse.                       I  believe it is a good choice to stay off of snapchat, facebook , instagram .. etc.  This is because it is very time consuming which can take. up  hours of a day . In addition what you intake can be beneficial but if you watch h and informational video once it is over you are more than likely to click. non informational 

Final promopt

 I believe my relationship with technology is not healthy. It is very easy to use your phone often if it is always in your pocket. I do not intend to be using my phone for a long time period however if i am not doing anything i may get stuck watching youtube, Netflix's, or instagram videos. 

I believe technology is taking too much time in my life however it can have a positive impact 

Negatively this can keep me distracted or procrastinate from getting things done 

While swiping on instagram there are short videos that you can watch on it. 

Depending on what it is some of them are motivational, inspirational, and knowledgeable , 

For every positive thing you gain from a video there are five other videos that are useless 

Depending on the person and their character they may be able to gain the skill of sorting out useless information from relevant 

Others may be easily manipulated by what they see, hear and believe even if it is not true 

This is an example of the Illusory truth effect 

One thing that i think people are not aware of is that 

the stuff a person posts online 

ANYONE

 can screenshot of or take a picture of it with a different device . 

For instance if you post a video of yourself doing something inappropriate now anyone that saw it has something against you that they can try to show your boss or different circumstances 

  

I believe i do have a large digital footprint. 

I have been using technology since a child and had gotten my first phone in middle school

The main reason for getting the phone as a kid was for when i go out i can contact my mom to let her know if I'm ok 

The iPhone however do not only have the call feature but apps such as snapchat, facebook...etc

I am not a person that posts pictures everyday or videos of myself online 

I use these apps to communicate with friends like Snapchat and instagram 

Or to keep myself occupied 

If someone collected all of my information about everything i ever posted on social media since i was a child i believe it would be a lot 

I think social media makes some people depressed because their chasing a high of trying to get attention and to make everyone think a certain way about them

Users want positive feedback from people and want to even compare themselves to others

In reality nobody is paying it attention or cares about this type of stuff 

Usually this is in the users head 

This makes the one posting feel drained, lonely, or even like no one likes them 

I know that 9/10 people really could no care less what another person posts 

As the internet is not a main concern 

Finally when i look my name up a picture of myself from high school pops up from when i was on the wrestling team 

This is posted by the public school which i believe if i emailed to remove my picture they would 

This is not a negative but nobody wants to see themselves online if they are not the ones that put it up there
