Lesson 14: Part V (Passion Question)

What was the most recent event or action you’ve done that has made a sizable impact on your life? For myself, this was attending Coachella for the first time and meeting some people who inspired me to not just follow the “standard” career paths but to really do something I’d enjoy doing. Sounds obvious, but I never really put it to such a thought!

Lesson 14: Part IV (Creative “Make” Challenge)

Interviewee One:

He finds himself too connected to his phone, where it’s the first thing he checks when he wakes up and he tends to stay on it too much late at night. He plans to fix this by making more of a morning schedule where he goes to the bathroom, does a small ab workout/make breakfast and then check his phone. By engraving this morning routine, he hopes to help with the bad habit and he also wants to try doing a no electronics thing after a certain time frame.

Interviewee Two:

Wants to prioritize his life more by waking up earlier and trying to work out more. He made some stories of how it’s hard when there’s things like finals that come around, but h realizes that if you want something, you can make time for it.

Interviewee Three:

He finds himself saying “Bro” too often. He wants to try changing his choice of words by calling himself out every time he says it.

Lesson 14: Part III (EdgeMaking Habits Journal Prompts)

Although I’d describe myself as healthy, I’d like to schedule my life up a bit more. Waking up around the same time, no matter the day. Working out more and being more active or joining more active hobbies. Eating better and cooking more of my own meals. Spending less time online and more time just exploring either through travel or just doing something different.

I don’t know how much free time I’ll always have, but I know if I really want something, I can make the time for it!

Lesson 14: Part II (Curation and Analysis)

How to Change Your Life: A User’s Guide

I’m happy I took this course now at such a pivotal point in time of my life. Days away from graduation, no longer is my life so deeply revolved around the premeditated route of going to school or doing homework or whatever. I feel like now is a time of big choices where I really decide what I’ll be doing with the rest of my life and using this time to not only think about careers/relationships, but to also think about myself as an individual is a major thing I wouldn’t have done so much so without this course. Using this time to personalize change and have it more revolve around myself can be a really productive thing that I wouldn’t have been able to do to the same capacity without clarifying that I am my word and that I choose what drives my life. We all have our own stories and we can let these drive us for the better or for the worse, but knowing that deep down, life is all what you make it is a prime point I wouldn’t have thought so deep down about.

Start with a simple statement: what do you want to be?

I want to be a programmer. I want to live a successful life in which I’m happy, I’m above the median in income, I love what I do and I treat my body and others with respect and friendliness. I believe respect is earned not given, and I want to be earn that respect with any many as I can. I want to make an impact, I want to lead a change in the world where people can live a life of more peacefulness and positivity.

Lesson 14: Part I (Inquiry and Analysis)

The first two links of the Lesson 14 - Inquiry and analysis section seem to be down or require us to make accounts to view the material! And the link to Common Sense Media leads to a website with no article anymore.

Protecting Twitter Users (Sometimes From Themselves)” by Del Harvey

At first I found her Ted talk only average because of it’s slight shallowness. She didn’t really dive too deep into exactly how she ensures safety or what guidelines they use to really assess the edge cases, but I did really like one portion of it towards the end where she describes more retrospective thinking. I believe it’s doing exactly that which allows people to be more preemptive with avoiding issues, especially when it comes to online content nowadays. Putting yourself in the shoes of the user is not only a great way to find/remedy problematic things, it also could allow for security to be strengthened because you’re able to see where faults arrive and where current parts of the security are lacking. For instance, by thinking about the Geo Data that pictures taken from our phones have, Twitter was able to better promote security/anonymity by stripping this information from content when its posted on their servers. For the average user, this may not mean much, but for those edge cases, this could mean all the world in privacy. I believe this process works well with the quote from Albert Einstein, “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” If we want to optimize privacy or security or whatever, we have to change the way we think about things to compose the full circle.
