Wisdom with Google

Google is a very popular search engine that I use almost everyday. People are able to access new information and content through the web using google. I believe internet searching has definitely changed our lives since the past two decades (20 years). Many people rely on google too much where they lack to find an answer on their own rather than easily looking it up. This can affect their wisdom and problem solving skills. Of course, it can be easier to just google a question rather than solving it the hard way. I feel as if using google can be both beneficial as well as unhelpful at the same time.

Twitter

I plan to accomplish this project by creating a professional twitter account. I will be following professional organizations that tie along with my major, Biochemistry, as well as other professionals. My initial idea for this project is that it will help create a network for future opportunities, such as jobs, for myself. Twitter is a great way to find new information as well as to connect with others. Also, you can look for a specific topic if needed. I feel as if this project will be easy and will go well. I have used twitter in the past so this should not be difficult.

Technology Disconnect

For an assignment for my Exploring Digital Media class, I am required to be disconnected from all technology for a total of 24 hours. To prepare, I have notified my friends, family, and coworkers know that I will be doing this. I believe that the most challenging part of this disconnection will be not getting ahold of people. Not having any music to listen to will also be challenging for me. The easiest part will be having the time to relax and not be distracted with my phone or laptop.

I am sure that my phone will be the hardest thing to give up during this disconnect. I can go online, listen to music, as well as get ahold of friends and family with my phone. Television will be the easiest technology to give up for myself because I do not watch it often. I might watch a show or a movie once every couple of days.

I am not excited about this assignment. The reason for this is because I feel like it will be difficult to not use any technology for 24 hours. It will most likely be a learning experience for me. I am sure I will be looking forward to being done with this technology disconnect assignment.

Professional About Me

My name is Jesse Dady and I am from Central Minnesota. I am currently enrolled at St. Cloud State University majoring in biochemistry. I enjoy learning new topics and being outdoors. I have always had an interest in chemistry since I was in High School.

I am currently taking a course called Exploring Digital Media, IM260, where I am allowed to research my major using digital media. I have consent to look into, as well as post about, chemistry and biochemistry. I am already seeing a big correlation digital media has with finding new information. Technology is also advancing rapidly which has an impact on learning significantly.

The objective of this blog is to help educate you about chemistry and how it is affected by social media. These posts will be done formally and in a timely manner.
