      Dopamine

      Dopamine plays a crucial role in how we feel pleasure and motivation. It’s what drives us to pursue things that make us happy, whether it’s food, chatting with friends, or being rewarded. But with social media and stuff, people are becoming detoxed to this sensation. This results in the attention span of people being greatly reduced and them being more likely to be distracted since they want to feel the dopamine rush. This is a huge problem since it leads to stuff like procrastinating and this leads to and unhealthy and harmful lifestyle. And so, people shouldn’t just treat it like it’s a hoax but actually think of it as a greater problem.

      Internet Blockers / Admin Passwords

      Internet blocker can be a good thing, they often protect students and others from accessing dangerous sites, however, they also might restrict a large amount of great resources such as AWS. Admin passwords enable users and admins to ensure the safety of their experience and there aren’t any cons to having it except for it would result in large damage if the password were to be leaked or found out

    5.2 Reflection

    In a largely digital world like ours, a digital divide would mean that and unequal access to technology and knowledge would be present. This would affect things like jobs opportunities and education, causing a higher level of disparity between people with access and those without. Also with a large majority of mass communication and just normal day to day communication being done digitally, people would be unable to particpate in society equally, leading to some opinions not being heard and would result in a large bias.
