Numero Diez

I actually liked this assignment a lot. It reminded me of my 9th grade classroom. Probably my favorite class at that time. It was an HTML coding class where we learned the language for a whole semester. It was so much fun. It was also funny because my teacher at the time went to the same middle school, I did a while behind I did. Having to set up the code made me remember all of the complex codes we learned. I now wish younger me wouldn't have thrown away that notebook, it was full of code that I religiously took notes on!! During that time, it was a class that had value, it was very informational and opened a lot of me and my fellow classmates' eyes to see that tech was something that could be fun. It was fun messing around with my buds with the code. We got so good at the code that we went onto to actual real websites, inspected the source and changed the words, colors and the website to what we wanted. We were able to manipulate any website all because we knew the language. So, when I heard that we were going to do this assignment I actually got really happy, because for me hearing the word HTML brings back great memories and it's pretty fun as well. But bringing it back to this assignment starting off I was very confused because I had forgotten a lot of this information but being reminded of what code does what, brought back the memories and this assignment wasn't too difficult for me once I got the hang of what to do and how to save as file. 

#8 ML and the FUTURE

 I think machine learning is great but when it takes a turn to integrating AI more aggressively and more dramatically it for sure changes things. Another level is unlocked that wouldn't have been touched otherwise. Some examples we talked about is self-driving cars, the use of AI with cars is quite revolutionary. The fact that you can be sitting in the backseat of your own car is insane to me. I always heard growing up that cars flying is something that won't happen in our timeline, but seeing the step towards self-driving cars within a couple of years after ChatGPT and AI pushed more is crazy. Anything is quite possible in a couple of years. IN my opinion of course. AI being integrated into lots of companies such as banks, news channels, teaching, potentially law enforcement and lots of others could for sure disrupt the natural way our world works today. I believe that AI will take lots of jobs and make its own need for jobs, like AI control or AI monitoring, to make sure that AI is not on the loose. But who's to say AI couldn't fill that role. A lot can happen in with AI integration that we just don't see sometimes. Within some of these jobs such as teaching, it can learn throughout the year what works for children as a whole and can dictate what specific needs each child needs by critically processing all the info gained from being around and observing children every day. I don't think teaching will be fully replaced by AI, but I believe a majority of the way teaching is going might change to a more AI integrated, AI involved atmosphere. 

CyberattackPesonal#9

 Cybercrime is something that has evolved over the years especially in my life. I can remember the first time it happened to me was when I was 9 years old. I had an iPod touch I can remember very well because the person hacked it and was sending inappropriate messages to my family members over my iPod messages. I was shocked because as a kid all I used my iPod for was messaging my family members and playing cheap but very addicting phone games on that iPod. I remember my mom, sister and dad eventually found out that someone had tapped into my iPod messaging somehow and was able to send messages. We had to call apple; they were able to identify what the problem was. The tech people were able to stop the hacker and restored the iPod connection. That was a while ago now. But it makes me realize how much power these hackers truly have if they know what they're doing. Nowadays the only thing that happens to me is not really phishing emails but phishing phone messages. Like I get messages that say "hello" or "your package hasn't been shipped because the address YOU gave is incorrect, please click this link and put the correct address in." They also try to impersonate FEDEX or USPS. Another example was my mom was setting up her ROKU and we weren't able to find out how to set it up, so we called the help line, and an Indian guy scammed my mom, and she had to end up closing her credit card because immediately there was lots of charges and we couldn't call anyone to help because obviously the Indian guy used a fake name, so the police was no help. But it's wild because lots of this happens to people all over the world.

 I find it very fascinating that something this advance for its time rapidly took over the world and then just as quickly lots of things started to blow up and businesses closing. I noticed lots of people who were aware of this online boom, jumped onboard but could they have known what would happen? I just love the ambition that these people had, to recognize something come up and to do something about it. They definitely profited off of it for sure but also, in 2000-2003 lots of these ambitious companies were forced to shut down, I like the quote "All pyramid schemes inevitably come to an end, or you can't grow in a vacuum." This speaks volumes of how the internet at the time was like a rollercoaster, all that adrenaline on the way up to then it all is crashing down, after the ride all you have is a rapid heartbeat. 

Honestly, I wonder if AI will have something very similar in the future. Like AI has been moving very fast and lots of people have been taking advantage of all AI can do for them. Like I personally have seen lots of people online use AI to help them start their online businesses, I wonder if they'll fall off just as quicky as they made money using AI, seeing the pattern of the internet, or is AI just different? 

Then in 2005 the internet started to slowly come back to life with MySpace, Facebook and many more. It just goes to show how people took advantage of unstable tech, lost everything, just for others in the future to learn from their mistakes and do it better. 

Visit from Erik Hanberg_#6

When the guest Erik Hanberg come over it was very informational to all of us. I feel like we learned a lot about the reality of business and tech. Also, Ai has lots of power in our world. One of the questions I had for Erik was "what is something you've learned over the course of owning a business and being an employee of all these types of companies?" He said to test the products you want to sell, to see if the product will be worth it in the end, compared to jumping into the water and losing lots of money. It was interesting to how his career related to E-commerce within the realm of knowledge books might have some future problems for people. His concern stuck with me that a lot of jobs are potentially easy to be taken away by Ai. One other thing that really stood out to me was taking advantage of the emerging technology of today. Back then for Erik, it was using the internet to start, but then using amazon (an internet bookstore giant). Using the technology available to him, enabled him to succeed in the years after starting his online job. Overall, I loved that I got the opportunity to ask and hear other questions that Erik Hanberg got to answer. It was really cool to hear from another person in our community talk about taking advantage of the booming tech and make it work for you; in the niche area you desire to jump into.

STARTUP.com

 I was shocked that not a lot of people they talked to use the internet in 2001. Because nowadays a lot of people can't live without it. Also, interesting is that finding a company name was such a big deal, because that's the name people are going to have to invest into and use. Also, it's crazy how lots of other companies were wanting to buy services of GovWorks. Funny how their first interview in Silicon Valley was one where they got critiqued. But ultimately it was for their good, because you don't grow unless you have upsets in the process of your business. I love their excitement that they had on their way to their first interview, but for sure it was one that help them in the long run. It's crazy how hard of a struggle they went through to find investors for their east coast tech company. Nowadays I feel like it would be a lot easier but during that time I can see how hard it would be. I noticed something with the two, was that they were having a hard time settling on what to portray to investors, which I noticed can happen when you start a business in a pair. I think I could only start and run a business with someone I really trust and know. Also I noticed that the use of tech in this documentary was primitive compared to what we have now, back then it was very simple but now it's quite complex. We have way faster laptops, way quicker phones, tablets and a bunch of different high tech that's especially beneficial for business productivity. I love how this documentary shows the behind the scenes of how a tech company comes up. All the way from relationships failing and ones growing closer together. It really gives me a perspective on the reality of business and how crazy it can be. Overall I loved this documentary and how it shows how a tech company was run in the 2000's, very informational and well put together.
