EOTO 2: How foreign money effects sports

Image
      In recent news, Phil Mickelson has been in the spotlight a lot because of his gambling habits and other acts that have taken place on and off the golf course. However, his most notable is his outward support for the LIV golf tour. The whole concept of this tour is it is less golf and a lot more money however, there is a moral dilemma facing each player that goes and plays on this tour. All of the money that is provided to the players is originating within the Saudi Arabian government. To start off they do have a lot of money because most of it is not regulated and there is just so much of it in circulation that they have far more money to offer a player like Phil Mickelson a lot of money. Morally, having American players go play in a country that provided the majority of the nine eleven hijackers will be met with scrutiny and anger from the public. The whole idea of this blog post is to measure the efficacy of taking foreign money from a country like Saudi Arabia, a known country

 Social media has a very unique relationship with the modern-day child as it allows for constant brain stimulation while also having many unintended consequences that come along with it. Many children can get so wrapped up in social media and the internet that it destroys their whole ability to experience joy and happiness as a result of the constant stimulation provided by social media.      A prime example of this is tik tok. This app revolutionized the way I and many others with ADHD view the internet. Every video is in the maximum attention range of five to twenty-five seconds. As a result, someone can be scrolling for hours on end and not even realize it because of how fresh the brain stimulation is with every new video that you swipe onto and look at. After a while you begin to ask yourself the question, "Am I spending too much time and energy on the internet and these different apps?" This is something that I believe many people struggle with because it is so easy to s

Age of AI

Ai is a long talked about topic that is ever-growing day to day and there are some initial pros to this new technology. The first pro to Ai is the reduction of human error in different departments. Since the Ai is driven by a computer, there is less room for a mistake since the whole process is run off of a code. However, there are a few negatives to Ai when it relates to privacy. This is all great and it does save costs on operating certain jobs, however, there is an inevitable transfer of information between the system which leads to privacy concerns. The first issue would be due to data persistence. This means that data will be available for much longer than when it is created which is largely driven by the low storage costs. Another example of something that can go wrong with Ai is data repurposing. This happens when certain data that is stored within Ai gets used for another purpose than it was originally intended to be used for. One last example of a con that can happen with Ai i

Privacy

     The issues that were discussed in these videos have affected me my friends and my family in many ways. Recently, my mother had her credit card information leaked from her phone because her information was compromised on the website. Online security is not a new concept or subject of conversation in the public. Throughout tech companies, there is new security that is now built into the new technology as a standard practice. I believe that this can help reduce the number of problems that people tend to encounter with privacy and security when using their devices. The government's involvement in online security is always going to be a hot topic among the public because many people in America would rather run the risk of being hacked by a foreign entity than having the government all in their business being able to see everything. This would be a very fair viewpoint for someone to come from and it is understandable.       In order to properly protect ourselves from being hacked on

 After watching these two videos it can be seen that the two perspectives are very anti-war. However, in the mainstream media, there is not much anti-war content that can be seen in the mainstream media. This could be for a couple reasons. The main reason would be the entertainment audience. It is much more entertaining to look at and view stories that have more of a pro-war bias because of how much more content can be produced by looking at the recent events through the lens of someone that is pro-war.  When a news company talks of war, there are so many different avenues that they can go down when discussing the event such as war strategy, economic effects, and much more. Since they are able to produce more content using this, they will ultimately make more money as a result because they will be able to produce more options for the viewer. Moving on to the next point of why it was so hard to find these websites that give an anti-war perspective, this is because all of the media compa

 The invention that I chose I the iPhone. This product was revolutionary in user experience within a smart phone. Apple, is founded on the basis of producing good reliable products for their customers. They built up their early reputation with the invention of the MacBook in 2006. The MacBook proved to be the cornerstone for how apple planned to market their new iPhone to their customers. Originally the first iPhone caught on to consumers and caused them to be early adopters of the product because of how easy it was to operate compared to the other phones that were available in that time. Apple also put up many consumer friendly stores in big cities which eventually spread to thousands of locations all across the United States. However, the iPhone still is not considered the most successful worldwide which would lead one to believe that there are till many doubters of the product or just people that believe there is a better product out there by a different company such as android.

New Technology I learned from someone else

Image
 The technology that I learned from someone is Hummingbird Mega 360 imaging. It was brought into the public market in 2019 and has taken over the industry not only in the northern region of the United States, but also in the southern region. This technology revolutionized bass fishing sonar as it was previously known. The brand new technology allows the fisherman to see a full three hundred sixty degree view of what is happening around the boat. Up until this new technology was released, the only way to see what was going on around the boat was with a down sonar or side imaging, which is not nearly as effective as seeing it up on a screen right in front of you. Overall, the basic advantage of having this newer technology available is it allow the angler to be far more efficient in the way that they attack a lake because they are able to see the direction of the structure being displayed. Thus, it allows the angler to be able to hit the mark on the first cast as it is much easier to int
