Name one piece of technology that has transformed your life or your community for good or ill.

I'm just going to say that I don't know that in the end, I'm really happy with how Facebook and Twitter or have transformed my life when it comes to the relationships I have with certain family members. So anyway, share your thoughts about your community and your life and let me know

We don’t use technology, we abuse it.

This is how these submissions are actually taking place. But unfortunately, people, this is a healthy conversation that we're having right now. But if you have this conversation somewhere on Twitter or some other platform, not to berate those platforms, but just because they have become a certain way in the past few years, we've I would just stick to saying that we don't use Internet, we abuse it

And so with that being said, this pandemic, what's really been highlighted for me is using the combination of social media and Roomi and meet up and these different meeting platforms to actually host think tanks and not just think tanks, but think tanks that we can actually develop projects actually two separate thing tanks that I helped us start now are cooperative businesses

How music and the Internet helped create some peace between China and Japan

What's so amazing to me is the degree to which the Internet and new technologies bring us great advances. And also we lose things too. And it's a double edged sword. I had the experience as a journalist in China back before the Olympics in Beijing, where I was doing some traveling and reporting there. And I got on a train with two musicians who met online

@LSydell

It's your choice to use or do something, whether it's a piece of music or whether it's social communication, making new friends, making a submission on this forum. It's all somehow connected with the Internet, and unfortunately, other dark side of it. Like you said, it's a sword that has two sides to it. And yes, there's a flip side to the coin and other flip side sometimes can be very dark

@LSydell - Play these at 1.5x speed. 😂

So when I see some of that and I realized that, okay, fine. People in the US have embraced it in a very different way. And other same goes for the UK and so many other regions. And when I see the content they put out there sometimes Twitter. Why? I read it. I'm amazed by how you can actually use that. So again, it's up to you over here

Free will v design: can software shape behavior?

And so it therefore favors often controversy and black and white thinking a different design. For example, the design of Swell, I think, might be a little less inclined to favor just pure heat. I don't think people are going to just start yelling at each other, which is kind of what they're doing on other social media. We do have choices. We are humans, and as humans, we have certain tendencies. Most of us want to be heard when we say something

@LSydell - Couldn’t agree more

Oh, no, no, you misunderstood me. Are you absolutely right? Design plays a huge part in that. What I was trying to tell you was that because you see, the most simplest of if you could look at was Twitter. And if you go back and see, like Snapchat, and when it first came out, we just click a photo 10 seconds. Bam, that's it. That's the end of that

I'll give you an example. Let's say notes or notepad. What is it called? Windows Notepad? I guess those applications are so simple. I mean, the design of other application, those applications is minimalistic. It's very simple. It's for you to go and jot down something. You could actually just do something with that app as well. I mean, that app is nothing but a piece of paper in front of you, like a virtual piece of paper

You can actually compare because not all gym sessions are equal, right? 1 hour in the gym, one person is not the same as one other. It depends on other intensity and what kind of workout you do. So I just find that fitness band just gives some sort of numeric context to what you think you are doing in terms of health, and it just provides a means of measurement that's really been useful. And also the small features like a stopwatch on your wrist at all times, etc

@reinmeka - Great pick, bro.

And if you're running, it has so many workforce and whatnot I think new versions of it. I'm looking for the new one plus watch that just came out for 159. $160, and I'm going to go and get it because it looks let's see. I already have an Apple watch, but I just want to get out of this ecosystem

So in compliance with what Ozair said, I'm gonna go with fingerprint scanners because they changed everything with one thumbprint. You can actually get the whole data of someone and that we use a lot in our home hospitals, whether we are checking in or checking out police uses it. Everyone else uses it. I mean, it's used on the airport everywhere. So a single thumbprint can actually lead you to a person. That is something I don't think anyone has thought of about 2030 years ago
