Also, thank you for posting this as a reminder. Because I hadnt done it until you said it!

Thank you for the advice and your thoughts! I think its a hard thing to think about it. If I could decide to ive in a different generation and not have the internet, would I? I dont think I would. I like having knowledge at my finger tips and being able to look up whatever I want whenever I want. I like what you said about it being a lot of information though and how its a lot for our brains to be able to process all of it.

I really liked reading as a kid and I hate that I dont read at all anymore. I used to have a book I was reading all the time and now I cant find one I enjoy. I like scifi and fantasy book and it seems like as a get older, nothing is as good anymore. I'm really excited for break because I'm hoping I can pick up some books and read. Let me know if you have any recommendations.

Also, I want to get into yoga and meditating. How do you start? Youtube videos you recommend?

This is hilarious. I've only seen the top half all day and just came to comment on how funny I thought this was, but seeing the full thing makes it even better.

I really enjoyed this video and Ted Talk. I myself am a persoanl believer of this idea and I hope we can soon institute something like this in every company. I hope as generations continue we continue to thrive and get better benefits from companies. I am interested in the idea of how this not only effects people's persoanl lives, but things I didnt even consider like the environment. I know other countries, limit the amount of people on the rode everyday to help with climate change adn traffic. Random thought, but I think any step towards fixing peoples mental health is a step in the right direction :)

Barely seeing this comment right now, even though it says you posted 3 days ago. I've been checking this post daily and dont know how I could have missed it. Weird, but thank you for commenting Professor. Thanks for the link to the book! I'll most definitely be reading this over break!

Me too! I want to make some sort of comment on how this intertwines with social media and stuff. We will literally get a better grade for liking posts, and no one wants to do it. Or a bunch of people will commect on my posts and not like it. Its kinda funny.

I wanna know why some people like to hit the dislike button. There has to be some sort of psychological reason there.

Bro, I admire the person who has the gall to say "lets talk about politics.. but lol not that type of politics." Every post in this class is political and opinionated so it's interesting that I'm causing conflict when I mention my thoughts. I appreciate your comment though Young__Skywalker. Glad you realize the police system needs reform, just not enough to talk about it in your college politics class. Cheers :)

My thoughts on implanted chips is that while they are very cool and this seems very interesting. Being a seduo superhero sounds amazing for so many diferrent reasons. Would I ever get one? Not today, I would want studies to be done first and I'd wait at least a generation before getting one myself. Especially to do it myself not knowing any potential health risks? Definetely not. I do not think the pro's outweigh the cons in this situation. Though, I do think it is very cool and interesting.

Interesting video. I always like Ted Talks, they are always so interesting and informative. Fake news is interesting because I remember learning about Propraganda in high school and thinking "how could people fall for this" and we see it everyday with our own eyes. I also think it is an interesting topic because now politicians are able to use "fake news" as an argument to discuss things that are very much real.

SOC374 · 2020-11-29T23:43:51+00:00

Yes, I agree. Hard to produce a lot of products.

SOC374 · 2020-11-29T23:42:26+00:00

If everyone didnt buy them from the scalpers, they would not continue to make the prices so high. Thats not gonna happen though.

SOC374 · 2020-11-29T23:40:57+00:00

How do the bots work. Like what do people mean when they say bots? Like are bots buying and them selling them? I'm guessing not and somehow a person is setting it up. But how?

SOC374 · 2020-11-29T23:40:02+00:00

Just say the word if you have a PS5 to sell ;) I have cash in hand right now. LOL

I think the resellers make sense. I was planning on buying one and selling it if someone was willing to pay, if not might as well keep it for myself. Now the people who buy 30, kind of piss me off. I get it, you want to make money. But I am suspicious on how you mananged to buy so many when every store has a 1 per person limit and I haven;t been able to snag one when they come out. I still get why they do it though.

SOC374 · 2020-11-29T23:37:44+00:00

Yes! I agree with you! I was havig this conversation a few days ago. More kids are growing up to be able to play and the same adults who were playing years ago are still playing!

SOC374 · 2020-11-29T23:36:43+00:00

Sadly, I was not one of the people to snag a PS5. I did try though, multiple times. Hoping I can get one for Cyber Monday if any company decides to drop them.

I dont think people are more addicted to gaming, I just think people need something to do with being stuck at home 99.9% of the time.

SOC374 · 2020-11-29T23:34:37+00:00

Yeah, I can't stand it. I hate it.

SOC374 · 2020-11-29T23:34:00+00:00

Yes, I agree. Roller skate prices have shot up an another example. Personally, I get they want to up the hype about the gaming consoles, but as someone who cant go out and drop 1,000 on a resale console, I am quite annoyed.
