Technology
1. What is it?
Social media- It is a technology that is computer-based and which allows people to build virtual networks and communities where they can share information, ideas, and thoughts (Hjorth & Hinton, 2019).
2. Why did you choose it?
I chose this technology because it has been widely adopted. Despite the many challenges that are associated with it, many people are already using various social media platforms.
3. At this point, very briefly state what you think the answers to the six questions below will be. Why?
a. What is the problem for which this technology is the solution?
This technology solves the problem of connectivity. It allows people to connect virtually with people around the world. This way, people know what is happening around the world in the shortest time possible (Hjorth & Hinton, 2019).
b. Whose problem is it?
The problem of connectivity is a problem that affects all people around the world. This is because we all want to connect with others and know what is happening around us.
c. Which people and what institutions might be most seriously harmed by a technological solution?
This technological solution is likely to harm media institutions because people will no longer depend on them to get information. It will be difficult for media institutions to inform people because people will have multiple sources of information.
d. What new problems might be created because we have solved this problem?
After solving the problem of connectivity, social media might create the problem of addiction to social media. It can also facilitate the spreading of false news due to inadequate restrictions in social media (Anderson & Jiang, 2018).
e. What sort of people and institutions might acquire special economic and political power because of technological change?
Companies that manufacture and sell technological devices are most likely to benefit from technological changes. Also, those that offer internet-related services like Google might benefit economically.
f. What language changes are being enforced by new technologies and what is being gained and lost by such changes?
The connectivity created by technology is forcing people to use the languages that are understood by many, for example, English. Through this, people are gaining mastery of these languages. However, they are losing the mastery of their native languages.
4. What steps will you take to answer the questions?
To answer these questions, I will consider the technology I have chosen and the trends in its usage. I will also consider the benefits and challenges of its usage. Doing so will enable me to answer all these questions.
5. What obstacles (if any) do you see in your way to answering the questions?
One obstacle I see is that some of the questions do not specify if the reference is on the technology I chose or technology in general. It will therefore be difficult to establish the most appropriate answer for such a question.
