In week 14, civic technology sounds quite intriguing to me. One side effect of the internet is having a visceral understanding of the problems of our present. While technology offers an endless list of comforts, entertainment, and benefits, learning how technology can be used for change, even on local levels, is exciting and comforting. The assignment on reviewing AI fiction also sounds interesting and up my alley. Being a fan of all media, viewing different individuals’ imaginations on future technologies is always intriguing. Engaging with cultural conversation with these fictions gives way to our concerns of future technologies. Who will innovate, who will it be innovated for, who will oversee keeping future technology in our best interests. etc. As the semester continues, dipping into topics like how technology can aid developing solutions to problems like wealth inequality, climate change, and others could be interesting. Basically, how can we as a society maximize the productivity of technology rather than simply for the use of comfort and ease.
