Dopamine Issues

  • Modern technolgy has led to an easy acces of dopamine
  • Easy access to dopamine raises things liek stress levels and it is hard to find other things fun after that
  • Social Media and digital companies pray of the fact that people, especially kids, get addicted to thier apps such as tiktok

Personal

  • I think I use my phone a little too much but it is nothing threatening seeing I play sports, maintain good grades and have a social life.
  • I should consider decreasing screen time to combat procrastination

Digital Divide

  • Unlike our school, lots of others have little to the technology we have
    • we take our technology for granted
  • When the pandemic hit and digital learning increased, people who didnt have constant access to internet or technology suffered.

How does someone that is empowered help someone that is not empowered? Describe something you could do at Del Norte HS.

  • If someone is more digitally empowered than another. THe obvious step is to share. Sharing resoucres such as wifi or laptops or iphones can help digitally empower another student.
  • Another way of helping without directly providing something physical is helping/teaching. Doing things like signing up for tutorial or asking questions from more knowledgable peers will help one increare there digital power

Is paper or red tape blocking digital empowerment? Are there such barriers at Del Norte? Elsewhere?

  • Paper and red tape can slow down and stop digital empowerment becuase they make it harder to access information. These older systems take up more time and are less effiecnt as well as less knowledgeable. Digitilizing information makes it more convientint and effecient for others.
  • Example : Blocks on websites on PUSD Wifi
    • some neccesary websites and applications require the bypassing of the school wifi.
