IT and you
Sometimes it's useful to stop and think a bit about your own experiences and focus on your own views. This can help you understand issues in more depth. For example, when studying the impact of IT on everyday life, your own experiences are a useful resource.
Think of ways in which your own life has changed as a result of the introduction of IT. This could be at work, in your education, in your leisure-time activities, or in your own home. Are all of these changes things that you have welcomed? Or are there areas where you would have preferred things to stay the same?
When it comes to IT in an education sense, for the most part most of the changes I agree to. However, due to the prevalence of needing tighter security, most students have to give up any form of privacy thanks to all major education establishments MITM every single network request done on their network which I personally find abhorrent, even though I understand the rationale behind the decision.
When it comes to leisure-time, for the most part, it has gotten far worse thanks to the prevalence of big tech companies making it so that you do not own the media you stream which I fight back hard on by locally hosting my own media and streaming it to devices that I outright own.
