Assignment #4 in Honors 100 was the Global Challenges 2019 event. The topic was, "Technology, ethics, and social change...who cares?", which I found incredibly relevant and fascinating. On the left are my notes that I took during the event, and on the right is my reflection from the event.
I found all of the speakers to be very engaging. Through their discussion, I was enlightened to new perspectives about ethics in technology. The implications of "new" technology affect every community differently. I've learned that "better" technology is not necessarily designed to be "better" for everyone, something that I never realized. Leaving Global Challenges, I felt driven to think about technology in a more people-centered way. I was inspired to contemplate and act upon the ways in which the design, production, and implementation of technology could be ethicized and uplifting towards underprivileged communities.
