Mission 2:Culture/Product



PERSONAL DATA TRACKING



"PRODUCT"


Our team decided to present our project using the powerpoint presentation, talking about the behavior of good and bad online trackers.
  I achieved some knowledge in this field and using the following method to understand human nature, I asked my friend who was trying to quit his smoking bad habit to track himself using the following apps: 
  • Fitness
  •  Healthy Diet
  •  Quit smoking 
  • Sleeping cycle alarm clock app

And the result surprised me as I noticed when he's doing Fitness during the week he's smoking one cigarette per day, and other days the number of cigarettes is increasing. In conclusion, I can say that this type of apps is working for some people, who can not control themselves and need any technological interference. His reaction was also surprised him, and now he is going to continue to use those apps, until the final result. I hope, he will do it, and I am so happy that I can help him. Below was the chart that I asked him to complete and looking at it we can see how Data Visualization can help to understand human nature.


The older generation who maybe never heard about online trackers can sleep without using a sleeping App, can manage and organize their life without any apps, but the new generation who are too close to technology can not live without it. 
During my researches, I have been shocked at how it is possible to track all your personal information. 

 During my part of the presentation, I represented Advantages and Disadvantages. 
As a parent, I am tracking my children's online behaviour using the Family Link app, and that type of app can do the following:


Advantages 


1)Kids online behaviour

▪ PARENTS CAN CONTROL AMOUNT OF TIME SPENDING ONLINE
▪ TRACK THEIR LOCATION
 ▪ BLOCK TEXT & APP


2)Teenagers online behaviour:

SPYZIE new type of app, which can help you to track teenagers online behaviour:

  • View Call History
  • text messages 
  • Track Locations 
  • Monitor Facebook
  •  Instagram
  •  Record Wifi History
  •  Monitor multimedia files 
  • App blocking

There are also disadvantages :

Disadvantages:

1)
Medical files 
A few years ago in one of the famous hospitals in the USA a few medical records information had been tracked by online trackers and announced a huge scandal.
2)
Bank details
Some rich people, politicians are keeping their money in Offshore Banks, as they don't desire to be tracked by online trackers.
3)
Social media
Famous people, celebrities they all not too happy to be tracked by online trackers as they tracking all their online behaviour and annoying them, their personal life.

Mission3:Methodology/Reflection

Digital Journalism "Reflection" When we started this mission I thought we are going to make our own video using our theme.   Then, our lecturer Mr.Shaun explained how we must organize our work.   For me, it should be Clear, Concise and Consistent.  Our group worked very hard, but the hardest work did Rosie, to be honest. As the project should be looked at as one product, and everything should look coherent, Rosie helped us to put it all together. She is the best team member I have ever met. We used the following tools to create our product Adobe Premiere Pro, StoryMap, audio, and music part as well. As we are talking about Digital Journalism, we should also mention the main principals of it: Print, Radio, and TV included Interactive Journalism.  In our product, we also talked about how people are celebrating Christmas around the world, and what special traditions they have on that day. Now, looking at the ba...

What does it mean " Methodology"?  No idea!   When I started my third mission I read about methodology and chose Image Visualization with my friend Julia, and we started to do our researches, to understand what it is, and how we can do it. I've already decided to do film visualization, like a video essay, and Julia was trying to do Image visualization: barcode, and so on.  Then, something unexpected happened. I and Julia cannot do this mission together, as we’re worked together on the first mission group.  WHAT?   Yes, we must start again...   S o, I looked around in our lab and noticed that Rosie and Niamh having nice chat and discussion.
