[lakshusan]

I learned that there is a fair combination of both negative and positive effects as a result of new computer innovations. Things like addiction and sleep loss could be a large negative effect of new innovations, such as the increasing popularity of social media. The positive effects include the great increase in efficiency, communication, and research opportunities. I enjoyed your lesson!

I learned about the different beneficial and harmful effects of technology and in how a lot of the harmful effects are unintentional like face id not recognizing a person of color. I also learned about loot boxes any hey are bad, due to the fact they cause gambling addictions and also scrolling on social media gives our brain a hit of dopamine.

I learned about the effects of technology in harmful ways, such as dopamine rushes, mental health effects, and sleep deprivation. If used the wrong way, technology can be really addicting and have harmful effects on the user. On the positive side, technology has bridged many gaps in society that we didn't have in the past. We can be more efficent, communicate from far away, expand our knowledge, and have acess to almost anything.

From this lesson I learned many different things like harmful and beneficial effects of technology as well as unintended use. I learned how important it is to factor in all of the results of something new. Even though technology has the power to give people resources or allow communication from people across the world, technology can be harmful if not monitored. Its always important to have moderation and not get sucked into spending hours and hours watching videos or playing games.

I learned about the many beneficial and harmful effects, as well as the unintended uses of innovation. This lesson taught me that while unintended uses of innovation can not be completely avoided, it is possible to predict the risks of an innovation and mitigate the risks. Additionally, I learned that technology has negative effects when misused. For instance, iPhone screen time can be high if over-used. Therefore, it's important to use technology responsibly and use it in moderation.

This lesson helped me learn about unintended consequences and intended consequences of innovations. The unintended consequences can come from unintended usage or unintended psychological connection. For example, cyber bullying, technology addiction, and reduced mental health as a result of anonymous social media accounts and dopamine. Unintended consequences can also be positive. It is important to think of all possible ways tech might impact others (even though you can't predict all the ways).

[vibha-yganji]

This lesson has taught me the good and harmful effects of new computing innovations and how unintended uses of innovation may occur which the programmers could not have predicted. I also learned about the biological basis of dopamine reward loops which really proved how a physiological change occurs after overuse of a certain innovation. The lesson provided a lot of insight into harmful effects of computing innovations and I really enjoyed it as well!

[sergi1207]

This lesson provided insights into both the unintended and intended consequences of innovations. Unintended consequences may arise from unintended usage or unintentional psychological associations. For instance, issues such as cyberbullying, technology addiction, and diminished mental well-being can stem from factors like anonymous social media accounts and the impact of dopamine. On a positive note, unintended consequences can also bring about favorable outcomes. It is crucial to consider various ways in which technology might affect individuals, even though predicting all potential impacts may be challenging.

[hanlunli]

This lesson taught me about the harmful and beneficial effects of computing innovations, and how innovation can be used in ways that weren't intended. Some beneficial things that have come out of computing innovations have been increases in ease of use, and better communication, while some unintended consequences include cyber bullying, addiction, and loss of sleep.

[SGTech08]

The lesson taught me about the effects of innovations. We assume that all technological advancements are good but this lesson taugh me that this is false. Some beneficial things that have come out of these advancements are better communication and ease of use. Some negative effects are cyber bullying, loss of sleep, and addiction

I learned about the positives of technology but mainly the downsides or the side effects of technology and the ways it can be bad. There are examples like gambling or illegal uses. The jobs that are lost from computers innovating new ideas instead of humans. Computers are becoming more apart of our lives and it will be used for personal gain like dopamine and other bad things. There are also many good things but this teach looked specialized in more bad.
