Technology in 2020

 With the elections here and the world going crazy, it only makes sense to talk about how the internet has also changed. Shira Ovide, the author of the article I found, makes two great observations. The first one being how Google, Facebook, and other social media and web browsers are "gatekeepers" to information. Along with the first point, point two, how they exercise their power is unknown to us. 

For example, Trump tweeted the elections were being stolen from him before the votes where counted. Twitter and Facebook quickly put up warning labels to his post and any false information about voting. 


I think it is so crazy how fast it happens and that they are so addimant about what people post on internet companies, no matter who they are. I think it is a good thing they are doing it because no one likes back news so why would the internet companies want that associated with them. I am glad I found this article and hope that you guys enjoy the rest of your day or night.

Fun fact, the last Tecopa Pupfish was seen in 1970. The Tecopa Pupfish is about 1.5 to 3 inches in an adult size, it became extinct because of the drying out of water, climate change and the introduction of fish to its natural habitat. This fish would hide from its predators by digging into the mud or soil and they would also do that to keep warm from the hot and cold temperature.
