When her social media connection is too strong, her projects bombard someone with thoughts of not using social media or a smartphone for a while, making someone creative, critical and serious about life.
3. Was her project informative? List down all the information you learned from her TED talk.
Yes, her project was informative. Because, as people who were born into a world of technological growth, we rely on our phones on a daily basis. Her effort served as a reminder that we should accomplish things that are important and necessary, as well as be productive. They utilize phones for people, they partnered with some apps that tracked how much time we spent on our phones each day.
4. How frequent do you use your phone? Can you see yourself doing the speaker's challenge?
We frequently use our phones during our online class.
Also, I use my phone whenever I ask my friends a question, and family how they have been. Additionally, when I have free time, I spend my time browsing on social media such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Yes, I see myself doing speakers challenge because I’ve experience what they are going through.
I use my phone if there is an emergency and need to contact someone, sometimes I use my phone every day to look my social media. I can see myself doing the challenge because when I am doing something I will leave my phone and finish my task as soon as possible.
5. What are the possible implications of multi-tasking? Do we finish more or do we finish less tasks than focusing on one (1) task at a time?
When it comes to accomplishing your job or task, multitasking is beneficial since it
allows you to move through multiple tasks at the same time, however if we look at it closely, the work or task progresses slowly. I like to complete fewer tasks rather than concentrate on a single task at a time because it allows you to become a more productive person because all of the ideas in the task you are working on have a variety of approaches and ideas for making your work or task better.
For me, multi-tasking is strange, because I can do more sometimes it can be less so that it depends on people how they can deal with it.
I think it depends on the person multiple intelligences, there are people who can finish task effectively and efficiently when multi-tasking while other do not. There are people who multi-task but the job is not done properly, there are errors or defects and make them feel stressed.
6. According to the search engineer at Google, why is technology built to trigger social media users an itchy feeling if they are not with their phones?
People are a little bit insane because they are addicted to using phones and gadgets. That was the technology's chance our feeling when we are not on our phones, it feels humiliated and emotionally experience at first, and they feel lonely. People believe that if they don't pay attention to their phone for an hour, they will lose an hour.
