Is technology affecting the educational system financially?

 It is interesting to see the impact of technology and how it has changed many career fields. This has also affected the educational system. I want to take tiktok app for example. Now you can see people on tiktok lip sync to sound made by movie actors  so perfectly to where they gained enough follower and brands start to get notice of them. These brands give them influencers position where they receive monetary compensation, discounted pricing and free clothing deals. some of these influencers also travels a-lot. The travel expenses are paid by the big brand companies. I  enjoyed reading comment on these influencers pages that they receive from their followers. 

Most influencers admit that they  wanted to go to school for acting careers. However, that is no longer needed because they can still make that amount of money. And no need to through school struggles and be in debt. Most of these influencers does not have real talent but because people gravitate to their contents somehow companies offers them deals and even give them careers that requires degrees such as marketing and acting degree. 

Instagram influencers are also taking careers that requires degrees such as marketing degrees  and this in return has affected the educational system financially. In today's society, many glorifies and reward bad behavior. Many parents are now exploiting their children for financial gains through social media. For instance, a mother took her thirteen year old daughter to the Dr Phil show and she acted out of character and ended up becoming famous and now earning millions. It safe to say somehow technology is affecting the educational system financially. Many don't believe in education to succeed anymore.

How Would You Spot a Deep Fake?

 Unfortunately, the modern world is bombarded with a lot of deep fakes. Let take nowadays social media and the impact of it in our society. Instagram have become a huge promoter of unrealistic image especially among women. The false image help people get brand deals and leaving many depressed of their own self- images. There are lot of enhancing apps for beauty such as teeth whitening, toning out skin and many more. I think these issues have promoted poor self-esteem within the community. Some people that per-take in this kind of environment are feeling pressured to look a certain way that seemed unrealistic. The age range that are feeling pressured are mostly youth.  I think deep fake is also another form that exist in our society today especially in the form of plastic surgery.

I think deep fake has been taking

Experience Creating an HTML

 My experience creating HTML  web page is quite adventurous. Navigating from the tool using mac was a quite frustrating for me. I finally found text finder which is equivalent to notepad.  I then tried to navigate through the program and instruction list.  Following the instruction list, i could not figure it all out. I therefore resort to google searching and youtube. Then I was able to find a you-tuber that was very helpful and i was able to do some programing on my  text finder. The directions were pretty hectic but i pushed through and to be honest this was the most complex task i have done for school.  I pride myself in following directions and highly attention to details but this was on another level. I focused so hard to get my details right. I was happy to get something when i google searched the website. Prior to that when i clicked the link nothing came up. I went back and rewatched the youtube video and found few things that i missed. I tried to fix it as best i can but the
