I am a student in CIS2.
The topic I chose was Reducing Child Mortality. Today's world is slowly reaching their goal of reducing the mortality rate lower and lower. I feel that the technology that we have now is more than enough to help those in need, however the problem is not solely because of the technology needing to reach its destination but those who do not use the help to its fullest extent. This subject really matters to me because I really love families. No mother should have to lose their baby because of healthcare negligence.

1. Introductions
Selected Media:http://teachthought.com/technology/20-basic-rules-for-digital-citizenship/
I feel that every person starting out with using technology should cover the basics. Just because people communicate through the internet does not mean that they should be treated any different from people they see in real life. Manners do matter.

New Search:https://www.aclu.org/issues/free-speech/internet-speech
The ACLU talks about wanting an uncensored environment on the internet. Freedom of speech online is just as important as it would be in real life. If people are having to constantly censor themselves on the internet, then there would be no point of posting opinions at all.
3. Intellectual Property

This article talks about the goals for education in the future. Putting children in school, improving education, and global citizenship are their goals.
Selected Media:http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/education.shtml
As of right now, this topic is very relevant. By 2015, the goal is to put every child will be able to go through primary schooling. Every child should be allowed education. I feel that it will bring society together by ensuring that everyone's children are at equal terms in education at the very least.
Selected Media:http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/computer-technology-will-transform-schools-future/
Education in the future will change with the help of technology since technology has already been changing society.

The RI community makes it so that the people who come up with the idea and make the concepts are also responsible for whatever happens with their technology. It not only gives people recognition but they are able to have their own responsibilities.

Selected Media:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubiquitous_computing
This gives a good description of what humans are trying to achieve with technology today. Developers are trying to make it so that everyone can use the internet with any device at any time like a fridge or shoes. I feel that people should be aware that technology really is taking over society as we know it, but that does not necessarily mean that it is a bad thing. Everything has just been to make life much more simple and convenient.

Although the title may look off-putting because of the word "disruptive," but it is only referring to the fact that technology impact is so strong that it actually changes the way that humans live in their daily lives. Robotics and Medicines have changed. and advanced so much because of such.
