BrandYourself

 Hello, My name is Malik Shabazz. I recently went on the the website https://brandyourself.com/old-accounts to determine what my status is online. I have nothing that damages my reputation and I've cleaned up things that have my name in it. There are other people with my name and are associated with bad things, and I've improved the google search to remove those things when you looking for me. I'm a hard worker and ready to work for a great company.

I took this photo looking out the window in my room.  You don't really have any negative space in this picture. You have a downward view looking at the front of Brown. 

I took this photo in my pod's bathroom. There's a pattern in this picture because of the tiles on the floor that repeat. This photo is kind of dull, there aren't any bright colors that make this picture stand out.

I took this photo standing outside of Brown. You have a high viewpoint looking up at the sky. There's a lot of negative space because there wasn't really any clouds out.  The bright sky makes the picture stand out a little more than the other two.

I also took this photo standing outside. You have a picture looking at Ball residence.  You have multiple colors within in this picture that gives it a nice balance.

Social media bio

 Going through the process of writing a social media bio. I wanted to make it short and simple and to give an idea of what my page will consist of, so I came up with this. "Your favorite daily news sports page. This page will talk about the recent/past events in the sporting world that involves football and basketball. #SportsEnthusiast."  https://www.tiktok.com/@leekknowsball?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

Black Mirror analysis

 Everything is based off of ratings on a 1-5 scale.

The main character is trying to do everything in her power to get a 4.5 rating to buy a new spot

She so caught in comparing herself to others, that she doesn't even realize what it's doing to her mentally.

She constantly acts fake to help get a higher rating. 

Inside China's Vast New Experiment in Social Ranking

    The fiction future is already the present the article states "Cash, Liu could see, had been largely replaced by two smartphone apps: Alipay and WeChat Pay." The world as we known is being ran by digital devices. If you have a digital device you can pay for things without cash, which means you don't need cash or a wallet. The article talks about how China used a social credit system that gives you an estimated credit score. But in order to use the app you have to basically give up all your information. The narrator stated this "Alipay knows that at 1pm on the afternoon of August 26, I rented an Ofo brand bike outside Shanghai's former French Concession and rode north, parking it across from Jing 'an Temple" This is currently happening everywhere. They are ranked by their credit score and get certain perks if they have a high score. Digital devices are constantly taking time from us the narrator stated he began to check his phone obsessively to see if his score was getting higher. People that had high credit scores can get huge loans, go to luxury hotels, and could even skip security in the airport. People would try to do everything in their power to get a higher score. But things that were bad about the system is that you can get penalized, people who cheated during a test were penalized, legal issues you were penalized, and even being friends with people who had lower scores would penalize you. What I would do differently and is to give a proper warning to people about what the app may do with your information. I also wouldn't penalize people for things like cheating on a test, but I would penalize people who have done serious crimes.

Real- life Black Mirror:

China has already deemed the future as the present. " China's controversial social credit system – which ranks all of its 1.4 billion citizens on their behavior in real-time – is real, and it's on track to launch by 2020." This is a similar system that was being used in the black mirror episode. China has plenty of cameras around so that can constantly track you and what you're doing. I feel like this is a bad idea because it can cause people to act fake towards others, to maintain a high score. It also isn't fair for the people who doesn't want to be a part of this and still get penalized and now they can't send their kid to a private school or get a loan to purchase a house. I feel this is the starting point of something terrible. As the years go own, they could make this stricter and it could impact your life heavily. For example, in the black mirror episode people could rate you immediately, if they added something like this it could cause people to go crazy trying to maintain a high score or even hurt themselves because of a low score.

I don't feel good about this information at all. I want my brand to help people receive sports news. I don't want to invade their privacy or rate them on anything they do.

Notes of social dilemma

 If you don't buy the product then you're are the product

Social media apps want to see how much time you can take out of your life to be on their app

persuasive technology is them trying to modify your behavior to click or buy something. It's an unconscious habit that you don't even realize. Slot machines is a good example of persuasive technology.

Many people isolate themselves because they're addicted to technology.

There has been an increase in depression and anxiety 

Google actually auto fills what you're searching based off where you live and what you recently looked up.

Fakes news spreads 6 times quicker than real news. This can cause a lot of problems, which can cause people do stupid things.  People would lost trust in the government and everyone around them, which can cause a huge protest. 

Website reflection

     I actually ended up going in a completely different direction than my brand guide. I had a purple and orange layout with a w logo that stood for winning. I changed my website to a red and black scheme with an LKB logo, which stands for LeekKnowsBall. My website consists of me talking about sports and the main two sports I will be having news on are basketball and football. Considering this is the first website I've made, I don't think it's too bad. I could definitely improve on it, but I think my color scheme is solid and the layout isn't too bad. I really didn't know what else to add to my website. It may seem kind empty than your prototypical website.  https://shabma47.wixsite.com/my-site
