Blog #3
Comp 2: This week was very interesting in Comp 2 to say the least. We read a bunch of articles which discussed different topics and struggles. Our Ai Discussion was one of our discussions where we shared as a class how the use of AI can be impacting Gen Z in a negative way. The people of our generation have been losing their creativity and some even see AI as too normalized in society now. Also, the tracking and collection of data is a big problem for privacy and surveillance concerns. We also read poems that shared similar themes but discussed different life events. One poem was about a loss and grief, while the other poem was about The end of the World and how it contrasts with a party like setting.
Ethnographics: This week was interesting. In this week, we looked at Ethnographic maps. These maps show us how people interact with spaces and not just map layouts. These maps also show and allow us to understand movement, culture, and relationships. These maps consist of Spatial maps, Organizational maps, process maps, and Life history maps. Finally, we can see how map layouts allow us to understand human patterns. Furthermore, we learned how observation can focus on both people and the environment and what you focus on changes how you interpret a thing or space.
