Homemade Masks

New Stylish Protective Masks

      As the Covid-19 has grown out of the control these past three months, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends to the public that they were medical masks in order to try to slow down the spread of the coronavirus. Naturally, these medical masks have become scarce, because the whole country is constantly trying to buy them to keep their friends and families safe. 


      We need masks as a protective gear these days. Many designers and creative professionals took it upon themselves to design fashionable and colorful masks to sell online. I find these creative masks to be an amazing idea because these masks will work to keep individuals healthy, and they are also a fun and creative way to boost up morale during this pandemic time. I find it so inspiring that individuals and companies are trying to find a way to be helpful during this global health crisis. For example, Etsy is a website that focuses on all handmade items. Etsy has decided to create several different types of homemade masks for people in need. People all over the world are creating these masks in order to make sure all the medical and surgical masks go to people who are working in the hospitals every day in search of a cure to this horrible disease. These individuals are making these masks in their own homes in order to stay positive and busy during this quarantine. 


      These designers are really taking the creation of these masks seriously by making sure that they are following the Center for Disease Control's guidelines on what makes a suitable mask for health care professionals. A designer named Batanti- Khalfani has created colorful masks like in the photo above for both all members of society, including health providers. Health professionals are loving this idea of colorful masks because it is a little joy that is put in their current stressful work life. I feel that these creative masks should only be released to the health care department, when it is definitely confirmed that they provide the same protection as surgical masks. I believe in this because these health care workers are the people who are risking their lives every day. We need to make sure that they have the right equipment on them to keep them as safe as possible at all times.
      I personally love this idea of creative masks. I love how even though this virus has caused so much damage and sadness to our country, it has always brought us together as a country. This virus has encouraged people to go out of their way to try and help others that they know are suffering. This virus has definitely allowed our country to put away our egos, and come together as one. The creative masks are just one example of people having the country's best interest at heart.

Positives & Negatives of Technology  Technology is one of the greatest inventions this world has ever seen. Technology has allowed our society to thrive in all different subjects. It has allowed us to learn new ideas and opinions in a split second. We are able to keep up with what is going on in the world around us at all times. Although technology has connected us all together, it has also drifted us apart as well. Technology is permanent, it never forgets your mistakes. Technology allows people to destroy the lives of others with a click of a button. Technology can be both very helpful, but it also can be very hurtful to society. Throughout these two videos, I learned a lot about technology as a whole. Technology was developed to improve mankind. It was made to provide society with a simpler path to commerce and communication. In many ways, it did just that. Technology has allowed some of the greatest inventions,  such as cell phones, GPS, and computers. However,...

Breaking Twitter News

Breaking Twitter News On February 3rd, 2019, a massive security incident occurred on Twitter where people's phone numbers became matched to their username, leading people's personal information to be exposed all over Twitter.  A large network of fake accounts hacked into Twitter's API system and matched usernames to phone numbers. This process is known as scraping, in that fake accounts focus on collecting huge numbers of people's personal information and share it all over social media networks. Scraping is highly against Twitter's terms of service. It is completely illegal to gather and access information that way. The fake accounts were linked to several different countries, such as Malaysia, Iran, and Israel. Twitter released a statement tweet on their site that day explaining how they have corrected the issue, and they are going to embark on an extensive investigation to make sure this event doesn't occur again.     These types of scandal...

Diffusions of Innovations

The Innovation of Snapchat    Snapchat is a mobile app that allows people to send pictures and videos to each for only a short period of time. It was created and displayed to the public in 2011.  The co-founder of Snapchat, Evan Siegel, created this app as a way to encourage a natural flow of interaction through the use of images. It allows you to have a private person-to-person conversation through the use of timed images. They're all different types of filters you can put on your images in order to make your conversations fun and interesting!    I think the reason, why the idea of Snapchat has caught on and spread quickly throughout the world, is because it gives you the ability to express yourself through a unique conversation. All the different filters within Snapchat allow people to be their real and funny self by not having to take conversations so seriously. The use of the different components on Snapchat caused the app to spreadly widely ov...
