AJ's Adventures in Lymes Disease (Get to know the Blogger)

Image
This exact page of Blog posts has mentioned the ailments I have gone through in the past 2 years. I think now is a good time to expand and elaborate on what exactly I, as a person am being put through every day. You will read my story and learn all about Lymes Disease. I hope in some small way the point of today's post can be to raise awareness for those who are affected by this horrific crippling life-altering disease. Hearing anyone's story is enough to feel lots of empathy, but I wanted the main topic that involves what encompasses most of my life in these recent years, and what is the most critical aspect. Right now it's the disease I'm fighting with every day. It is my demon, and I have to slay it, and I want you to be as informed about this kind of hardship, and how it affects people. By explaining my journey it gives people a look into the enigma that is the elusive Lymes Disease. Before I go into my Journey I would like to mention that you should absolutely look

The Illusory Truth Effect: As Presented by my Classmates, and reinforced Upon in M'own Way

Image
 This concept is the tendency to believe false information to be correct after repeated exposure.     It is interesting because this simple concept with a simple name is actually very applicable to our class and our society as we know it and live it. It's extremely on topic with everything we have been discussing. For instance, we know that companies are controlling every aspect of their applications to send us information. Each website knows you and distributes the information you receive accordingly. This is where the concept applies.       You may not think this happens to you, but if you use google Twitter, or Instagram. These programs are making an algorithm and trying to learn exactly who you are and what you want to see. And what you want to see might be news, and might be the news you want. However, that news might not be true, but it's the one you want, so it's what you'll always get it.     As one major example of one kind of effect of this concept, we can qui

A.J. Blorg: Your Online Presence this Christmas

Image
M'first Instagram Photo circa May 2014  This is an interesting concept to explore and explain through this medium. I like explaining my thoughts through this medium as it helps me comprehend my own understanding and opinions better when they are written out. Now writing about my position within the internet will help me understand my online footprint a little more clearly.      It's interesting how I mentioned not usually explaining and writing out my opinions online. That type of online interaction is reserved for Twitter from what I've come to understand as I don't have one. I think of Instagram as photo-based, Twitter as opinion and statement-based, and Facebook as a middle ground between messages and photos. To begin, I would like to state for the record that I have no Twitter, I have a Facebook, but it is unused by me much like many of my peers. Instagram is where my biggest footprint is. There are at least half a decades worth of archived photos. I have a private

Final Blorg: AJ Vela and the State of Humanity as he knows it

Image
  All Pictures Involve original Archived Highschool Online Tomfoolery To Give Example of its Everyday use     The brand new era is upon humanity. That may very well be a stretch, but as far as I am concerned I have gone through 20% of what I will experience in life. I remember finishing off 5th grade in 2010 at my 10% point thinking that I had so much wisdom living through all 5 years of school. So now I find it funny that I am currently in a similar mindset as the decade is finishing again. Now, this blog isn't going to be about me, it's about humanity and how it's been shaped over the past recent decades. I think the key to really understanding the changes in humanity is through the way I experience the most humanity. That would be through myself and through the community that is our society how I perceive it.      Anyone who is living as an active member of our communities and society will know that we have developed so much of our recent culture by way of a major planet

What if we Integrated Vertically? A Comprehensive Explanation

Image
      Unfortunately, I missed my class presentation on a topic I had done my research for and was prepared to explain. Here I wish to lay out my information clearly, but the public speaking over the computer practice would've helped me a little. Despite that, I'd like to explain Vertical Integration and how we see it in today's communities and cultures.    Definition:     A company has full control and ownership over its all assets, to get overall control of the value of all of the companies said assets. While requiring a lot of upfront investment, which is seen as the main detriment to the strategy, this method of control is usually used for the benefit of companies. Example:      My classmate who did her presentation used a great example which I will list here. Netflix is a company using vertical integration to a very clear degree. They begin as a DVD rental business before moving into online streaming of films and movies licensed from major studios. Then Netflix realized

The Scariness of Technology

Image
     I looked at some of the TED talks and they're very informative. However, nothing compares to the way I reacted to a Netflix documentary known as the Anti-social Network. I hope it's okay for my professor if I go in-depth about this documentary because I think the same things I mention directly apply to what he's looking for.     While having Corney sketches mixed within it the documentary, they conclude and become very impactful among everything else the documentary tells its audience. They revolve around kids trying to go without their phones, and how it literally breaks some of these people's mentality to not have them. The impact on children can't be understated as social media is essentially the other half of your world, or how you view your world depending on the ways you look at it.  Either scenario is bad, and I'm aware that I grew up at the beginning of the social media stage without being fully immersed, and I believe I can say the same for my age
