The end

This week one of the projects was about voting. I am completely for the technological progression of voting. The easier it is to vote the better off the entire country will be. That is, if people actually take advantage and vote. Earlier this week there was a group of people walking around campus asking if people were registered to vote. They had a form and would register you there and then if you were not already. That was very helpful because people did not have to go out of their way to register. There should be a bigger movement that is similar or just not requiring a registration process. Also, the security of a technological advancement should be highly monitored. I have watched House of Cards and the level of corruption on that show has to translate to some level on real government issues. So, that is scary. Overall, the voting process should be simplified and more people would participate. The app that was created was not extremely thought through but it was heading in the right direction.

The second project was the one dealing with depression. That project was extensive in the amount of features and services. However, I do not think it would be possible. Also, the effectiveness off the solution would not be very productive. In my opinion, the change needs to happen in the education people receive regarding the issue of depression. If the stigma on the illness was lessened it would become less taboo and people would feel more comfortable and less alienated from the part of the population that did not suffer from. Now, I do not believe it would be completely eliminated because it is due to chemistry in the brain. However, it would be easier to address. This problem kind of runs parallel with rape. The information about it should change and the process of dealing with it as well. 

Overall, the ideas were good. It is interesting to see how dominant these issues are and that peers address them each in their own way. I really enjoyed hearing different ideas and different takes on possible solutions for problems that need to be solved.
