 Is the matter yes because if you if you is spent a lot of time in social media cheque your your cell phone or whatever thing that you do in the with technology that is the matter but why not some people say that they waste their lives in front of Facebook in front of instrumentals and ashamed bring a real life just obsessed this thankless and other peoples pictures and then they get depressed because they feel that other people have a better time than them more money than them better friends than them and they don't realise that everybody is just putting up the highlights of their life they have all the same problems but they just put the good moments about the social media course don't you think it's a bit of a waste I think so too bad Anne Anne and when you post or when you pass the time in social media and you don't have the control or you don't have or they you don't think and many things like like OK if I if I gonna if I gonna watch in a watch video in whatever platform like to talk or I don't know what a the time passed faster Anne and they don't know what what was the other ink what did you say no I just said that people are people are not living a real life Skype Sir just digital getjealous of other people because they came to have a better time or money better friends but they don't realise they're only there only uploading the most important the best parts of their life at all okay and they show their perfect lives and yes there isn't another point important point because everybody an post photos with fancy themes with a luxurious themes or with our paradise in or win a ***** or whatever to I don't know who say but it's meat Anne 22 let me let me find to show off everybody show off top yeah everybody showing off but it's not really be lush and if it's not real life it's kind of a waste of time right I mean if you spend same as TV like I mean maybe it helps you relax really early Saturday or something when he could be out meeting friends or walking or doing a lot better things that's five hours of your life you never get back so I don't know it's kind of a waste of time in my opinion yeah come on somebody else talk what do you think sound speak what do you think is it a waste of time or not can you hear me can anybody hear me yes I can‘t yes teacher okay Joanna can you speak in tell me do you think it's a waste of time or not yes we waste sign in social networks an we we don't feel very bad about this that is that's the problem in why do you think people don't feel badly about it is normal on is um necessity it is necessary necessary to feel better is the way to go out of the reality real life on you can feel to live in another way is how is like maybe it’s r Psychologically necessary for people to relax yes OK Nicole can you say something starting teacher can you say something can you make a contribution to the conversation it oh about this technology go to video we watched it well I think that in some cases the technology and can be run running in our life because a we can be more song applications are you addicted to any application can you repeat please are you addicted to any application and at the moment no but last day at last time I addictd bye **** duck eat how much time did you spend watching tick tock everyday Anne sometimes two hours or more I don't know I love never watched videos I think I

yes I follow and I think person I don't remember telling that is not good feature very good alright hold on teacher did you say something about the second part of the problem no but all these all these videos that were watching I just to give you ideas and and to be able to think of things to say about your part of the projects that's the idea of the videos I understand bad is an I don't know who say that thing what what is this a compare about well I've already explained this but I I'll explain it again the second part is you writing developing rather the idea that you have every everybody wrote or should have wrote an idea for the first part of the project that they agree that technology is making better people or making us worse people and white and you should have whichever side you're on if you're against you should have a reason why you're against that idea I'm in the second part you develop that idea can you write to her three paragraphs you need to write as much that you think you need so you can continue talking for a minute and a half or two minutes but you don't read what you wrote you have to put that aside and say what you wrote in your own words I mean I'll have it too so I'll know if you're reading so don't mean it just trying to say it in your own words the idea is to get some natural conversation about it and then somebody from the other group has to ask you a question but you don't know what your question is going to be so you have to be able to be ready to answelet's go back to the r another question your job also is when somebody from your team is speaking this is on the final day now you think of a question to ask them so basically on the second part of the project in right what you're going to say and on the third part you say it that's it OK thank you feature night

2008 panel of experts from the future of humanity institute published the results of a survey regarding the global catastrophic business that humanity will face in the 21st century the results of the questionnaire both surprising and concerning because the experts agree that there is a one in five chance of human extinction before the year 2100 at the 2008 Oxford conference participants considered nanotechnology artificial intelligence and war to be the three categories that were most likely to bring about such an event personally the one that keeps me awake at night is the unbridled development of artificial intelligence it's partially because of the weaponization of artificial intelligence what I like to refer to as the dark triad of offensive lethal autonomous machines the possibility of programming errors or users deliberately inflicting these on any population is the type of thing that makes me nervous the development of artificial intelligence is supposed to make lives a lot easier but in practise might represent the biggest existential threat of all when we see a civilization that effectively disappears without a record of precisely why they left the answer is often rooted in the development of advanced technology because advanced technology enables a larger population to live in a smaller area but if something happens to the resources themselves then you don't have the capacity to support the population anymore when I look at an episode like Rome making an incredible drainage system out of lead pipes and then everyone goes nuts is it all that different than a human society building sub technology to the point where we forget that we're really just part of an ecosystem that's much more powerful than us no matter what we built we have a tendency to assume that we can always innovate our way out of the crisis of the moment also no guarantee that technology will save a civilization when it's faced with an existential threat

At apple we believe privacy harvest ivacy privacy privacy privacy privacy privacy privacy privacy privacy privacy privacy privacy okay so you've all heard apple talk about privacy a lot and also about how ego friendly they are but is that all true or is there some sort of underlying corporate reason behind all of this due to benefits that apple is giving us with all the privacy tools outweigh the negatives and what are the negatives really is apple evil the short answer is of course not so we're not living in some sort of dystopian future here but evil corporations that just want to take your money but there are a few things that will make you pause and contemplate for a second so get us next ready and enjoy a bit of a different video OK so probably the biggest statement that apple has started making in the past few years is that they are trying to become the world's most eco friendly company which is great obviously this is a positive thing and they have done a few things to make this happen for example their offices and data centres run on 100% renewable energy their products are highly recyclable and they are also reducing waste by making the boxes of the iPhone smaller by not including a charger all of these statements are true and on the surface you might think that apple is indeed very environmentally focused but once you dig deeper you'll realise that each of these points has a major downside which almost just almost invalidates the entire point for example even though Apple's offices and stores do run on 100% renewable energy their manufacturing partners who make all the iPhones at all the Macs and so on do not so would every apple device that apple makes there is still an environmental impact they do claim that they want to be fully carbon neutral by 2030 which will include their suppliers as well so I am happy that they are acknowledging this issue and working towards it but as of right now keep in mind that their manufacturing it's not eco friendly but yeah that statement is true now let's take a look at a second one the fact that Apple's products are highly recyclable so if your iPhone breaks you will take it to the apple store and depending on the damage if your iPhone is no longer in warranty which by the way only last for a single year you will be charged up to $600 to fix a knife and living from Max for example the problem is that he can actually buy a newly refurbished iPhone living promax for $719 apple charges almost that price just to fix your broken one which is absolutely nuts and because of this most people just don't end up fixing their broken phones as it would cost them pretty much the same as buying a new phone so they just buy a new phone in that case which in itself creates waste but why don't they just go to a third party repair shop then well they can but apple has severely restricted what third party repair shops can do Louis rossman and I fix it are both probably the biggest advocates for the right to repair which simply states that if someone wants to repair it device they should be able to and they should have access to the right components to do that whereas right now you have to ask apple in order to become an authorised repair shop and even then there's actually not much that can do aside from just replacing the screen and the battery so apple is still limiting third party repair shops heavily which means that even though apple claims that they can easily repair your iPhone oftentimes customers are charged hundreds of dollars just to fix a broken charging port which independent repair shops can do for something like 30 to $50 but a lot of them are unable to do so as apple just doesn't make the components readily available so let's go back to that statement apple product highly recyclable is that true yes it is boards Apple's decision to make repairs almost an accessible to customers by charging them exorbitant prices and restricting third parties from repairing creates a tonne of waste which in my opinion is just invalidates Apple's entire points so now let's take a look at Apple's third points not the lack of chargers and iPhone boxes reduces waste again if you just take this as it is it makes sense that including a charger in the box of iPhones means that the box itself will be smaller which in turn means that more boxes will fit in a delivery truck which in turn means that apple will need less trucks to ship the same number of iPhones which in turn means less solution so problem solved right not really you see the real issue here is that by apple removing the charger people who don't already have a USB type C charger will need to buy one separately and considering that apple only started shipping USB C chargers with the iPhone 11 unless you're upgrading from the iPhone 11 to 12 you will actually need a charger and some of you might say now that oh I have an old iPhone pipe charger which is still lightning so I can actually use that which is true but that will be a very slow charger so if you want fast charger you will have to buy a separate USB type C1 but then if you buy a separate charger that charger will have its own box that box will likely go inside another larger box like you know Amazon boxes which will go inside its own delivery truck which will require extra shipping and therefore create extra pollution so do you see where I'm coming from by apple removing the charger they actually end up polluting the environment more what they should have done instead is give the users the option at checkout to claim a free charger that would be included in the box of the iPhone should they need one at the moment the only thing that apple has achieved by removing the charger is saving money in manufacturing and shipping costs and shifting the environmental problem from themselves to the consumer the big issue here is that apple doesn't think about others when making these statements they analyse everything as if no other company exists and with this mentality sure apple is saving the planet but in reality that is not entirely true now probably Apple's biggest campaign right now it's about privacy About how unlike other companies such as Facebook and Google apple does truly care about keeping your data safe so is this true yes apple does in fact keep pretty much all data used for processing your photos and even pressing your see requests that directly on your devices rather than on Apple's servers everything is encrypted and therefore it means that not even apple can read your personal data for example they recently introduced private relay which does prevent you from being tracked but it also severely caps your Internet speeds and it doesn't offer you a lot of the benefits of you know an actual VPN such as the ability to manually change your location and so much more Speaking of VPNs massive shout out to serve short VPN for sponsoring this video search shark is a tool
