The Challenges Of The Digital Age

As we go into the new year of 2019, are people going to make a new year resolution of spending less time on the internet or are we going to behave like always how we have been as a modern world society in 2018? The question is what is the longest you've been offline? According to Forbes, data analytics will not be slowing down in 2019, it will be advancing more but the issue is that the majority of data is not being used correctly because people aren't trained on the specific subject of data. We will need more people organized to prevent user data wrong. There are specific digital trends that will continue and expand in 2019 but mostly data analytics with artificial intelligence.

A contributor to Forbes says, "Data is key to companies being able to make good decisions about products, services, employees, strategy, and more. We won't see a slowdown anytime soon. As recent data has shown we have created 90% of the world's data in the past year, research is also showing that we are using 1% of the data effectively" (Newman). This is one of the biggest issues in digital transformation about how this world is not using data effectively and this can cause a false positive in many situations which is when you think something or a situation is accurate but it is actually not.

This can cause companies and businesses a lot more complexities and challenges that they have already. If we are relying on digital transformation and big data analytics/ data tracking, then we may have to check what we are doing wrong in order to move forward with this. This modern world society does not want any more false and inaccurate information.

Big data analytics examines large amounts of data to uncover hidden patterns, correlations, and other insights. I have learned that in today's world/ technology industry it is easier and possible to analyze your data and get answers from almost every social media platform and receiving the data quickly. It is good to be aware of what information you put on your social media platform accounts.

You must be wondering why is big data analytics so important? Big data analytics helps organizations and companies control their data and use it to identify new opportunities. Companies and businesses use data analytics in three ways which are cost reduction, faster better decision making, and new products and services. I think in today's world it is very important to know about big data analytics and how it works as well. It is really nice to know when you're applying for a job after college and people see you know information about it, they will be impressed in a positive way.

Three massive big data problems that everyone should know is data privacy, data security, and data discrimination. The three massive big data problems are very important because the information being collected in today's modern world society and the rapid change of technology makes solving these issues more challenging and difficult for everyone.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
