The future is the place we will experience whatever is left of our lives, so we offer a substantial measure of the present to making preparations for it. Mental research has given bits of knowledge into such as future considering, which can take a few structures. Keeping up deferred goals to perform particular activities later on, foreseeing future occasions as an approach to get ready for believable consequences, and thinking the future to empower us to settle on better long time conclusions. The technology and imagination of the future is growing every single day. However, my example of an imagined future in pop culture would be Sylvester Stallone because his movie series are one of the most popular action stars in cinematic history, Oscar nominee Sylvester Stallone is best known for portraying boxer Rocky Balboa and Vietnam War veteran John Rambo.

Vaidhyanathan argues that “we trust google with our personal info and preferences and without access to knowledge because we  trust technology that satisfies our prejudices” I think, it is true because when it comes on an information or any basic idea to our mind we google that and find out the answer. Google is very popular searching engine that people believe. Google probably knows more about anything than anyone so people might believe whatever Google says. Therefore, Google is the only search engine that we use in these days. I trust google because Google is the only search engine finds out my answers. However, people do not trust Google as a looking up personal information because when people type their first and last name it comes out so many different things and they are not related to them. Overall I prefer to use still Google because it is faster and easier than any search engines.

In the article “Who’s in Charge here? Authority, Authoritativeness, and the Undergraduate Researcher”, Meszaros describes different factors involving authority between teachers, librarians, and  students.  One of the lady speaks of is what a popular of students think of their faculty members within their school. Administrative authority is defined as “one has by virtue of occupying a position. One’s moral behavior determines one’s occupancy. When students pay attention to their professors, it is largely because they are afraid for their grades and they want to get a nice grade. Students don’t listen to their professors because of their skill. At the end of the day the authority is the one who has reasoning abilities that help you as a student feel self-confident and help you succeed. It does not matter whether it is a professor or a librarian.

Classification is important for people because it is the basic way to organize information. It provides a method for sorting living things into groups based on common things. It is easier to find an item because the unorganized categories can be harmful to find it right away. However, if it classified by the alphabetic way or the common interest way, it would be more effective and easier. People look for similarities and differences to help them sort or classify things. As new technologies are developed that allow us to see more similarities or differences, the classifications could change. Dye explains that classification system like tag people in a same way and connect to people each other in online community. People can interact each other in their same interests. Therefore, classification can be useful. Classification has been always useful and an integral way to manage information for over hundreds years. If people use their own style like give tag each same item, it would be faster and easier than they think.

I think people do have the right to be forgotten because if someone doesn’t want to give or share information about their personalities then they have the right to request to taken off information. So 1^st amendment “free speech”, people have the “right to be forgotten’’ if the information is very personal and still exist on some websites, unfortunately your information still on those websites.

Digital identity is a collection of the each person information. Basically, if people use Facebook, Twitter, or some personal websites, these websites can save people basic information and may be tracked each time. There is no way to control these websites because when people sign up those websites, in their agreement letter it actually stands there and we accept it before reading through. Therefore, nobody can control it. In addition to that, people have to be very careful what they share or what they post because it may cause something in the future.

I am hundred percent sure the government controls everyone’s digital identity because in these days everybody share their ideas through their social media accounts and the government track each chosen words. If people post those words on their accounts they might get tracked by the government. Therefore, they basically monitor our lives.
