Social Media and Breaking Tradeoffs

Part1:


a) The tradeoffs resolved to switch from horse-drawn carriages to horseless carriages, where those of convenience and time. You no longer had to take care of a horse, feed it, or protect it. Instead, you can now just park your buggy and go.

b) The onset of electric motors, that were cheap and plentiful made the horseless buggy a suitable replacement for the horse-drawn carriage. Meaning the cost of owning and maintaining a horse became much more, than refueling(charging) and maintaining an electric carriage.


c)The biggest trade-off that will be resolved, in my opinion, will be that of time and money. While you're not occupied driving, you can invest more of your time into your work, and activities of leisure. With this increase in productivity, we can expect and increase in wealth.


d) The ability for a computer algorithm to control the vehicle with multiple inputs enabled this tradeoff to be possible.


Part2:


b) With instantaneous dissemination, you get the immediate benefit of thousands of people to gain knowledge, using a relatively small, knowledgeable source. For example, the internet. Because of this, we are introduced to some tradeoffs. Mainly, because of the rapid spread of information, and the lack of reliable references, the ability to influence a large group of people is relatively easy, even with wrong information. Therefore a key tradeoff is integrity vs speed of translation. 


d)I would implement a unanimous panel of different machine learning web crawlers to test a newly published article, on its sources, and context. If a majority of the web crawlers give the article a majority rating, then the article could be published. 


c) I would create software the crawled a news article looking for keywords/sources, and the doing a web crawl to see if the information that was present on the article is referenced somewhere else, in the exact same context. (machine learning).
