Topic: how to reduce the digital divide

Summary


The representative is Google's project loon. Project loon is a project by Google to supply Wi-Fi using balloons. Two-thirds of the world's population cannot use the Internet. So the project loon came out to allow people living in remote areas and remote areas to access the Internet. It also allows access to the Internet from a disconnect caused by a natural disaster. Balloons pass about 20 kilometers in the stratosphere. The reason why stratosphere is set as flight track is that there is no rapid climate, no atmospheric change in the troposphere, and the direction and speed of the wind are constant, so it is easy to predict where the balloon will fly. It is said that they tested it for 22 days. It circled the earth once and has a flying distance of 500,000 kilometers. It uses solar power as an energy source. 

Interesting


It is so wonderful to use balloons to make the Internet available. It is only possible for super-large companies like Google, and if it is commercialized, the Internet will be supplied to geographically difficult areas. 

Discussion
However, it is simply accessible to the Internet, and it cannot enhance the capabilities of specific Internet users. So how do we use these services properly when they are commercialized?

How can we reduce the suicide rates in Korea?

How can we reduce the suicide rates in Korea? -       Since Korea is the number one suicide rate among OECD countries, many efforts have been made to lower it. Currently, the government is establishing a public-private cooperation system to prevent suicide based on the community. In addition, emergency medical institutions are working together to prevent suicide attempters from leading to secondary suicide, thereby strengthening the response to suicide attempts and preventing secondary spread. In addition to this, the government has made numerous efforts, including specialized suicide prevention projects for each life cycle and creating a culture of respect for suicide prevention life. But the first thing to change is people's perception of psychiatry. Depression, a major cause of suicide, is a disease, so it is natural to go to the hospital for treatment. However, many people in Korea think that going to a psychiatrist is strange. It is thought that it is difficult to reduce

Week 11-4. Did you find yourself changing your presentation when you met with different people? Male/females? Attractive/ nor attractive? Others?

I personally find myself changing my presentation with different people. I am much comfortable with females because the conversation topic is more in common and girls are often more compassionate than boys. I find myself more comfortable, funny and soft in front of girls. Also, I become very talkative and outgoing when I'm with people that I think are attractive. I feel desire to appeal myself when I see someone that I like, because naturally you can be more awkward and less confident when you're interested in that person but I don't want to hide myself.  I am usually relaxed and calm in person but attractive friends make me active, which can give me inner energy so I try to hang out with favorite people a lot.
