We communicate with one another more than ever before in other states, and countries at the touch of a few buttons with the use of either our phones or the web. Some of the inventions\u00a0presented in the past through film and science fiction have become our reality.<\/p>\n

The way people communicate with one another has changed as a result of this advancement in social media and\u00a0technology, and while they have had positive effects on our society, I couldn’t help but look at all the negative effects they’ve had as well.<\/p>\n

Thus, when it came to brainstorming ideas for this project I found myself going back to this idea of bringing attention to the negative aspects of social media. For instance, I’ve begun to notice how smart phones have completely taken over the way we communicate and because of this I believe they’ve destroyed the traditional ways of communication in replacing, ‘face to face’ with ‘screen to screen’, and have caused people to become reluctant to actually using their phone as a phone.<\/i>\"VintagePhone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Among the various theories depicting social media as a negative force in our society I’d like to focus on how long individuals spend on social media and because of the increased amount of time people spend on social media, relationships have changed drastically (as I’ve mentioned before).<\/p>\n

So the bot\u00a0I intend to create for this exercise would be to remind people of how much time they spend on different social media platforms like Facebook, Tumblr, or even Instagram.<\/p>\n

\"paperclip\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I thought more about this idea, I wanted my bot to not be pleasant in its reminder to the user of how long they’ve been online. That’s when I remembered the friendly Microsoft Word ‘Paperclip’. This Paperclip would always appear at the lower right hand side of the screen and spit useless information and reminders on how to do certain tasks within the software.<\/p>\n

I’d like for my bot to be so annoying in its reminders that it causes the user to quit using the social media platform they’re using and stick with the amount of time away from it. That being said, I want this bot to have a programmed set of time that is normal for someone to be on (let’s just say Facebook) and after the user goes past that time I’d want the bot to pop up like a notification and remind the user that they need to log off. If they go past about ten minutes I’d want to see if its possible if I could program my bot to close the application (or just the tab window).<\/p>\n

On the concept of time management and thinking about the name\/mascot of my bot, the first thing that came to mind was the ‘white rabbit’ from Alice in Wonderland. This character is always time conscious so I think the character would fit perfectly with the idea I’m trying to portray with my bot.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Therefore, the name of the bot will be titled ‘White Rabbit’.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
