My name is Kirsten Hong Tai and I am a third year student majoring in Political Science and minoring in Technology and Society.

The reason for taking this course, is that is is necessary to minor in this field. However, the reason I am minoring in technology and society is that I do believe it is beneficial to my degree.

I am interested at how technology affects political thoughts, political activities, and communication between humans. For example, I have noticed how voter turnout for certain elections appears to get lower or remains at a standstill. I do believe that the problem lies within political candidates who only appeal to adults who have knowledge of past policies and read news articles instead, of young adults who focus more on their devices.

I would like to focus on the effects of technology on our way of thinking. For example, how we become narcissist or dumber with the use of certain technology.
