In class we were given the task of having to debate, using the readings given last week to revise to discuss today in the debate. The class was split into two groups arguing for and against, with some members of the class as jury to conclude who had the best argument.
The apposing group argued for rising points like that some people struggle to remember such things like important information and memories from their busy and heck schedules.
The team I was on argued against raising points, that if we become so reliant on such things we will eventually lack the ability to remember anything for ourselves. Also that it is an invasion of privacy exposing our deepest and sometimes darkest thoughts on to this personal database, which has the possibility to be hacked.
“ If privacy is your overriding concern, MyLifeBits may not be for you.” (Cherry, S., 2005).
Overall we discuss two sides of the argument, we also said a final statement for the jury to deliberate; then to decide which team had put up the best reasons as why to vote for or against (MyLifeBits).
