Skype

 Skype is a piece of software that allows people around the world to talk to each other for free. Their overall mission is to allow everyone around the world to make clear and nice video calls. The Skype guide focuses on the idea of “giving users a voice”. They give the reader all the advantages of using the software. Adding the speech bubbles and the type of font used on the guide gave it a more relaxed & fun vibe to the guide as a whole. Even the logo itself gives off that this software isn’t necessarily a serious one. They just want to connect people worldwide and they make the mission clear by also giving out statistics on who downloads Skype and how many users use it.

Black Mirror & The Future

 China having a social credit system to track their citizens launching is wild to me. The thought of being tracked by the country through your phone is already too much. Top citizens getting VIP treatment could help people be better people or it could make things worse. Blocking individuals with  lower credit scores from equal opportunities isn’t fair to citizens overall because everyone deserves an equal opportunity. It even was said that it would block children from attending good schools. Being banned from a flight because of your score seems so insane to me.  The system requiring everyone to pay with their phones so their transactions can be tracked is something I couldn’t imagine happening here in the U.S. I like having a sense of some privacy even though I am aware that our phones are tracked to a degree as well.
