16/2/2018 - Introducing Json
Hi,
"So Facebook considers your thoughtful discretion about what to post as bad, because it withholds value from Facebook and from other users. Facebook monitors those unposted thoughts to better understand them, in order to build a system that minimizes this deliberate behavior. This feels dangerously close to “ALL THAT HAPPENS MUST BE KNOWN,” a motto of the eponymous dystopian Internet company in Dave Eggers’ recent novel The Circle"
( On Second Thought: Facebook wants to know why you didn’t publish that status update you started writing )
I saw the movie 'The Circle' and really noticed that the dystopic reality that is represented in the movie is becoming more and more similar to ours.
Starting from Facebook, and its ridiculous data protection policy. I think that the storing of deliberately un-shared statuses and comments from all users denotes a big lack of care in the regards of Facebook users from the company and moreover, they do not even make it clear.
Society is really starting to resemble more and more the reality on '1984' by Geroge Orwell, and it is scary.
Luckily we can use data for good purposes also: in this and the previous lectures, we saw how to use Json files, in order to link live data to our code.
Here the video from Daniel Shiffman:

I started working on a code taking data from a Cryptocurrencies API, I'll share the code in the next post!
This is the code I was working on from last class. From the shared video the link was not working so I had to go search for a new code on Git Hub.
I was working on it and tried to edit it a bit but it was very hard!
Ciao,
Eleonora
