Junior Ideas

I want to focus on how our current location is being monitored and how technology somewhat determines what you do. My main example would be how your avatar or “Bitmoji” on the Snapchat map changes according to what it is assuming you are doing in that location. For example, when you are in a dining hall, it says you are eating. When you are listening to music, the avatar has headphones on.

I personally find it interesting yet disturbing that this is even a feature. I remember looking at the map and seeing their Bitmojis sleeping. To what extent does this go before it goes too far? The social media platform does not have to be Snapchat, however, it does have one of the best visual representations of my idea of playing around with what my phone thinks I’m doing at a location as opposed to what I am actually doing in real life.
