DoVio Presentation

The presentation that I'm going to talk about is the DoVio presentation. I liked the DoVio presentation because it focused on domestic violence and I feel like that is a topic that is currently and has always been of some importance. Domestic violence has been going on since forever and you can't really cure that situation when there are people out there who just like the idea of hurting others physically, verbally, and mentally. I liked how the app was basically an outlet and a hotline for help at the same time. It had a journal in there to where you could write about how you feel and it could even go in anonymously. I also like how you could set up an emergency contact list, and in that list you could contact the police or even close family members in the push of a button. We need more apps like this because there are so many people, both young and old, who go through domestic violence on a daily basis. Most of the time people don't know who to turn to or who to call in order to get through these times of hurt and confusion. That's why I feel like this is a very good app that can help someone who really needs the help. I personally know someone who has been affected by domestic violence and they had no one to talk to because they knew that people would judge them for staying with a person that constantly abused them to the point where marks and bruises were visible. For that reason, she took it upon herself to end the situation the best way she knew how. She killed her significant other because she was tired of the disrespect and constant abuse. For that reason she know has to spend 25 years or more in prison. I said all of that to say, this app would've been a great outlet for people like her. She needed that support and guidance that she couldn't get from anyone else who actually knew her situation.
