If u wake up in the morning & think about ur problems, the moment u think about the memory of that problem, u’re thinking in the past. Each memory has an emotion associated with it, & the moment u feel that emotion, the body is now in the past. Learn more https://t.co/L9xwqi7n5x

@teresasammut Congratulations!

@smhumphreys #English407SocialMedia Overall, I have used this digital space to interpret our readings, summarize my learning, formulate opinions, and most importantly, make better sense of the world we are living in.

[Alex Shahbazfar @AlexShahbazfar]

After these readings, what I couldn’t stop thinking about is how transmedia has narrowed the gap between the material world and the “complex fictional worlds” so much that reality is starting to blur. You can put on a set of VR goggles and become Iron Man! #Engl407SocialMedia

@maddiejjames @Marvel I agree!!

[Alex Shahbazfar @AlexShahbazfar]

#Engl407SocialMedia To those who are looking over their shoulder after the readings: at the very least, we are more aware of what goes on behind the scenes in the digital world. Now that we’re aware of the ‘filters,’ we can find a way to see around them, not through them.

(2/2) It seems to me that we are at a point where our personalities are defined by the number of steps we take. Are these the right filters through which we monitor ourselves, or do we need an ideological revolution how we define who we are nowadays. #Engl407SocialMedia

(1/2) @jilltxt’s eye-opening book Seeing ourselves Through Technology has made me wonder to what extent is our sense of self “quantified.” Quantifying our aspects of life “gives us the sense that we can control [them].” #Engl407SocialMedia

In the eyes of the society, we are all a stranger until “we [happen] to be addressed by [a series of interconnected, uncountable publics]” that establish who we are in this society. #Engl407SocialMedia

@EhrgU When revising your paper, it can be helpful to read it as if someone else has written it. This way, you’ll be more objective towards your own work, which can enhance your editing quality.

[Alex Shahbazfar @AlexShahbazfar]

@EhrgU I think we can all use anything that gives us an escape from the COVID- and election-plagued reality.

[Alex Shahbazfar @AlexShahbazfar]

@EhrgU Well, originality is one of the most appealing factors to an audience. Who would think about running a slow-motion MARATHON? Likewise, when a company/organization does something different than the others, there is a natural tendency that gravitates our attention towards it.

@EhrgU Employees involved in the development of the Boeing 737 were ridiculed by a memo sent from their own colleagues: "This airplane is designed by clowns who in turn are supervised by monkeys." Looks like Boeing had some dark internal drama going on!

@EhrgU As a writer, it can be fun to implement your knowledge and creativity in complex writing. As a reader, the accessibility of plain language can always be of preference, especially when looking at lengthy texts. Quite a paradox this can be...
