@kenzipalmerbsu This was one of the other things that stood out to me also. I believe that you can form a genuine relationship online but to strengthen it you have to meet in person to really get to know each other because it's really easy to hide who you really are online. #450SocialSP23
@RehkemperLainey I thought about this as well. I used to only associate social media with negative thoughts because that was all I had heard people talk about when discussing social media, but now I can look at it from both sides. #450SocialSP23
@Skirp_Rawdogin This also stuck with me and I didn't realize how much I do it even though I don't use social media very often. I am defiantly a different person on every platform. #450SocialSP23
The idea that stood out to me the most is the lack of care for online addiction that some companies and platforms have and how they actually use it to get more money. It's something I never thought about before but now it pops into my head when I use my phone. #450SocialSP23
Wednesdays reading talks about fake/false news that has been around since the 16th century. That's a long time and I can't even remember the first time I had seen fake news. So what's the earliest fake news story you've seen or the first story you can remember? #450SocialSP23
@Caresse_BSU I keep all relationships private to the best of my ability because I don't feel like it's anybody else's business because it's the other person's and my relationship. If I post something it's not all about who's in the post or picture it's more about the location. #450SocialSP23
@KelbyAndrew4 I do find that I communicate with people across a larger number of platforms with the people I'm close with because every platform has a different use for me Snapchat is where the funny messages are but Instagram is for more serious conversations. #450SocialSP23
@DarneilleAustin Yes, because it's really easy to interpret things people say whatever way you want because you're not actually hearing a tone you're assigning one, so things may come across more positively than they would have in person. #450SocialSP23
In the documentary "The Social Dilemma" Ben is given the challenge to not use his phone for a week. I've only done that when I'm camping for a week because that is a time when I don't need it. Do you think you could go for a week without your phone? Why or why not? #450SocialSP23
@KelbyAndrew4 No, I don't think lurking is just an online thing and I think a more appropriate word for offline would be observing if all you want is to learn social norms or group dynamics, if not then that seems kind of like stalking. #450SocialSP23
@LPFbsu Social media wise I'm a lurker and I think I'm also kind of that way IRL I'm just naturally more of an observer and I don't think I'll really change I just think the world around me is interesting and you notice a lot of things others don't. #450SocialSP23
@DarneilleAustin I believe that a genuine connection can be made online but only strengthened in person regardless of the amount of time you've talked or think you know about a person. #450SocialSP23
Chapter 3 says "Face-to-face is much more personal; phone is personal as well, but not as intimate as face-to-face. The internet is least personal but it's always available." Do you think the internet will ever get to the level of intimacy face-to-face allows? Why? #450SocialSP23
@LPFbsu I use selfies to capture when I'm feeling good about myself and even when I don't because I want to have memories of good times and to see how far I've come because I want to not because I think I need to for others to see instead of using selfies to flaunt things. #450SocialSP23
@garlandwaltz I think social media has changed our psychological needs but not crippled them because times have changed and so have we and I think we've learned how to fulfill them better online over the past few years than we did before because we had to. #450SocialSP23
Chapter 2 mentions approximately 20 percent of adolescents are affected by online aggression, and that made me think about the kids I know and how sometimes they are the aggressors in the real world. (Continued in replies )#450SocialSP23
@LPFbsu I think it has affected us and I've seen it with my own nieces and nephews it's like night and day when comparing the social cues I grew up with and the ones they're growing up with. #450SocialSP23
@garlandwaltz What's real to you might not be to others but that doesn't make it less real. I've always been a firm believer that you build your own character in all its complexity and others may influence your perception but they don't create it, you do. #450SocialSP23
@KelbyAndrew4 I've always wondered how much further can and will we go. People's reactions interest me also since every Web version has been met with a mixed reaction I wonder what the majority reaction will be for a Wed 3.0. #450SocialSP23
