Like with Sesame Street, I didn't realize how much politics play into Google around the world

[Emily Weinstein @EmilyWeinstein5]

Am I the only person who doesn't look past the first or second page of a google search? What does this mean for the information I'm getting?

The potential for online communities to take the place of real life communities definitely has it's advantages and disadvantages

Does the actual experience of watching TV still create a "restructuring of social relations within the family"? Do families even watch TV?

The goal of the motion pictures industry was to create a homogeneous audience- like the TV and the rise of the middle class

These readings really made me consider how technology like the television had a great impact on the role of women and gender relations

[Emily Weinstein @EmilyWeinstein5]

Interesting how technology like the radio used be a social activity and now people fear that technology is making us grow apart

How are FaceTime and Skype considered face-to-face interactions? Is Skyping someone exactly the same as talking to them in person? #comm203

To what extent is the media truly a fourth estate of government, and to what extent is it controlled by the government?

[Emily Weinstein @EmilyWeinstein5]

I think humans are naturally objective, which makes neutrality in journalism very difficult to achieve #comm203

"Top 10 Scary Modern Technologies" on http://t.co/iWGXDy3562 provides clear examples of the "rhetoric of the technological sublime"

[Emily Weinstein @EmilyWeinstein5]

I think it's crazy that children are learning to write on iPads and tablets instead of with paper and pencils

[Emily Weinstein @EmilyWeinstein5]

Does technology like Skype and FaceTime make long distance communication less "weak and attenuated"? #comm203
