@ivyxcao19 It was scary to read this but also conflicting for me. It’s hard not to choose a convenient option, but it’s also hard to lose critical thinking skills and imaginative ability.

@GeorgeEstaf Yes, it’s scary to think about this! The companies have NO motivation to and without repercussions like federal regulations, who knows what it would take to stop them.

@nytimes raised my awareness to how ALARMINGLY observed my phone’s location is. Read about it here:

App-enablement vs App-dependence

Great topic discussed in Howard Gardner’s video. It makes me wonder how often I look to my phone for answers instead of all the resources around me, including my imagination #eme4390S22

scheduling, perhaps, but not to manage your emotional or spiritual life.”

When we cross into that second area, our phones begin to use us instead of the other way around. #eme4390S22

@katiega57 It really is interesting, and insane to think about! It makes me want to see my 'file.' Like, what's the info on me? What are the algorithms thinking and deciding to send me?

@Teaganabailey That quote SCARED me. Thinking that I'm being used to manipulate or I'm being manipulated is unnerving to say the least

Comparing the refreshing of your feed to slot machines in Vegas 🤢 it’s safe to say that phone addiction is REAL #eme4390S22 #turningoff

The term “evil necessity” has never felt more appropriate as I Tweet this on my phone with my laptop open in front of my TV watching a documentary about the dangers of social media 🤡#eme4390S22 #turningoff

Business model—keep people engaged on the screen as long as possible. WHAT?! How about making positive change? Connecting to people to actual useful things? It’s hard not to imagine the CEO’s twirling a mustache nefarioisly #eme4390S22 #turningoff

[Hali Baird @HaliBaird]

A reset moment like the presentation that guy made about “ethical design” for Gmail happens quite often. Like what am I going to do after this documentary is over? Probably nothing. How do we take the momentum and RUN with it? #eme4390S22 #turningoff

Snapchat Dysmorphia? Omg I want to cry 😭 especially thinking about how often filters aren’t diverse or inclusive of most features #eme4390S22 #turningoff
