I must admit, even I am a victim of social engineers stealing my info to gain access to my bank account 😰 after receiving a fake invoice from ‘Apple’ for a £45 ‘Netflix renewal’ I typed in all my details...including my bank details 🤭 closed that account asap #gullible#ls2lnm
When ordering takeaway food, many apps such as dominos and deliveroo have introduced a form of gamification where you ‘track’ your food/deliverer. This supports the idea of games being ‘pleasantly frustrating’ and results in people constantly anticipating the arrival. #ls2lnm
I agree that weak ties are so important within social networking. When getting a job it’s always handy to know someone who works there! #itsallaboutwhoyouknow#nepotism#ls2lnm
Adverts on Facebook are often examples of clickbait. I’ve been on this shoe website before so Facebook has tailored my preferences so this comes up, and when you actually click on the ad, this ‘sale’ involves a lot more than paying just £9 #ls2lnm
The internet can make us a bad reader with the use of clippings and abbreviations we are constantly using on social media. However it can be argued that we do this out of laziness, but when we actually write essays etc our language adapts to this context. #cba#ls2lnm
I usually tell if something is fake or real by seeing where the article came from. I tend to take tabloid newspaper articles with a pinch of salt, but can’t say I don’t enjoy reading them anyway #kyliejennersdefopregnant#ls2lnm
Even sites like YouTube use social filters and algorithms to tailor to the things you like. Can’t count the number of hours I’ve lost to YouTube ‘autoplay’ playing videos similar to ones I’ve watched previously #help#imintoodeep#ls2lnm
Posting the video of himself coming out caused a different interpretation to occur for the reason behind this phone call. It could have been done for larger political reasons to show that this is okay to do in society today. #ls2lnm
