#DCIM353McCormick The presentations that the class produced were well-made, eloquent, and concise. Everyone did a fantastic job! Generally, this class was very thought provoking and I feel I got a lot out of it. I really enjoyed taking this course and exploring these subjects.

@_sam_2141 Dolly is a great example of a role model for other celebrities! This is because she puts her financial resources where they matter and can make a fundamental difference: choosing to give back to society at large rather than selfish pursuits of vanity and travel in these times.

@KeiraCollazo Agreed! Dwayne Johnson is an exemplary celebrity that uses his platform to share important forward-thinking messages. He's widely perceived as a leader because of this, whereas many other celebrities do not concern themselves with progressive causes #LIDCF20_01

Tony Bennett is not only a living legend, but he is also a role model for others with big platforms. As such, he & his wife began a successful nonprofit, “Exploring the Arts” that is dedicated to funding arts education in high-need communities. https://t.co/TVWOLlchcC #LIDCF20_01

@zackauz This is crucial! Society has learned how to depend upon virtual connection in this time and it has reaped very beneficial results for businesses. Now knowing how much more efficient and convenient this work format has proven, it is very likely to endure moving beyond quarantine.

@mkolodney1 I agree with these implications about wearable tech like the Apple watch! These devices provide an ample basis of data for a medical professional to draw from- making pattern detection for potential issues easier and occur earlier on, sooner being intervened with and treated.

@cathyDCIM I've never thought about the potential that VR can offer to the world of phobia patients through a personalized means of exposure therapy! This use could provide profound aid to these subjects, with a tailored experience that lessens the shock to the system of flooding methods.

A key takeaway is that social medias aren't going anywhere, and it's thus essential to be an informed moving-part within it all, that recognizes how they're being advertised and sold to. We can claim agency back by being conscious consumers of goods and media. #DCIM353McCormick

In coming years, I believe that the user profiles that AI build based off of individuals’ digital activity: will be so comprehensive and extravagant that AI will direct political and social ideologies/ behaviors to an unprecedented extreme. #DCIM353McCormick

[Jessica Kehoe @JessicaLKehoe]

@LianaMasangkay Great points! I like how you addressed the digital realm in recanting digital dualism. The digital world does not cease to exist when we put our devices down.

@LindemannKyle To delve a bit deeper, the concept of techno-social life can also support the "Hyperpersonal Model of Computer-Mediated Communication" allowing one to make impressions and conversational rapport more desirable than their offline encounters.

[Jessica Kehoe @JessicaLKehoe]

@KeiraCollazo Thank you! This was a very helpful reference to the terms and I was able to incorporate it into my paper. The distinction between the two is integral to understand.

A disruptive innovation is a product that generally underperforms compared to competitors, but offers new features while being convenient and cheaper. Sustaining innovations improve performance of established products, maintaining market if not making it better #DCIM353McCormick

@pb15937 Similarly, I've selected Artificial Intelligence for my project topic! It'll be very interesting to explore the repercussions that automation has on our society as a consumer culture, as well as how it depletes the economy by taking jobs away from working-class individuals.

[Jessica Kehoe @JessicaLKehoe]

@gentblaku This is a very expansive topic, it should be fun to explore! You should stress the influence that social media platforms has on political campaigns, and overall how we perceive the society in which we are participating- as media users ourselves.

[Jessica Kehoe @JessicaLKehoe]

@mkolodney1 This is such an interesting subset of tech to choose for a topic! You can really touch on how the constant access we have to appliances such as the apple watch and airpods, is a diversion of attention and has made interacting with new people and our loved ones a strain of focus.

[Jessica Kehoe @JessicaLKehoe]

I will be exploring Artificial Intelligence for my EDTP topic. As AI is already pervasive in our daily lives, it is one of the quickest growing disruptive technologies. Although these programs optimize convenience, they also pose a real threat to the economy.

@LianaMasangkay Your response to the article was insightful! There are absolutely new social customs in place in adapting to coexisting with one another And technology. Phones tend to isolate individuals in a group setting, as a speaker feels they are not being heard; this is inappropriate use.

[Jessica Kehoe @JessicaLKehoe]

@AshleyPrior12 @b_neirotti Agreed! It's particularly challenging for a generation that has little learned experience with the Internet, to know exactly what to look for in shielding harmful content from their kids. Thus, there is a marked desensitization to violence and profanity in children of this gen.

[Jessica Kehoe @JessicaLKehoe]

@saifeldin144 This was a fascinating finding! It definitely seems as though the pervasiveness of social media today creates a tangible distance between romantic partners. The widespread accessibility to meeting other like-minded individuals causes insecurity and can be a perceived as a threat.
