Digital technology has changed from being a luxury to a necessity for businesses, as employees need to work from home. This is impacting employees productivity as there are more distractions at home for many, such as family and kids. https://t.co/eQTBIAeSVF #DCIM353c

This class has opened my eyes to all of the disruption new technologies cause in the world! I never realized how much a new technology changes businesses, relationships, and aspects of people's everyday lives. Thanks everyone! #DCIM353c

@Lijuan_Stella I think social media has definitely helped us communicate and get feedback more than ever before.

@AudreyWaddell19 @sixwordstories This says a lot about technology addiction in today's world.

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

@Christianh_96 @sixwordstories I agree, we have especially become addicted to iPhones and social media.

Innovation disrupts, the process repeats forever. @sixwordstories #DCIM353c

@Lijuan_Stella Using a hashtag in a college class is very cool and unique, and I think it definitely shows how powerful Twitter is.

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

@RU_AlexaTep I agree with this Alexa. Social media is very powerful, and I like how we used it to communicate in this class. I think it's very unique.

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

@CatherineJ_RU I agree with this simple advice. The wrong hashtag means that your message will not get to your intended audience.

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

@RU_JoshuaV I agree with this as well. It is very interesting to go through hashtag conversations and see how the ideas have evolved.

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

@CritesAlexis I have never really used twitter until this class, so this activity definitely showed me how easy it is to interact with people on Twitter. Especially in a group!

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

@StephenSamra13 I completely agree with this. I enjoy interacting with people before and after class. Group projects are great too.

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

My piece of advice to other students on how to communicate effectively with hashtags is to post consistently every few days. Certain hashtags have a lot of people commenting on them at once, so comments move down in the chat quickly. #DCIM353c #TXC20

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

My primary "take-away" from the TXC activity is that using hashtags is a great way to communicate with people that have common goals and interests. Before this class and this activity, I never really used hashtags. #DCIM353c #TXC20

@RU_JoshuaV Hi Joshua, some of my friends are passionate about sneakers. Although I am not, I find the culture surrounding sneakers very interesting.

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

@StephenSamra13 Hi Steve, I also love sports. In many aspects it defines who I am. Without sports going on, I am very bored these days.

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

@ninaashah Hi Nina, I think that both marketing and public health are very interesting and especially relevant today. With the coronavirus pandemic happening, a spotlight is being put on the healthcare industry.

@LenskoldMeghan I wish that I cooked more. I think that there is something special about making your own food. However, in college dorms, there is no real opportunity to cook as there are not kitchens.

@fffjjj123321 There is so much data in today's world and it is ever-increasing. I think that being able to interpret data in the future will be an essential skill that is required by most jobs.

[John Fetherston @JohnFetherston2]

@AlanK02Rutgers I really enjoy gaming as well. I find it very interesting that professional gaming is becoming more mainstream. Gaming really does require skill, and is not a joke like many people believe it is.
