After 24 hours without any cellular devices, I felt at peace. The next day, while getting back on my phone initially gave me a rush of dopamine, I did not go on it as much. From now on, I will limit my phone usage and appreciate these little things in life. :) #eme4390m2021
Sunday night dates are a ritual my boyfriend and I have so he came over and helped me cook dinner. For moral support, he offered to stay off of his phone as well so that I was not tempted to check mine. As a result, we felt more connected and it enhanced our bond. #eme4390m2021
Who I am, what I do, and where I go should not be determined by a mere algorithm. This article has opened my eyes to the power apps have over us, which is why I want to incorporate this quote's mentality into my life and limit phone usage when it is not needed. #eme4390m2021
In 'Are Apps Becoming Human Crutch,' Howard Gardner expresses that we as humans should "Make certain sectors of your life off-limits to apps; they are fine to use for scheduling, perhaps, but not to manage your emotional or spiritual life." #eme4390m2021#DigitalIdentity

In ‘Your Apps Know Where You Were Last Night, and They’re Not Keeping it a Secret,’ Natasha Singer states that “companies sell, use or analyze the data to cater to advertisers, retail outlets and even hedge funds seeking insights into consumer behavior.” https://t.co/wQqHgIKOH3
I found this extremely true for myself as I always try to think of how to portray myself in the best light for both social media and in real life. I feel as though I AM my resume and it can feel as though I’m playing a role rather than being myself.#eme4390m2021#DigitalIdentity
In youtube video ‘The App Generation,’ Howard Gardner states that “nowadays, particularly with social media, young people think of themselves as a brand- Who am I? How do I present myself? What should I look like?” #eme4390m2021 https://t.co/XqeQXvRvwU
