@cabeihy saudades do orkut quando o what’s cai

[Lucas Rodrigues da Cunha de Britto @Lucas_rcbritto]

After being 24 hours without cellphone internet, I decided that I will restrain my cellphone usage throughout the day. As we can easily spend many hours on our cellphone every day. #eme4390m2021

I will definitely recommend to my friends this turn-off challenge, I am sure that most people would benefit from this experience. It really opens our minds to bad habits with cellphone and the internet. #eme4390m2021

The experience of being disconnected from the internet for a day was kind of challenging, as I do have a habit of looking at my phone every couple of minutes. But it also opened my mind to a bad habit that I have to change. #eme4390m2021

[Lucas Rodrigues da Cunha de Britto @Lucas_rcbritto]

We can spend so much time on cellphones and the internet that we do not even realize. I am thinking about disconnecting from my phone more often. #eme4390m2021

After being 24 hours disconnected from the internet, I was able to be more productive and concentrate better on important things. #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

After watching the video from Howard Gardner, I understood that Generation Z can be considered app-oriented, in a way that they use apps in order to solve many issues in life. This is making them be risk-averse with issues that apps cannot help. #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

[Lucas Rodrigues da Cunha de Britto @Lucas_rcbritto]

After reading the Article "Your Apps Know Where You Were Last Night, and They’re Not Keeping It Secret" from The New York Times, we can see that most apps require people to share their location. So they are constantly tracking our movement. #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

[Lucas Rodrigues da Cunha de Britto @Lucas_rcbritto]

After reading "Guest: Are apps becoming a human crutch?" by Howard Gardner and Katie Davis I was able to see that people are definitely getting dependent on apps in order to do some activities, like driving for example. #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

[Lucas Rodrigues da Cunha de Britto @Lucas_rcbritto]

I totally agree with this article. Even if the character of the game does not represent ourselves in the real world, it is still very interesting to play that character's life in order to understand his own reality #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

After reading the articles in M14, I understood that video game characters can have a huge impact on our lives. Where most of them can inspire people with their personality, by their role in the game's story. #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

[Lucas Rodrigues da Cunha de Britto @Lucas_rcbritto]

After watching this TED Talk about the power of video games, I saw that video games are definitely getting more influential. It is a huge industry that keeps growing #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

@Aisha__Shariff That is the best description of what is going on with social media and the people using it. I hope that we can change this reality into something less anxiety-inducing #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

[Lucas Rodrigues da Cunha de Britto @Lucas_rcbritto]

@MLineberry3 And these tech companies are making profits out of this addiction, without telling people that it is happening. Thankfully it is not going unnoticed anymore. #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

[Lucas Rodrigues da Cunha de Britto @Lucas_rcbritto]

Everyone should watch "the social dilemma", which shows the harm that social media are doing to people. Cases of anxiety and depression have increased a lot because of social media. In the political spectre, it is increasing polarization and blind partisanship. #eme4390m2021

[Lucas Rodrigues da Cunha de Britto @Lucas_rcbritto]

While watching "the social dilemma" on Netflix, I realized that the laws on social media and people's privacy are far from being what they should be. Data mining is reaching an extreme level, we need actualized laws in order to protect people's data. #eme4390m2021

[Lucas Rodrigues da Cunha de Britto @Lucas_rcbritto]

"the social dilemma" is a really interesting documentary, and I recommend that people watch it. It really opened my mind to the harm that social media can do to us. I will definitely be more cautious with the time that I spend on social media. #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity
