@abbate_nicolo Hi Nicolo,
You bring up a good point about how the term ok boomer is used in a dismissive way. It usually is generalizing older generations and giving off the sense that the younger generations are better which builds a big sense of community

[Michael Tenenbaum @MichaelTenenba8]

@amato_sienna I mentioned #okboomer too and thought you brought up a really good point about how the phrase is used in a negative connotation. That aspect helps to show the strong sense of community between members of the younger generations

[Michael Tenenbaum @MichaelTenenba8]

The most common example of the generational gap is #okboomer which is used by newer generations to describe the older ones. This shows the younger generations feel a strong sense of community when comparing to other generations #DCIM352

#DCIM352 #TheSocialDilemma After watching The Social Dilemma it really makes you think about how our interactions are shaped by technology. It has become such a common part of daily life that it is almost impossible to avoid.

@nicolettegoldh2 Hi Nicolette,
Using Call of Duty as an example of immaterial labor and gaming is perfect. Call of Duty is one of those games that is known for having a community of gamers that all interact with one another.

@mtinana_ru Hi Michaela,
Club Penguin is a great example to use to represent the intersection between the two. This was a game that many of us used and had a big community aspect.

[Michael Tenenbaum @MichaelTenenba8]

An example of immaterial labor in gaming is the game Fifa. It is a game where you can play soccer representing actual soccer players on the game. You can also connect with other people playing the same game and play together and play as these characters. #DCIM352

@danatong1 Hi Dana,
I had also recently heard about an increase in hate crimes against the Asian American community and I think this is a movement that needs more eyes on the issue.

A great example of a counter-public in recent years is the LGBT community. A counter-public is based around a group that forms and is marginalized and the LGBT has banded together to make a counter-public #DCIM352

@HannahDellaFave This example of a brand public shows how they can be used to focus attention on a specific idea, with many people expressing their experiences #DCIM352

[Michael Tenenbaum @MichaelTenenba8]

@hck23_ This hashtag definitely brings people together in a positive way, as brand publics have the potential to do by creating a digital space around a topic #DCIM352

[Michael Tenenbaum @MichaelTenenba8]

@CarterK74278629 This is a good example of a brand public because it unites people around a certain topic, where they can discuss it #DCIM352

[Michael Tenenbaum @MichaelTenenba8]

The hashtag #UFCVegas20 is an example of a brand public because it brings people together not through interaction but through a "continuous focus of interest" according to Arviddson. #DCIM352

@mtinana_ru Hi Michaela, this is definitely an aspect of how technology has improved online dating but even with the extra conversation, there is no replacement for face-to-face talking in my opinion.

[Michael Tenenbaum @MichaelTenenba8]

@nyh8scarletmai1 I like how the hashtag #datingfromhome is less focused on the covid aspect and more on the online aspect. I also agree with the home bias aspect you brought up.

[Michael Tenenbaum @MichaelTenenba8]

Covid-19 has caused numerous changes in dating during the pandemic, many of which have complicated things. In hashtags like #onlinedating there are many examples of how online couples feel super connected with their partner due to the online nature of online dating

@RyanSha96017245 As someone who doesn't know who this is, I think her post is a great example of how backstaging can make a celebrity feel like a normal person. Her post gives off a sense of closeness with her followers which is part of what backstaging is about.

[Michael Tenenbaum @MichaelTenenba8]

@joseorelllana Chris Hemsworth is a really great example as he is normally seen on the screen playing a role. By posting stuff like this between movies it gives people a sense of closeness with him and what he's working on.

@KenyiVRU Hi Kenyi,
KSI is an interesting choice specifically because he is a YouTuber that also went into the mainstream news. This is because unlike other mainstream celebrities, he is used to showing his life on his channel which makes for good examples of front and back staging.

[Michael Tenenbaum @MichaelTenenba8]

This tweet by David Dobrik is an example of Marwick & Boyd's idea of backstaging, in which celebrities share personal information to create a sense of intimacy with followers: perhttps://twitter.com/DavidDobrik/status/1346683790777675777?s=20
