Privacy is a false reality on social media. You can never achieve complet privacy. Be away of your online actions #Lesson9

I believe it is important to not be a bystander when seeing stereotyped videos/media. Comment or start a discussion about what has been seen. #Lesson11

#Lesson12 has taught me that the media we consume at a young age have a strong influence on our values in adult life.

Although everyone other than the user is making money, do you think Youtube ads work? I feel like we are all waiting to skip them that it doesn't really matter what is on the screen the not helping the promotions of the companies product. #Lesson12

I like that YouTube provides their creators with a portal in which they can visualize and analyze their data. This allows them to explore if their content is resonating and/or if they need to make changes... A simple tool that greatly improves the platform #Lesson12

This course has allowed me to understand the negative and positive uses of media in classrooms as well as in society.

Mickey Mouse Monopoly is a clear demonstration of corporate power and the sense of untouchability that Disney and other similar networks have/had. #Lesson11

[Phill V @PhillV7]

#Lesson11 really helped me broaden my knowledge on the steps toward media literacy.

I wonder what the split is for active social media users that post and those who actively use the platforms, however, rarely post... #Lesson12

[Phill V @PhillV7]

"90.4% of Millennials, 77.5% of Generation X, and 48.2% of Baby Boomers are active social media users"... Will this change over the next 10 years? And how? #Lesson12

Now seeing ads on every social media platform (even 4 second ads on SnapChat), what is the next step in the monetization of their services? #Lesson12

[Phill V @PhillV7]

We've gotten so used to the YouTube ads. Remember when we were actually pissed when an ad came on? #Lesson12

[Phill V @PhillV7]

I don't know why but Disney's recent push toward non-stereotypical content seems fake. It is strange that they are monetizing equality and benefiting from this when they've been promoting the opposite for years. #Lesson11

[Phill V @PhillV7]

Is it just me but isn't the idea of someone being an "influencer" so weird? They are literally famous for being famous. Weird that we let these people influence our thoughts. #Lesson12

[Phill V @PhillV7]

Despite great improvements, we are still far from gender equality. Media plays a significant role in the evolution of this movement #Lesson10

[Phill V @PhillV7]

Although Disney and other media outlets should be providing non-stereotypical content, it is still up to the parent to teach their children proper culture and what is right and wrong. #Lesson11

[Phill V @PhillV7]

"Every minute there are 400 tweets containing a link to a Youtube video"... Crazy stat! Everything is connected. #Lesson12

[Phill V @PhillV7]

Although it is free now, will we ever have to pay monthly subscriptions to use YouTube? I realize there is a program in which you pay monthly to acquire more features and content, however, will the base model ever have a cost? #Lesson12

[Phill V @PhillV7]

The fact that Youtube and other learning tools are free and widely accessible is greatly improving individuals an motivating people to better themselves #Lesson12

"Females use social media less than men for business reasons, whereas women use social media to share more personal information, revealing more about their personal lives. Women are more vocal, expressive and willing to share"... Thoughts? #Lesson10
