@IsThatMike36 It’s unfortunate how the mainstreaming of disabilities negates the identity those who identify with it. Its why its best to be considerate when posting art on media around the topic.

[Ricky German @RickyGuy716]

considerate of others.
DNA manipulation should also be acted upon in consideration, with the mantle of an angel. Too much power through this kind of tech can be dangerous and manipulated in drastic ways.

@EmergingSocial1 #co575
The perspective that people may have of “What’s your excuse?” and inspiration porn can be one that’ meant to empower oneself. I like the idea of empowerment, as long as it does so in a way to not offend other parties, so ones choice of art should be…

@souljapinoy @EmergingSocial1 Definitely a big breakthrough in tech. It holds a lot of power that could be misused, as we tend to see with all the misinformation and exploitations going on.

@EmergingSocial1 I’ve learned about Deepfakes in a previous class, and thought it was interesting! The podcast concluded that the technology shouldn’t be around yet and I agree. A recent story about deepfakes included a cheerleaders mom framing rival cheerleaders in HS. #co575

@Rfinn_ @EmergingSocial1 I agree, it was interesting getting a different perspective on the filters we use when posting our pictures.

[Ricky German @RickyGuy716]

@EmergingSocial1 The history of photography was proven to be racist, with the production of photos made to resemble those of lighter skins. Filters on instagram also attempts to make darker areas brighter in an attempt to “enhance” objects. Though, this creates biases. #co575

@SGComm575 @EmergingSocial1 Good point! Being one the biggest tech companies, a job at Google is highly desired. But their true philosophy isn’t something most people can behind.

[Ricky German @RickyGuy716]

@EmergingSocial1 Like the philosophy behind Yin&Yang, Google is good because its the “standard” for web 2.0 that allows us to search, organize, and perceive information. But is bad because they support the practice of surveillance for their growth, breaching our privacy. #CO575

@justonotter @EmergingSocial1 I agree with your perspective! Many of my friends started to utilize online dating because of its convenience and have been very successful relationships so far. I’ve even seen friendships built off of online dating apps. Though its not for me, i’ve already seen the successes.

@EmergingSocial1 The internet has allowed for digital #connections to be built from all over the world. It allows folks to indirectly meet at a common ground, allows others to gain understandings of one another. This way of building #relationships is very common for people #CO575

[Ricky German @RickyGuy716]

@EmergingSocial1 In a way, #Instagram can be a home page for peoples lives. As the reading mentioned, users tend to design their page to achieve a specific goal for their post(s). There is a lot of attention that gets placed on simple social media pages. #CO575

[Ricky German @RickyGuy716]

@EmergingSocial1 I believe the routine use of social media by politicians for #communication should be routine w/benefits to getting messages across a wide platform. Readers just need to be well educated on what wrong & right info is. #memes make politics more relatable #CO575

[Ricky German @RickyGuy716]

@BigCornn510 @EmergingSocial1 Good point, its interesting how much a simple repost/retweet/share can make a huge impact if it gets to the right audiences. Reminds me of when Kpop fans took over the WhiteLivesMatter hashtag. (me not wanting to actually # that)

[Ricky German @RickyGuy716]

@EmergingSocial1 Privacy is a human right. Listening to the #watchmen is a good reminder on how that right is breached upon throughout the world. Different governments use their power with the belief that they are in the right, using #surveillance to disempower opposition. #CO575

[Ricky German @RickyGuy716]

@Yaraa128 @EmergingSocial1 Pointing out the constraining portion, its interesting how the technology we develop takes over the way we navigate society. It has encouraged us to utilize our phones for such knowledge and info. Silicon Valley parents are said to be raising their kids tech free.

[Ricky German @RickyGuy716]

@EmergingSocial1 In our readings, we learned about the social in social media. The meaning behind the word social depends on the theory we utilize to define it, with cognition, communication, or co-operation. The web that correlates to the theories created social media. #CO575
