Afterward, I felt like having electronics isn't inherently bad--we've just created a dependency on them. I hope this was the first step in breaking up that dependency for me! #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

Turning off for a day was rough--I found myself constantly reaching for my phone throughout the day even though it wasn't with me. I was so embarrassed every time I did it! #USFDigitalIdentity #eme4390m2021

[Sabrina Arancibia @SDArancibia]

I don't think I'd want to go on another 24 hour shut down again, but I definitely feel like I will be less reliant on my electronics when I am out in about in the future. This just showed me how good actually being present feels #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

Even though we don't talk to everyone we create a connection with on social media, we crave that interaction, especially after facing social control by schools and the workplace all throughout our lives #USFDigitalIdentity #eme4390m2021

When you think you're in the safest place on Earth--remember your devices are collecting information round the clock!

[Sabrina Arancibia @SDArancibia]

@M11Caitlin I was also surprised to see them get on camera and talk about the issues. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but wouldn't there be some type of consequences from the industry? #eme4390m2021

[Sabrina Arancibia @SDArancibia]

@HaleyNairn I feel the same way! Have you ever taken a look at the information that platforms have gathered on you before? Your age, interests, hobbies, etc. It's crazy how accurate it is and how they can pull that info just from our activity

[Sabrina Arancibia @SDArancibia]

"If you're not paying for the product, you are the product"--eye-opening. The amount of users isn't what's paying Facebook and Twitter's bills, it's the promotions and ads. Selling our information is what's keeping them in business. #eme4390m2021 #usfdigitalidentity

[Sabrina Arancibia @SDArancibia]

Now watching: The Social Dilemma.. I'm very surprised at how many of the guest interviewers are up front on camera introducing their concerns about the industry. This shows me that even people who worked on these platforms first hand saw issues with it #USFDigitalIdentity

[Sabrina Arancibia @SDArancibia]

Seeing all the issues that tech insiders have with their own creations makes me slightly uncomfortable when I think of social media now. In a way, I feel complacent, because although I acknowledge there is a darkside to this tech, I am and will be an avid user #eme4390m2021

[Sabrina Arancibia @SDArancibia]

The line "it's not just fake news, it's fake news with consequences" really resonated with me. In this day and age, misinformation is exceptionally dangerous, especially when spread like wildfire #USFDigitalIdentity #eme4390m2021

[Sabrina Arancibia @SDArancibia]

I feel like the collection of personal data is so superficial, compared to the seeming invasion of privacy that users face. All of this just to cater to advertisers and sell more products, doesn't seem fair. #USFDigitalIdentity #eme4390m2021

[Sabrina Arancibia @SDArancibia]

Reading: Are apps becoming a human crutch? Davis and Gardner introduce a concept I've never heard of before--app-dependence. It's shocking how much we rely on our phones to make decisions for us every day, we don't even realize it! #eme4390m2021 #USFDigitalIdentity

[Sabrina Arancibia @SDArancibia]

Reading: Your Apps Know Where You Are.. quite disturbing. Like Ms. Magrin, I knew that apps track and sell your data, but I never realized how specific that information can be--and it doesn't matter if it remains anonymous in the end #USFDigitalIdentity #eme4390m2021
