After my mosque was brutally hurt I heard a story that was like my mosques. But only my mosque story went viral and it could have been because it happened after the Muslim ban was announced or maybe because there was actual footage of the fire. #personification

I will turn my location off from apps that I frequently use so that I may get more privacy. #RHEADD

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

I will aim to respect everyone’s autonomy in order to promote a better internet community #RHEADD

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

I will delete apps that I have not used in a while. #RHEADD

Why do more people not know that Whole Foods and Starbucks engage in “anti-union” activities? Do they do a good job of putting up a front?

@rheaddavinash I think a lot of people live in a bubble and assume the problem will not affect the generations alive today, so they ignore it and hope that the people that will have to deal it with will come up with a solution. #RHEADD

Zizek mentions that “Fukuyama himself was compelled to admit that biogenetics into human nature is the most serious threat to the end of history.” What examples could you think of that he is referring to? #RHEADD

@RheaddR Being the age of 22 also impacts my ability to use and understand technology. Being born a digital native, it’s easy for me to learn and understand technology. I don’t have the same difficulties and hurdles that the older generations (digital immigrants). #alliteration

@RheaddR You should use the readings from today to expand on this idea of needing technology and may be discuss successful ways of using it.

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

I like that the Day reading discussed various strategies for using social media. #RHEADD

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

The Fong reading helped me understand the Malmgren reading better. It was interesting reading about all of the negative effects of social media, especially the comparison that was made to addicts. #RHEADD

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

The Malgren article was a little more difficult to follow for me because I don’t really understand the public/private buisness idea / worker coop concept... #RHEADD

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

From the Koelberg reading it was mentioned that apps that are free are worse than apps that cost money in terms of privacy. I like the point that he brought up about people spending hundreds of dollars on smartphones not wanting to buy an app that respects their privacy. #RHEADD

@daisyw98 This tweet is so relatable! Think about going further and discussing how you can help them become more accustomed to this digital age.

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

@UTMeredithH I like this tweet! Maybe in your paper give more of a specific example as to why you think the internet is different for everyone

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

@CeCeDebnam I like this as it is the basis of the class! Since were supposed to share our voice in this paper maybe try and share an experience that relates back to this! Maybe you knew someone going through this struggle...

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

@Sometimesvanes1 I agree! I think you should expand on this idea and maybe discuss the benefits of her learning how to navigate social media effectively vs. not adapting.

Were the graphics in the Healy article helpful when it came to understanding the content?

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

It’s crazy that people were able to make “technology required to automatically collect the required information that is beyond our capacity”.

[Menhal Sheikh @SheikhMenhal]

The Healy article made me realize that privacy is a thing of the past. #RHEADD
