@stephxwang Hello Step. I really hope your prediction becomes true. I talked about this in my takeaway post and society has become numb to the amount of data they are giving away. A safer, more private social media would only serve to benefit its users. #DCIM353McCormick

@Helten_0301 Hello Keer. This is a scary prediction. I've seen enough films to know what happens if AI becomes too sentient. Jokes aside, it would be a freighting future if AI got to the point of replacing entire work fields and decision-makers. #DCIM353McCormick

@GuanqingYu Hello Guanqing. This is a pretty solid prediction. We already see a lot of social media campaigns from brands today. Some are even hidden in plain sight through the guise of interactions and planned responses. Gen Z definitely responds to this type of marketing.#DCIM353McCormick

I have learned a great deal about disruptive technology and its implications for the future. My biggest takeaway has been its disruptiveness to our privacy and lack of obscurity. I have reevaluated my online presence as a result. #DCIM353McCormick

@LIDCJuliaV Hello Julia! You have chosen an excellent company to pursue. I don't even have to open their about us page to tell you all the great things they do but I will. They excel at diversity and inclusion which makes for a united work team. I hope you are able to work for them.#LIDC92F

@AngelesBritezz Hello Angeles! You have such a selfless dream job that is devoted to important issues. Looking at their "about us" page lets me know that they truly value their staff and want to do everything to support them in carrying out their objective. I hope you can apart of them #LIDC92F

@CAROLINEJAIME2 Hello Caroline, the organization you picked seems to be doing a lot of great things according to their "about us" page. As you said, they seem to put an emphasis on the truth. I hope you can make your dreams come true and become a great journalist with integrity. #LIDC92F

An Organization I would like to be a part of would have to be Morgan Stanley. There about us page emphasizes doing the right thing, giving back, and diversity. I also have two family members that work for the organization and praise its laid back work culture #LIDC92F

@GrayCE19448236 Hello Wenxin! You had strong examples of what allows Laguarta to have a strong digital presence, especially on Twitter. Embracing diversity and openly explaining your plan to do so really builds a connection to your audience. Being forthcoming and honest with your audience is key

[Stephen Rea @StephenReaRU]

@Danielasv346 Hello Daniela! I think what you said about not shying away from publicizing her opinions goes a long way to establishing closer connections to her audience. O'Hara being genuine and honest with her thoughts helps in establishing a strong digital presence.

@madisonrobes35 Hey Madison! You picked a great example and I like how you emphasized the importance of establishing a personalized connection to your audience. From a quick glance, Nakate seems to do a great job of establishing that deep connection you spoke about

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez exposes younger people to politics by humanizing it and making it digestible. "Because the tweets are done personally, it gives followers a closer connection and better understanding of the leader. "(Ingerson & Bruce, 2013)

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

You can’t force people to work a job that doesn’t pay enough to live.

This isn’t hard. What’s the point in working a $7.25 or even $15/hr job if the childcare needed costs almost as much as one’s paycheck?

Letting PUA expire was based on fantasy, not data. We must restore it.

[Stephen Rea @StephenReaRU]

@aayushi_83 Hello Aayushi! That is a great topic. It can be very eerie when social media sites advertise things you recently searched for or talked about. My guess on why they want to affect behavior is to encourage users to prolong their visit to sites and to return.

@GuanqingYu Hello Guanqing! You picked a pretty great topic that has come into the province in the last year and a half. It would be interesting to learn how every corporation just decided that Zoom would be the go-to teleconference app to use.

@RiaV123 Hello Ria! I am very interested in your topic. Even after searching for NFTs, I am still not sure what they are. Celebrities and influencers I follow have posted them on social media but I don't really know what purpose they serve. What is the legality of it?

The topic of my project will focus on delivery apps and their growth throughout the pandemic. I will go into its sudden growth and the dependence establishments needed to have to keep going during the last year. There was legislation passed very recently

@PALLAVI2022 Hey Pallavi. Great post and examples. Recent times have called for digital communication and technology to be relied on so I think that dependence will only continue to grow. The phone at the dinner table can be mediated with a little self-control. #DCIM353McCormick

[Stephen Rea @StephenReaRU]

@Chris_Janania Hey Chris. Speaking from personal experience, I agree with you completely. I have lost many nights of sleep because instead of shutting my eyes, I decided to go down rabbit holes of information and videos on my phone. The internet for sure makes contact easier. #DCIM353McCormick

[Stephen Rea @StephenReaRU]

@GuanqingYu Hey Guanqing. I agree with you that online campaigns have definitely disrupted the lifestyle of some young adults. I am curious as to which campaign has had the most impact. I would probably say social media initiatives and challenges. #DCIM353McCormick
