I realized that growing up with digital tech shapes us in everyway possible but people often will not notice or take it seriously because life "online" is seen completely separate from life offline. #DigiTechS22B

- There are real life consequences to what happens online
- It is important to reflect on how we are affected by technology #DigiTechS22B

#savetheturtles was popular awhile ago due to plastic waste. It incited this trend of regular people feeling moral responsibility or panic over climate change & pollution. This kind of dilemma puts the blame on regular people instead of corporations #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

Many minorities were saying to not use them as a shield when speaking on these issues. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

[Upama Roy @UPAMAROY10]

#notyourshield is a hashtag related #gamergate where people banded together in order to share their thoughts on the matter of others speaking for minorities in the gamergate situation.

In the future, there might more emphasis on life virtually with the rise of NFTs and cryptocurrency and VR headsets. #DigiTechS22B

@DelfinoCameron I haven't heard of this hashtag yet so thank you for bringing it to my attention. not taking the time to research their culture and misusing their clothes, traditions, etc. is a major problem our society deals with

[Upama Roy @UPAMAROY10]

it still happens to this day, so we continue to celebrate this month as a way to increase visibility of women and their struggles and accomplishments.

[Upama Roy @UPAMAROY10]

The #WomensHistoryMonth showcases achievements and hardships of women and celebrates them. This hashtag is for women because throughout history, their stories have been suppressed because they are a marginalized community. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

the #euphoria tag was a space for people to live watch and tweet about their reactions every sunday night. this tag is an example of a community online specifically for fans of the show to come together and share their thoughts and reactions every week #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

[Upama Roy @UPAMAROY10]

#WeMetOnTwitter is a hastag that showcases people who have met through this app. Twitter in this scenario is a 'social intermediary' that allows people to connect from many different areas as the article liquid love states. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

[Upama Roy @UPAMAROY10]

@AngelesBritezz influencers definitely push forward a picture perfect lifestyle that is carefully fabricated and it affects regular consumers and their perception of how their life should look like

[Upama Roy @UPAMAROY10]

@nicole_hsieh_ this is a cool topic! there is definitely a huge problem regarding modifying appearances on the internet. the scariest example of this that i have seen is deepfakes. people can do whatever they want with faces with the technology we have today

[Upama Roy @UPAMAROY10]

@TDC_RJ this is really interesting! and the transition to digital streaming services has been expedited because of covid. With tv streaming services especially it makes you wonder if having to pay for so many services to watch something is getting out of hand.

my chosen edtp is on nfts and how it is impacting the idea of “owning” something in the digital world plus how it is changing the art world. #DigiTechS22B

[Upama Roy @UPAMAROY10]

Since it is bhm, I would like to go through the tag in order to read about and promote black voices. #RutgersDCIM #virtual90

During a 2018 interview, Somin has shared her thoughts on #MeToo Movement, and her hopes that something will be done to stop harassment and abuse in all industries and professions.

It is difficult for idols in the korean music industry to speak up about systemic abuse they face working in the industry. Due to the movement's impact all over the world, many singers such as Somin have been brave enough to speak about their experiences. #Virtual90 #RutgersDCIM

@mackryprof I definitely see an increase of parents giving a device to their kids in order to distract them if they are being disruptive and I wonder about how much that impacts their developmental years.

[Upama Roy @UPAMAROY10]

@dhavnag_ YouTube has definitely changed the way people learn especially, I have seen so many people say they were able to learn full courses on topics such as coding and because of that they were able to get stable jobs. I think it has majorly changed accessibility to education.
