RHE309K Spring 2019

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

Zizek gives an example of Hugo Chavez as a successful attempt in politicicalization of the masses. Who would Zizek propose would be another successful attempt? #RHEADD

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

Zizek references the ecology of the capitalist system to argue that with the advent of powerful weapons, like nuclear weapons, we can not simply let history run its course as such action could end history for all. #RHEADD

@NadisonCasey I completely agree. 9/11 was a major event and intensified xenophobic actions as a result. I can see that these walls were built out of such bias, which can be attributed to apartheid. #RHEADD

@RHE309ben Something I have come to realize is that my utilization of the internet is a stark contrast to not only my parents but also their entire generation. All of it. This led me to realize that my age is a factor in how I perceive the internet through my interactions. #Epistasis

@abbeyeparks1 One thing I have learned is how unlimited the internet is. Billions of people connect and interact with one another. Truly a small world in a big world. @Antithesis

@abbeyeparks1 I truly enjoyed your thread! Be sure to transition between these topics well and to relate them so that we can understand the lessons learned from this course as well as convert these lessons into action.

@Douglas17609218 Through this class, I have learned the role of ISPs in solving the digital divide. However, I have also learned that ISPs do not provide equality, through letting racial boundaries decide internet access, a problem discussed a million times and still not solved. #hyperbole

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

@Douglas17609218 I really like your narrative and how it comes from your expectations to what you've learned and what you will change in the future from this class. Feel free to relate these ideas together to create fluidity and vibrancy in your essay!

@CeCeDebnam The contrast between my experience in 7th-grade was vastly different than the experience of my brother. While I took notes by hand, my brother's class utilized technology for note taking, even math. WIth how fast time passes by, my 7th-grade was like the stone age. #simile

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

@CeCeDebnam I really enjoyed your thread! Seeing how this class has changed how you view the internet and the role of technology is something that can make your paper great! Be sure to transition between your topics with fluidity and grace to ensure that your paper flows well!

@daisyw98 Because I grew up inundated with technology, I knew my way around it. I never needed help with emails, texting is a part of my routine and browsing the internet required no help. I understood my way around the internet, every aspect of it. #epistasis

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

@daisyw98 I am glad that this class has allowed you to be more emphatic with your parents and their grasp of technology. Feel free to mention what steps you will take differently, now that you understand the magnitiude of the digital divide!

@SheikhMenhal Getting ads about the things I like, such as "organic products" and "recycled materials", incite skepticism instead of an agreement now, as I know what my filter bubbles are. Now, I aim to do my research. After all, filter bubbles are exactly that: filters and bubbles. #diaphora

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

@SheikhMenhal I really like your ideas! You can really make a stellar essay about your reflections of this course and what you have learned from it. I believe you can also relate these topics together. Advertising and filter bubbles are two peas in a pod. Feel free to relate them!

Day poses a more moderate stance compared to Fong. I find this more realisitic as people are not going to leave the internet, which is what Day recognizes. #RHEADD

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

Fong's comparison of the tech industry to the auto industry demonstrates that the tech industry is only worried about profits. While true, the government has taken steps to regulate the auto industry. It is more difficult, but I hope the same goes for the tech industry. #RHEADD

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

Malmgren really does a good job on why "killer sites" such as Mastodon are not as popular. the simple fact that your friends aren't there is why Facebook and Twitter remain big. #RHEADD

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

Koebler's article really highlights the quote that if its free, then you are the product. #RHEADD

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

@TJF321ADD Pretty bad, not gonna lie. With fake news, echo chambers, and personalized ads, we are simply being manipulated by the ones who control the internet. #RHEADD

[UTAnonMM @UTAnonMM1]

I like that Deleuze mentions that people should be aware that the shift from disciplinary societies to the societies of control is simply just another form of manipulation and power. #rheadd
