I will strive not to make the internet the same for all, but to make it equal and nondiscriminatory for all. #rheadd

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

I will not abuse my anonymity for hateful or malicious actions #rheadd

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

I will acknowledge the fact that I am in a filter bubble and do not see the internet the same as someone of a different race, gender, or age. #rheadd

@rheaddavinash I think that more and more people are seeing how our reality is being affected by everyday actions. The use of social media and public figures has allowed for well-known people to speak up on topics like this. #rheadd

Why does Zizek say that "it is only today that we can say that the historical process should effectively be conceived "not only as Substance, but also as Subject"? #rheadd

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

On page 422 Zizek says, "with the biogenetic companies patenting genes, we are all discovering that parts of ourselves, our genetic components, are already copyrighted, owned by others". This feels extremely creepy to me and makes you realize how little privacy anyone has #rheadd

@CeCeDebnam “Because of the leg up, I’m a native. My parents aren’t, and I grew up taking computer classes at school, playing Webkinz at home, & never struggled when using the internet.” #ellipsis

@Shelby52840404 You could use personification in this by saying something about how you're basically going on dates with different websites or advertisements, and the more that you go on these "dates", the more likely you are to see them.

@SheikhMenhal I think you could definitely talk more about how your friends had to travel in order to be able to apply to college. This is a really interesting perspective that a lot of people dont have. I think talking about your moms situation as a digital immigrant could also be interesting

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

@daisyw98 I really enjoyed your perspective on how the internet has shaped your childhood and how it affects your relationships with your family. It's so important to realize the difference between lives of those who have access and don't, and I think you did a really good job at this.

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

@abbeyeparks1 I really enjoyed your uses of both simile and metaphor. I think these are really good comparisons for how the internet works. In your final paper, you could expand on the role of fake news and how else you can avoid it.

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

@CeCeDebnam I really enjoyed reading your twitter thread, your use of rhetorical figures of speech was really intriguing. I think it would be interesting to expand on the school situation with internet in your final paper, like what happens to students who don't know how to navigate it.

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

@Shelby52840404 I think for your full paper you could expand on the idea of internet ads being personalized for individuals. You could pull some information from your last paper for this part. You could also expand on the difference between internet for men and women.

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

I really enjoyed hearing Day's perspective on the internet. I agree that we can't just log off of our social media accounts; instead we should re-imagine how we use them. #rheadd

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

Fong mentions that many people work jobs they do not enjoy and therefore "spend a good deal of their “free time” binging on short bursts of prescribed “social” interaction". What are the outcomes of spending free time in this way? #rheadd

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

Malmgren says, "People don’t see the point in adapting to a new platform until it reaches a critical mass—even though they’re the exact people it would need to get there." People are far more likely to stick to the social medias they already use than switch to a new one. #rheadd

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

The Koebler article was pretty frightening to read. Even though I knew that apps were saving my information, I didn't realize how many apps do it. It definitely makes me reconsider what apps I really need. #rheadd

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

@CeCeDebnam I think Deleuze is saying that emotions can't actually change anything. If you want to change something, you have to actually do something. #rheadd

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

I am sheltered by my filter bubble but go out of my way to read multiple sources from different points of view. My version of the internet is different than others and my life is certainly different from those who cannot access the internet the way that I can.

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

In our discussion of the digital divide during this semester, I have discovered how unique my perspective of the internet is. The greatest of the factors that form my view of the internet is my location. #alliteration

[Meredith @UTMeredithH]

Accessible, broad, comprehensive, direct, exhaustive, fast...my version of the internet is extremely informative, helpful, and reliable, but others cannot say the same. #abecedarian
