@Sebasti94126894 I see your point, but many people don't realize what their location is being used for. Is it still ethical even when people are not truly informed of the use of the data? #EME4390S21003 #DigitalIdentity

@DavidMcGre Epocrates seems pretty helpful in the medical field. Over-dependence on apps is a pretty big problem, do you think that epocrates is overly relied on, or do medical professionals use it in a healthy way? #DigitalIdentity #EME4390S21003

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

@DanielK15147 Where is the line drawn for when it becomes negative? Apps can be negative, especially when one becomes overly dependent. But when does healthy use become unhealthy? #EME4390S21003 #DigitalIdentity

A highly rated self help app is Moodfit. #DigitalIdentity #EME4390S21003

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

In the field of CPS, not many apps are used. Generally CPS work in done on paper and computers are used for files. Since CPS is very straining, self-health is very important so I would like to think that CPS workers probably use self-help apps.

The "App Generation" is categorized by the young people with the use of apps at their fingertips. Howard Gardner found that young people are "app" directed and find their identity through the use of apps. #EME4390S21003 #DigitalIdentity https://t.co/vOsHDVOAbs

Are apps really private? The New York Times clearly shows that they aren't. Location on phones is used by apps to give data to Big Tech and large corporations. This use of data is in plain sight! #EME4390S21003 #DigitalIdentity

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

Howard Gardner and Katie Davis point out that apps can be helpful and harmful at the same time. On one hand, apps can help you remember things and actively alleviate stress, but on the other hand, we are becoming to dependent on apps. #EME4390S21003 #Digital_Identity

Remember to take a moment for your mental health. You have a direct effect on your mental health, so take care of yourself and rest when needed #StayAlive

“Rest” is more than just sleep. Be sure to take the time to take care of yourself. You’re worth it! #Tampa #TampaBay #Florida

There is a link between substance abuse and suicide. 50% of suicides are in direct relation to substance abuse. Whether substances are involved or not, your life is important. There are people who want to help #StayAlive

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

For anyone who needs to talk to someone, there are so many different resources out there. The suicide hotline number is 800-273-8255. You can even talk to me if you need to. #StayAlive

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

In Tampa, suicide is the second leading cause of death for people ages 10-34. Don't wait to help someone until it is too late. Look for the warning signs and help them #StayAlive https://t.co/5Ja5M7fJ8H

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

Let's take a moment to be thankful for the people in our lives! For some people, it is extremely difficult to wake up every morning and to chose life over death. We are grateful for how strong you are and we are here for you! #StayAlive

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

Happy Thanksgiving! Let's give thanks to all the people that aided agaisnt suicide and stayed strong! We understand how difficult it is for you, but you're still here! Thank you and keep going #StayAlive

@TeodoraFTavares We have seen a lot of different uses for technology these past few years due to the pandemic and our politics surely have been affected. When we are done with the pandemic, will the Internet still be used in the same ways? Will voting still be held electronically?

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

@HollyBates01 So much anger is wasted on the wrong topics! There are so many problems, that if anger was directed towards them, we would see historic change. How do we go about redirecting this anger?

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

@DavidMcGre I agree that universities should be a place for open discourse, but is there a certain line that should be drawn? How do you distinguish between meaningful discourse and downright hate speech? #Digital_Identiy #EME4390002

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

In order to facilitate meaningful discussion between differing individuals, speech cannot be censored. There are also times when people are canceled, rightfully so. But having separate opinions, even in the political field, is by no means cause for cancellation.

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

Jonathan Haidt talks mostly about speech politics and how unhealthy university speech climates are. People have different ideas, beliefs, and fears, and people should be able to speak without being punished #Digital_Identiy #EME4390002 https://t.co/Ycjj8o2M4t

[Megan Carney @UsfMegan]

2020 became a year for "Cancel Culture" which in and of itself breeds an unhealthy speech climate. Having an opinion no longer became an option, rather it became "this is the only opinion you can have." Without different opinions, there is no room for compromise.
