10 years ago flat design changed everything.

Apple debuted iOS 7 and let go of Steve Jobs' favorite - Skeuomorphism.

But there's one thing most people don't realise.

That change is PROFOUND on a cultural level.

Gardner further discusses in the video below how he and Davis researched the way apps have changed the lives of youth, inc. through interviews w/ youths, those who work with them, and even comparing the writings and drawings of children from 20 years ago to now #HerlihyEME4390S23

[Ashley Wiser @a_wiser5]

This article by Gardner and Davis highlights the difference between being app-enabled versus being app-dependent, which comes with more risks as we give up our autonomy and allow apps to make more decisions for us https://t.co/sZCVRDkLYS #HerlihyEME4390S23

[Ashley Wiser @a_wiser5]

This article from NYT gives us insight to how apps utilize users' location data and sell them to companies for purposes such as analysis and advertising. However, they can often fail to clearly communicate this usage to their users https://t.co/rTYHSl6OFK #HerlihyEME4390S23

I like Haidt's neutral stance that identity politics are not inherently a negative thing, but rather it depends on how they are organizing (ie common humanity vs common enemy) https://t.co/j8CzLqSrSw #HerlihyEME4390S23

[Ashley Wiser @a_wiser5]

I think this makes sense because, in my experience, people tend to be more skeptical about getting information from online sources or social media compared to reputable traditional / print sources, and I think this would apply to information about politics #HerlihyEME4390S23

[Ashley Wiser @a_wiser5]

According to this article, people who use the internet or social media were more likely to report that they believed it has had a positive effect on politics than non-users. https://t.co/NRpScH9ZUn #HerlihyEME4390S23

I found it interesting how this article points out how effective digital democracy can be even in countries where only a portion of its people have internet access like Brazil. https://t.co/ETNJFiLt4D #HerlihyEME4390S23

This article shows how the Internet can be the medium for public outcry against racism and other inequalities, as shown with the viral, controversial video shown here. https://t.co/ZuUSkVdFMa #HerlihyEME4390S23

[Ashley Wiser @a_wiser5]

In this article, Dr. Jenna Drenten challenges the social media trend of influencers showing off their pristine pantries, arguing that it perpetuates prejudices. https://t.co/sSkNL9IpxQ #HerlihyEME4390S23

[Ashley Wiser @a_wiser5]

I found this article interesting as it focuses on the prejudices of individuals in fandom culture, which often engages in online spaces/on social media. https://t.co/ihXtJzYuOI #HerlihyEME4390S23
