Facebook might be popular among an older group of people, but it is dying down for the younger crowd, which explains why there's a lack of influencers on Facebook as opposed to Instagram.

Because of this new lifestyle in which people expose how they live, the public is always one to make comments about one's actions, which can either add to their popularity or lead to one's downfall.

When looking at the different metrics implemented in social media platforms such as likes on Instagram, you can see the shift in people's desires and goals to attain more of them.

Music is used as a means to unify people of all backgrounds and can also trigger nostalgic feelings. It is truly a beautiful artform to me.

I resonate with what Turow and Draper highlight which is the prevalence of digital resignation – the notion in which users want to control the personal information digital entities have access to but they feel as if they are not able to do so. #CUcomm3200_21EH

Misinformation steers us further away from what we believe is our true values and these misconceptions that are formed from misinformation causes us to move further away from an ideal society.

Health misinformation affects marginalized communities to a great extent and similar to many social issues, people not within these communities are more capable of bringing about change. #CUcomm_19EH

Using social media should not be the sole source of social activism one takes part in for a real change to occur; one must show their passion through actual forms of activism like protests. #CUcomm3200_16EH

The use of social media helps spread all sorts of news, including those related to politics. Being more active online is what will help with bringing awareness to certain issues and political climates, like what is going on in Ukraine currently. #CUcomm3200_15EH

I usually use Slack to communicate with my team projects and for professional groups, so the thought of using it outside of the professional realm is very interesting to me. Expressing one's voice through Slack can change the way activism is implemented. #CUcomm3200_12EH

Sexuality is a wide spectrum that is complex. Algorithms fail to capture the complexities, ultimately forming some type of bias. This is very problematic. @CUComm3200 #CUcomm3200_11EH

The presentation reinforced the idea that journalism is beyond writing about what interests journalists -- it is a way to spread factual information. With the growing spread of misinformation, it is vital to foster the values of journalism. #CUcomm3200_10EH

According to Lepore, journalism is being reinvented by tech companies rather than the workers involved in the actual process (journalists and editors). I think this is taking away from the true art and beauty of journalism.

Silverman's experiences embody the dismal reality of the freelance journalist world. The competition is forming more divisions among people and taking away from the true meaning of journalism (sharing one's ideas in a meaningful way). @CUComm3200 #CuComm3200_8EH

I disagree with the monoculture of media because I do watch what I like, but I do not think I close myself off from people who watch different things. I want to explore more shows, and I know most of my friends are in the same boat @CUComm3200 #CUcomm3200_7EH

The Washington Post article made me open my eyes to the very clear disproportionality between women and men in the computing courses I attend. Most of the CS classes I took are taught by male figures as well. @CUComm3200 #CuComm3200_5EH

According to Standage and Stevenson, wireless communication's popularity stemmed from the development of the radio, and as technology advanced, it shifted to the internet (social media in particular). I wonder what's next... @CUComm3200 #CUcomm3200_2EH

As content creators revel in the fruits of publicity set out by TikTok according to Galer, there has been a huge integration of social media in our lives. The algorithm used in the platform enhances user engagement, causing the app to be very popular. @CUComm3200 #CUcomm3200_1EH
