I want to highlight the overpassed category of university students, working students. I'm curious about how they are getting the support they need and what is their university experience like…if they have any :) #bcm212 #mycuriosity

After #bcm112’s last few lectures about surveillance capitalism, i find myself reading the Terms & Conditions now 👀 and disabling Cookies 🙈

[ala.obeid @alaobeid1]

Thank you #bcm112 for all the ads that are bombarding my phone & laptop about crypto’s and NFTs :)

This video about China's 'facial recognition and state control' has really got me thinking as technology develops, will it save us (like decrease crime rate perhaps) or will it lead to abuse of the rights of the citizens? https://t.co/5hF3tXcDG9

[ala.obeid @alaobeid1]

As a marketer, I learn about FACS for product and ad tests and brand emotions. This method scans people's facial expressions and muscle movement into Action Units (AUs) to identify their mood. This relates to the issues of privacy, surveillance, and behavioral modulation. #bcm112

If I had a digital art as an "NFT", it would probably look something like this...alsooo it would probably promote my DA 🤪 (VT is my travel agency). Would you buy it though? 👀 #bcm112

[ala.obeid @alaobeid1]

I have mixed feelings about Web 3, NFTs, and Crypto's. Can anyone relate? #bcm112

Here's an infographic I made about Simulacra, Spectacle, & Simulation and its stages! With examples!!! #bcm112

Are Instagram filters an example of #framing and promoting a specific angle of beauty...or no? 🤔#bcm112

[ala.obeid @alaobeid1]

#Framing is one of the many ways of media manipulation, also referred to as “agenda setting”, “#propaganda”, & “misinformation”. So...it all depends on what YOU see and how it influences YOU. #bcm112

[ala.obeid @alaobeid1]

Usage of algorithms controls the media by pushing barbaric, exotic and oppressed content about the MENA region; while blocking and hiding their voices on social media. This leaves people completely clueless about the real culture of MENA, which leads to hate crimes. (2/2) #bcm222

[ala.obeid @alaobeid1]

Social media's impact on representation of the MENA region includes, hate speech, racism and stereotyping. Muslim and Middle Easterners often stereotyped as extremists has become very apparent in film, making Islam to be unfavorable. (1/2) #bcm222

Proof that it’s pronounced ✨JIF✨ Steve Wilhite - the inventor of GIF - confirms 😌 #bcm112

[ala.obeid @alaobeid1]

Memes that are similar in idea don’t necessarily communicate the same understanding. Memes adapt to each society and culture, just as these two memes about family differ in the Western and Middle Eastern societies. #bcm112
