Feeling overwhelmed? Try taking up a new hobby to unwind! It is a nice break from the usually draining daily routine.

Give yourself a break! Research has shown that people with hobbies are less likely to suffer from stress, low mood, and depression.

It is time for the existence and expression of new ideas. In today's society, including work and school, we need more freedom to speak up with uncommon opinions without fear of backlash. "We have to assure them that they're not going to be shamed, humiliated" (Haidt)

The Trump advertisement campaign on Facebook worked to resonate with their audience, this committee was successful in swaying voters since they were able to "create these specific ads that really spoke to particular groups of people" (Pittman)

[Bella Idone @bella_idone]

It is incredible that the overwhelming power of Facebook's digital marketing and advertising was able to sway voters in the presidential election by targeting "registered voters that had a low propensity to vote and a propensity to vote for Donald Trump if they come" (Parscale)

Do you know just how significant the power of technology is? One example is the way Brazil's government used legislative crowdsourcing where "more than 10,000 people contributed via online platforms to the drafting of 2014’s Marco Civil" (Whitford) https://t.co/zKQOCi3x31

After finishing the @SocialDilemma_ movie on @netflix I feel weary of the direction that social media is heading. Something needs to be changed for the greater good and not just for the efficiency and wealth of social media platforms!

We wonder how we become so divided in our political opinions, thoughts, and beliefs. The continuing exponential rise of false information in social media continues to fuel these cultures wars.

[Bella Idone @bella_idone]

It is so startling to see the power that these social media companies hold! The way that conspiracy theories can spread like wild fire by these platforms finding people most likely to be persuaded by such false information.

@DanteJCola @SocialDilemma_ I would like to alter the way I scroll through social media but it is so hard to know how to change my habits when I didn’t even notice the influence that their algorithms have on me.

[Bella Idone @bella_idone]

After starting the documentary, @SocialDilemma_, I find it so fascinating that the product that social platforms are selling their users’ attention. Its an idea that never occurred to me.

[Bella Idone @bella_idone]

The misconception that I am making my own decisions when scrolling through social media is so unsettling! These platforms know how to encourage certain taps and engagements from their users.

@Nathan_Booth2 This is a great point to make! It is a scary thought that they have access to my phone, but also kind of nice to know that it is done in order to protect us.

[Bella Idone @bella_idone]

@TeodoraFTavares This is a great approach! Would you agree to allow companies to use data mining in order to benefit you?

[Bella Idone @bella_idone]

@HollyBates01 I completely agree in the aspect that it is becoming inevitable, but are there ways to minimize the information that is shared with these companies?

[Bella Idone @bella_idone]

Modern architects are using data to best meet their clients needs. Architects use various techniques to sell their designs and ideas, but with big data access it is easier to sell to the consumer’s wants.

A disadvantage of big data includes the disturbing fact that these companies know nearly every piece of our personal information. Where we live, where we go, what we spend our money on. It is an alarming reality! #EME4390F21006 #Digital_Identity

[Bella Idone @bella_idone]

With the use of big data, companies are able to provide us with the goods and services that best benefit our needs without the hassle of us, the consumer, having to search for what we want. #EME4390F21006 #Digital_Identity

Big data and data mining is becoming a scary reality in today’s world. While it is unsettling to think about companies knowing our every detail, it is something that will inevitably become a bigger and bigger part of our technological future. #EME4390F21006 #Digital_Identity
