After reading Mark Zuckerberg's treatise on social media, I think it was a nice post he wrote and I think it shows what Mark Zuckerberg sees in Facebook and the goal of building a strong community together. #eme4390S22

I think Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram will continue to strive in the social media industry. They are constantly new social media platforms coming out but, I believe these are the big 3 and they will continue to be around for awhile. #eme4390S22

Wrapping up this chapter, I read 'We Are Not The Same: Race and the Internet' and the biggest take away I got was that we cannot insist our personal history onto other people. With this, we can't expect everyone to have the same thoughts and opinions as us. #eme4390S22

I just started ' Artificial Intelligence Has a Problem With Gender and Racial Bias. Here's How To Solve It' and I am surprised at how much racial and gender bias is in Artificial Intelligence (AI) machines. Most sold by large name companies. #eme4390S22

Another interesting statement in the article, Why Race Matters on the Internet, is the worrisome fact that some companies can act as gatekeepers and can decide when needy citizens get access to things that they need. #eme4390S22

Another thing in the article, Why Race Matters on the Internet, that I found interesting is that not everyone has equal access to the internet. The article states how only 60% of households have Broadband internet access. #eme4390S22

When I was reading "Why Race matters on the Internet" I read about how race matters through every website and post on the internet. Everything on the internet is driven by the whims and policies of some wealthy companies, according to the article.

After reading 'Guest: Are apps becoming a human crutch?', I believe it is so important for us to take time to disconnect from our phones and apps and be on our own for a little to reconnect with ourselves and the world. #eme4390S22

[Caroline DeMott @caroline_demott]

On the other hand, We use apps everyday to make things more convenient for us and they can even give us different experiences. A ton of people also use apps for their source of income. #eme4390S22

[Caroline DeMott @caroline_demott]

While reading 'Guest: Are apps becoming a human crutch?', I came across the idea of app-dependency when one fully relies on an app or multiple apps. I mean where would we all be without Google Maps. #eme4390S22

As I finished the documentary, I found it eye opening to see how much we are controlled by technology and how we believe a lot of the information that is out there that is not always factual information. The takeaway I got was how much our information is taken and monitored.

[Caroline DeMott @caroline_demott]

As I got more into the documentary, I found it fascinating how technology companies have thousands of computers underground and underwater to collect information and connect data together. #eme4390s2021

[Caroline DeMott @caroline_demott]

I also found it interesting the three different techniques technology companies use such as: engagement, growth, and advertising. All of these things are used to keep you coming back to their platform. #eme4390s2021

[Caroline DeMott @caroline_demott]

As I get more into the movie, a good point is brought up about how everything that we do, post, and like/ comment on social media is being watched and tracked. Something to keep in mind before posting. #eme4390s2021

[Caroline DeMott @caroline_demott]

I just started watching The Social Dilemma for my class and they have already started talking about how so many teens are affected by social media by making them either depressed or want to undergo surgery to make them look like how they do online. So intriguing. #eme4390s2021

Many large corporations collect data on all their consumers and use it to determine consumer buying habits. Many also store their consumers information's in files to keep track of their buying habits. #eme4390S22
