@JessL in the #module11 readings for #NMN I learned not only that https://t.co/mdTC79tQKv exists, but also that because of limitations on the platform it caused users to expand a system of expressive gestures into a system of codified pictograms #MACT#comm555
@JessL@suethomas Would there be a difference in a technobiophilia examination if the environment is defined as both a physical and spiritual plane, as per some Indigenous cultures? Would that complicate this phenomenon? #NMN#comm555
@JessL@suethomas Before you started your research in 2004, did you have an idea/picture of what the internet would be as a landscape? Did your thoughts on this change after your research? #NMN#comm555
@JessL And thirdly, I didn't realize how much power newer social media platforms like WhatsApp have in activism and protest. I had only really heard of groups using Twitter or Facebook as main tools #NMN#comm555
@JessL I have also learned how not only can hashtags be used to make content findable and create a sense of community, but it also can form the rhetoric around a topic, as with the women in their 40s/50s embracing who they are and resisting being devalued #NMN#comm555
@JessL In #NMN I have learned how prominent and powerful Analytic Activism is. I hadn't considered that activist organizations would use data in that way, but it makes so much sense and seems obvious, in retrospect #comm555
@JessL the level of sassiness in the "misappropriation of the word curate" reading for this week absolutely cracked me up. Can we start a petition to write all our papers that way for @NMN? #comm555#MACT
@drbrake@katragram It's a good option. Once I run into a paywall I just find another article on a different site, thereby making them lose page views, as well
