@BridgetAnneCar1@laurarw#ucengl2074 the internet and internet culture has already effected elections. i think the internet was a pivotal part in Trump’s election. the internet makes consequences seem much smaller and that goes with voter misinformation and following trends that effect our country.
@emily_t22@laurarw#ucengl2074 i wish everyone took such precautions when posting on social media. celebrities aren’t the only people who can be stalked by strangers. we need to stop feeling so comfortable with letting the world know everything about us through the internet
@JoshieDev@laurarw#ucengl2074 i think that the awareness of mental illness has shot up with the internet. i don’t think we had proper ways for people to diagnose, communicate, and be aware of these illnesses before the internet was available. we are more aware of it because we have discussions.
#ucengl2074@laurarw Do you think dangerous internet challenges are a sign of our changing culture or are they just appealing to kids who want to be rebellious? Dangerous internet challenges seem to keep popping up and gaining popularity https://t.co/fQXMVOhjcI
@Kellie_UC@laurarw#ucengl2074 i feel like this is a positive thing involving VR. having new ways to train and play a sport your love and constantly work at can be great. i think this will be a new age of athletes and i’m interested to see how this plays a role in the future.
@juliafunk01@laurarw#ucengl2074 i am very wary about internet privacy and targeted ads. i feel like there is not enough protection laws against us being basically spied on. there is no real privacy on the internet because we do not have full control over it. i wish people were more careful with it.
@ellabailey922@laurarw#ucengl2074 i think that the spread of misinformation on the internet should be an obvious reality now. i expect more lies than truth out of things i read, so checking the sources and doing the research yourself is a great habit to have. and the spreader loses all credibility
@NicoleAnnNewman@BusinessInsider@laurarw#ucengl honestly i believe that this will continue to grow and not in a good way. the idea of the meta verse is strange and so is VR. i don’t own any VR things because i’m honestly disturbed by it. i hope it is a fad!
@KendallxWright@laurarw#ucengl2074 i think we will never come back for social media. it is embedded in our culture and has weaves itself into our lives in such a dependent way. i don’t think social media will ever go away, only evolve.
@Maddiemmaureen@laurarw#ucengl2074 social media can help connect resources to populations that need them most. natural disasters have become easier to prepare for and handle because of the outreach that can occur on the internet. strangers can donate or spread info with the click of a button.
@audreyystring@laurarw#ucengl2074 i think that social media is a really helpful tool to get to know a person. companies can see what kinds of things you post and decide whether they want that personality at their company. i think some things found on social media should be make or break.
@yung_aaron_t @laurarw#ucengl2074 i think the NFT phenomenon is insane. i’m not very educated on how they work, but from what i understand now, i can’t believe people are buying into it. things like this are what should make us question how our society and economy functions.
@mapleleafduck@laurarw#ucengl2074 this is such a great question. i think that we need to adapt quickly on how to keep our minds healthy while being so consumed with the internet. that is why i think face to face meetings and classes will never go away. they have so much value.
@PCARRIGAN4@laurarw#ucengl2074 I think our culture has turned internet fame into something that is so listed after that we would do anything for that recognition. these “challenges” are a way to put yourself at risk for views and are childish to me
@emgirdler @LauraW #ucengl2074 i think that online advertisements have become more important than ever. and now that we have had to buy things online for over two years, we have created a reliance on the internet. platforms like tiktok, twitter, and instagram are marketing field days.
@Homan94@laurarw#ucengl2074 i completely agree. a one minute clip on one day cannot possibly show the whole truth of someone’s situation or personality. this is why people are so judgmental and are quick to jump to conclusions today.
@KET2033 @laurarw#ucengl2074 i don’t really use social media for my career or to enhance my options for a career. i try to keep my online presence pretty minimal.
@Abbey_UC@laurarw#ucengl2074 i think that i see the “think before you tweet rule” being broken the most. i see too many companies making formal apologies for something that should have been obviously offensive or incorrect in the first place.
@MajorBeezle@laurarw#ucengl2074 This video was so hard to watch but i feel a responsibility to see it. this is a reality that people live every day, and it is my privilege that makes it feel uncomfortable. it is our job to educate ourselves. social media is a great way to expose brutality like this
@laurarw#ucengl2074 i think I would be really good at content marketing. i often see ads and commercials that i think i could improve with my own input and writing. One thing I could improve on is my understanding of social media. i don’t use it often so i don’t know it’s full potential
