Computer enthusiast 👾. In my free time, you can find me on the track - running fast for @mcgillu. Oh, and I like cats.

No such thing as too comfortable 😂

Glad my 30 second vid stuck!!

This is silly, but that scene in Avengers: Endgame when the women all join together in the final battle was honestly so empowering. Men get to see a team of men go into battle on a screen anytime they like. But for me, it was a first #RepresentationMatters #ccom315

@sahar_jaleel Yup! Seems like everyone agrees that for the #FutureOfWriting we will all be talking a little bit more "naturally". @RicenNoodlez video is still stuck in my head 🤣

Hope everyone enjoys the #315theNet tweet party tonight @ 8pm! Unfortunately, I can't make it because I have track practice 😓

@briochiy I actually just watched The Matrix for the first time last weekend! I'm currently 🤯 from your analysis

[Diego Dorantes-Ferreira @diegodorfer]

I definitely feel "always-on". As an aspiring software developer and a casual gamer, I spend about 8 hours a day on my computer. So, I kinda have a hard time escaping digital technology 😅 #315WeekTwelve

Ngl, I was a little intimidated at first to edit a pretty big Wikipedia page. But now, I can see why this assignment is a fan-favourite; It was exciting to add new information. Hopefully one day someone might benefit from my additions 🤝 #315WikiChallenge #315WeekEleven

[Diego Dorantes-Ferreira @diegodorfer]

@alexhross1 So true. In one click you have all the information you need right in front of you - no pop ups, no banners, no blurred out text, absolutely nothing!

[Diego Dorantes-Ferreira @diegodorfer]

Like many, my high school teachers always discouraged me to use Wikipedia, which I don't think was fair. Open-source projects, like Wikipedia, encourages innovation through collaboration! #315WeekEleven

Better late than never!
Here's my open letter:

Hey, that rhymed 😂

@maelledefer Completely agree. With newspapers, there was only a certain amount being printed; the spread of information was bounded. Today, due to the affordances of social media, there is no limit to the amount of retweets/shares/duplications of information 🤯 #315fakenews

[Diego Dorantes-Ferreira @diegodorfer]

@siennathecolour Same! The Trump era was the first time I got exposed to the term "fake news". Just by looking at the Google Trends 📈search, I think most of us learned about these terms during that time... #315fakenews

[Diego Dorantes-Ferreira @diegodorfer]

I had never heard of “digital blackface” before. Whenever looking for a GIF, I've always selected the one I felt was most relatable, but I've never asked myself, "why do I find this relatable?"🤔#315WeekSeven

#FirstTimeISawMe #ccom315 growing up as a Latino boy + with the name Diego, this one may come as no surprise 😁:

Rachel, and other Buzzfeed quiz makers, should definitely get paid. Although Buzzfeed might not be doing anything with the quiz data, the increased ad revenue from the traffic that the popular quizzes reel in is all they need. 💸 #315WeekSix

[Diego Dorantes-Ferreira @diegodorfer]

I think the invisible online labour list is spot on. As a computer science major that's interested in web dev, I understand firsthand😓 #315WeekSix

[Diego Dorantes-Ferreira @diegodorfer]

Naturally, everyone gravitates towards buying the product with the most reviews - increasing the snowball effect/bias. 📈 #315WeekSix

[Diego Dorantes-Ferreira @diegodorfer]

Besner mentions that review platforms create bias - I couldn't agree more. Just look at any category of products on Amazon; a lot of items have a couple hundred reviews, but there is always that one item that has tens of thousands of reviews. #315WeekSix

[Diego Dorantes-Ferreira @diegodorfer]

What could possibly go wrong...🤦‍♂️

Whenever I think of a How-To, I think right away of https://t.co/JSGnrMVhrW. For any How-To, there's definitely an expectation for high readability. All of wikiHow's guides are very easy to read, and the big pictures they include are, in my opinion, a necessary bonus #315WeekFive
