We should all give thanks to the internet because as a student, we work with media every day, and I found that it is easy to get free electric book online. I do not need to go to the library to read through long and turgid books. via @wangwanzhi1

Selfies are one of the most common self-presentations on social media. But it breaks the boundary of privacy in some ways, because not everyone is willing to be in selfies. via ^MengSengI

Daniel Trottier uses the term "social media surveillance" to describe the phenomenon that people view others' self-presentations meanwhile their self-presentations are also exposed online. via ^MengSengI

Wondering if anybody else can relate - I've found myself sharing a lot less content on my social media since starting this course. Possibly stemming from a hyper awareness of the reasons that made me want to share in the first place via @Yin_Ada16
