Top Tweets for #315WeekOne
In @blackmirror's“Nosedive,” ratings were based on “authentic gestures” and “meaningful encounters,” but people couldn’t handle being faced with true honesty.
It's a great commentary on superficiality and society's obsession with perfection #315WeekOne
Great work on #315WeekOne, folks! Interesting to see many of you pointed to scalability and persistence as two key affordances of online writing (although not without their own drawbacks). We've changed the ways in which we approach & understand the web a lot in the last 10 yrs.
One accordance Boyd may have missed is Accessibility. With the growth of the internet, writing has become much more accessible. The internet has provided an easy platform for anyone to share ideas. #315WeekOne
searchability is a powerful affordance in #Nosedive. facial recognition technology facilitates the ability to locate others' profiles, rankings and online history in the vast digital community. #315WeekOne
Most important affordance in the digital world is scalability IMO. Nowadays, you can reach a much wider audience online than you ever could have in a physical space. Who knows -- maybe your actual audience IRL is vastly different and larger than your intended one? 🤔#315WeekOne
Persistence is key in @blackmirror's #Nosedive episode. Characters are protective of their image and behavior in fear of how they're perceived by others. Any mistake is recorded against them, impacting their authenticity. Sad reality of what #socialmedia can do. #315WeekOne
Boyd (2010) forgets to mention accessibility as a category of affordance. In today's age, the digital world should be a space that can be accessed by all people across the world. A place where everyone can feel understood, and for expression to be heard! #315WeekOne
Between all of Boyd's affordances, I think scalability is the most important one. The more people your content reaches, the bigger the impact your ideas/thoughts can have on others. #315weekone
Here is my Twitter Bio APOS Practice. I look into musical actor @richardcharest's bio. https://t.co/mlXGFnmCKk #315WeekOne
Searchability is the most important of Boyd's affordances. Virtual spaces can be so vast that information is easily lost, so accessibility is key to maintaining the digital archive #315WeekOne #CCOM315
I believe the most important Boyd affordance is scalability because it empowers businesses, groups and individuals alike to widely share their products, thoughts or ideas #315WeekOne
One affordance Boyd does not mention is audience, without people viewing the content of social media, the 4 affordances are not possible #315WeekOne
Of Boyd's affordances, I think the most important is Searchability. It can be a a massive network, you can duplicate any content, have everything archived and recorded... but without searching, how can find what you like?
#ccom315 do you agree? Lmk!
#315WeekOne #315CatchingUp
Nosedive was a fictional story with unfortunate dangerous truth. Social media users have become so concerned with their online presence that it becomes more important than actually living in the moment. I am interested in hearing people’s thoughts about the ending! #315WeekOne
I think another affordance can be “content creation”. What kind of content can this digital means allow us to post? I.e. on Twitter we are limited to a certain number of characters which creates boundaries as to ideas that can be shared. I’m running out of space…😜 #315WeekOne
In Nosedive, persistence is evident with Lacie’s obsession with having the best possible rating; ratings act as a social archive in the digital world. Scalability is present through her coffee post reaching a significant amount of people. #315weekone
Haha I was looking if someone said it! I totally agree Interactivity has become the core mechanism of most of online platforms through algorithms, it is the best way to achieve visibility. Each interaction can transform or elevate the original creation #315weekone
