In the presentation about celebrity conspiracy theories, they discuss how an article claims Avril Lavigne died & had been replaced by a clone. in 2003. In the link below, there is an interview with Avril where she comments & basically says that conspiracy is absurd. #RHUB100
Wednesdays group (two) spoke about how social media spreads fake news online . In the article below. It extends what the group was saying & states that fake news is more than likely spread faster than pieces of true news. #RHUB100
@kjs0703 Click bait is a method to get people catch the attention of a person getting them interested in the article and get them to read. There are many obvious signs that it is fake news. #RHUB100
In the article about “9 shocking clickbaits”... it discusses how the title is always what catches people’s attention. This can be done by the title being “shocking/amazing..” which is seen on the link below It is shocking which intrigues people to read. #RHUB100
Soll in his article , discusses how fake news has been around for a very long time. Going back to the 1400s. I would like to see a group discuss about how we can stop/prevent fake news from happening since it’s having a negative effect #RHUB100
@LuistroDani Yes, it has definitely changed and it seems as if our leaders would be more trustworthy however that is not the case for certain people’s opinions anymore. #RHUB100
In”Still Crazy After All These Years” Monroe illustrates Andersen’s claim that people are believing their own truths.We see this when he brings up how Trump claimed Obama wasnt a U.S Citizen. The facts weren’t enough & people still believed what they wanted to believe. #RHUB100
@LuistroDani The more statistics he provides the more credible he becomes capturing the attention of his intended audience and getting them to believe whatever he wants them to believe #RHUB100
One of Andersen’s claim is that over the past 1/2 century America seems to be untied from reality in which causes them to be in “Fantasyland”. Assumes it’s because of1)technology & 2)“the new rule” that one can find their own realities & will all be relative in the end #RHUB100
@LuistroDani I agree, they both produce a harsh town however Switek comes off as more insulting in a sense and has a harsher tone throughout his article. #RHUB100
Switek and Shermer both argue that Ancient Aliens is illogical. They both have a negative tone throughout their articles explaining how everything that is said in Ancient Aliens is a joke and stupid. #RHUB100
@kjs0703 I agree with this & believe that his anecdotes helped his credibility tremendously. By using his personal experience as an example comes to show that he knows what he’s talking about since he is one who has been affected by the internet. #RHUB100
Carr uses personal anecdotes & studies to support his claim that technology&the internet are affecting the way we absorb information when we read.He also brings in quotes from credible people agreeing with the affect which helps build credibility in his argument. #RHUB100
@kjs0703 I agree with what you’re saying. Anderson assumes that today’s society has reached a plateau with creativity & also reaches out to the older generation who would most likely agree. #RHUB100
In Anderson article “ You Say You Want a Devolution?” Anderson makes the assumption that over the last 20 years we have been at a plateau with creativity. We see this when he states, “.. the 00s,the 90s, even a lot of the 80s-look almost identical to the present.” #RHUB100
@kjs0703 I agree with Thompson and believe that writing down helps to memorize information easier rather than typing it out on a laptop which people are more likely to forget. #RHUB100
Thompson presents evidence of composed emails tweets,&blogs we post.He calculates that we’re composing around 36 mill books daily&compares it to the U.S Library Congress that holds 35 mill books.He does this to show how the internet has produced a vast amount of writing.#RHUB100
