It is incredible that over all of these years, our tweets and diaries are mostly about activities. While both have different affordances, they still fill our needs to tell others what we are doing. #SUComm1A19
"New practices do not so much flow from technologies that inspire them as they are improvised out of old practices that no longer work in new settings" I'd never thought of our new inventions as adapting to our new settings I always thought that we adapted to new tech #SUComm1A19
I have seen so many stories in the news of college admissions/employers finding controversial tweets of prospective students/employees, so I am extremely careful about what I tweet/like/retweet. That's why I mostly just retweet puppy videos :) #SUComm1A19
I assumed that everyone would make their avatars what they aspired to look/be like, so I was surprised that Joel still chose to craft an avatar that faces the same exact physical challenges that he does in real life #SUComm1A19
I have found that as I gain more followers, likes, and comments, they begin to mean less. Receiving thoughtful comments and likes from individuals that you have a relationship with mean so much more than likes from strangers. #SUComm1A19
I think these findings open the door for thinking about AI therapy. However, after watching Ex Machina, I don't think I really want that to happen anytime soon. #SUComm1A19
My roommate told me that since she starting living with me & my teammates, her explore page has been full of volleyball posts. This could support personal engagement theory because she has interacted more with us, so the algorithm assumes she's interested in vb too #SUComm1A19
It would be interesting to compare Facebook self esteem rates to Instagram because of the difference in friends. On Facebook you both become friends, but on Instagram someone can follow you and you don’t have to follow them back #SUComm1A19
I found the idea of reciprocity very interesting. I have friends that always “hype” myself and other people up on insta/twitter. Then, when they accomplish something, I feel obligated to congratulate them on social media as well #SUComm1A19
What is the optimal amount of time to talk to someone online before meeting FtF? If you talk online for too long, due to hyper personal theory, you might idealize them, leading to a let down when you finally meet FtF #SUComm1A19
It's extremely interesting that CMC might lead to greater satisfaction amongst geographically separated partners. I wonder if there has been a significant increase in long distance relationships since communication forms such as FaceTime and snapchat have been created #SUComm1A19
Many people think that phones have made our communication abilities worse and removed the ability to express emotion, but the lack of cues might actually make us more capable of decoding social information #SUComm1A19
I never really believed the “fake it til you make it” saying but after reading this article, self-perception and belief may actually play a huge role #SUComm1A19
I use both a regular instagram account and a finsta (fake insta) in which I disclose very different information on each because of the different audiences. My regular account is mostly for social validation and my finsta is for self-expression #SUComm1A19
I think that Butler lies are detected less often as deceptive because of the truth bias. Accusing someone of lying about their phone being dead or just getting out of the shower could come off as crazy because they are very plausible occurrences. #SUComm1A19
Also, according to Dr. Patrick Young, in order to avoid phishing attacks, don't click on links in your email. Always type in the address you are trying to access #themoreyouknow#CS105#SUComm1A19
As editing on social media becomes more common and people know it is happening, is it considered deception anymore if it's the norm to edit and everyone assumes no one is as attractive/skinny as their profile appears? #SUComm1A19
As new communication forms are created (FaceTime, TikTok, etc), it is interesting to see how they affect people's communication styles in already existing forms as well (speaking, calling, texting).
