Group 2 Wednesday- I am curious to see where they found their article from, and I am also wondering if the article they used is in favor of Trump or anti-trump? ... #RHUB100

to believe other things than acknowledging the real good purpose that the organization stands for. #RHUB100

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

In response to the BLM presentation, I would like to add that the article they used was a great example of how fake news is present towards the BLM movement as well as many organizations nowadays. This kind of fake news negatively impacts the real goal of BLM by misleading people

a continuous spread of false news. #RHUB100

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

Bhattarai's article "You won't believe how these 9 shocking clickbaits work" analyzes how certain social media sites and articles online use clickbait on false news to attract readers. This technique is very smart however it is taking over social media and causing...

@_BrandonNunez It does date back to a long time ago in history. We are definitely not the first "wave" of the spread of fake news. It has always been surrounding us even back in historical times. Although, I feel as the more time is going on the more common and dramatic it is getting. #RHUB100

claims about how American's believing in conspiracy theories are running from the truth by spreading propaganda which is causing America to go "haywire". #RHUB100

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

The academic journal, "The Journal of Political Philosophy" extends on most of Kurt Andersen's claims in his article, "How America Went Haywire". The journal states that some theories may be harmful and are a subset of the larger category to false beliefs. This extends Andersen's

@edbarragan0310 I feel very similarly. I believe in my own realities and theories as a way to think and look at certain things in a deeper way. I find it interesting to challenge the "facts" and information that has always been told/taught to us by certain people. #RHUB100

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

In his article, "How America Went Haywire", Andersen has a strong use of anecdotes to show how Americans have changed their ideas of thinking specifically about our culture as a whole. Although, he claims that Americans can believe whatever they want, as this should be. #RHUB100

@emilyhosdsu I agree with you, the internet makes harder for us to focus and pay attention while reading, doing homework, etc. He uses research from powerful universities adding to the credibility of his argument that the internet is, in fact, causing harm to our intellectual skills. #RHUB100

In his article, "Is Google Making Us Stupid", Carr argues how the Internet is lowering our intelligence and making it harder to expand our minds and think to the fullest. He supports this by using research from universities and anecdotes. His audience is a younger generation.

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

@LegendFoster7 I agree with this. Anderson argues that millennials do not have the ability to understand and create the concept of "change". However, his negative tone and ignorance present throughout his piece doesn't appeal to many audiences but those from his own generation. #RHUB100

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

In the article, "You Say You Want a Devolution" Anderson presents his argument assuming a negative tone throughout his speech. I personally do not agree with his argument that the past is "repeating itself", and I believe he loses his credibility by using his own biased opinions.

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

@kelseyeflanagan I agree with you, I also enjoy how Thompson includes a positive and emotional tone as well as positive diction throughout his book. It does create an optimistic and interesting emotional tone that he needs for his audience of technology skeptics. #RHUB100

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

Thompson appeals to logos through his writings on page 53 of "Public Thinking". He uses a logical and provocative tone to intrigue the reader and encourage inner thought. He writes in this tone to explain how writers begin to TRULY write as they are in the act of writing.#RHUB100

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

@Adarling66 I somewhat agree, however in Hill's case it is necessary to have his cellphone. Although, some people in society today just use it as a tool to waste time and play games, the idea can't be generalized to society as a whole- because there are people who do depend upon it #RHUB100

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

[Julie Nelson @Julienelson630]

Brody argues in "Hooked on Our Smartphones" that the convenience and assistance provided by smartphones is unprecedented. This strengthens Hill's point that surviving without his cellphone would be nearly impossible given the fact that he uses his smartphone for many basic needs.
