@amorinelli54 This is such a valid point. I’ve had to unfollow numerous people because every time they posted, I compared myself to them and my life to what they portrayed. It was unhealthy and the only way I knew how to stop was remove them from my feed. #comodu

I created my first social media account in 2009. According to The Wave Social Media Map, during that year the U.S. had “high internet penetration and high social media adoption”. What year did you first get on social media? #comodu

Watching “The social network” made me want to learn more about the history of social media sites, who created them, and what the creators initial intentions for use of the site was and how it’s evolved since it’s launch. #comodu

I started reading “The Circle” by Dave Eggers and couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. It seemed to describe this utopia where ease and convenience were top priority but at what cost? Hopefully, The Circle is not a representation of what is to come in America. #comodu

Hacktivism is the use of technology to promote a political agenda or social change. Is their work worth turning a blind eye on the legal and moral side of things? Even if their message is good, I believe we have to weigh and keep in mind at what cost? #comodu
