Advice I would give to future students of this course would be to really take the time to actively read/view each reading/video content assigned. They provide new viewpoints on tech history, how race/gender affects digital media, and society's interaction with tech #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

In order to keep up with this class's content and be able to participate in discussion, I had to always make sure I was being an active listener and taking notes when viewing assigned videos in and out of class as well as closely reading the chapter texts/articles #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

This class's reading/video content helped me learn to analyze and reflect on both my relationship to technology as well as how we as a society interact with the digital media space. The course content was also very eye opening in terms of revealing problems in media #shucobf2252

@daisydallasart Racial/class biases drive social dynamics within all countries sadly. Learned racist/sexist mentalities people pick up, developments of micro/macro aggressions from misrepresentation, and racist speakers/media outlets promote societal racial separation/discourse #shucobf2252

"For Nextdoor, Eliminating Racism Is No Quick Fix" details racial profiling on app "Nextdoor" where locals make one another aware of safety in their area. Are there technical ways to eliminate this bias or is this only a racist mentality problem that needs fixing? #shucobf2252

Allen's Chapter "Race Matters" explores the topic of racial biases and how race negatively influences society. I deeply agree with Allen's explanation as to how sadly ironic it is that race (social construct) divides us as a people,yet we're all the same biologically #shucobf2252

@daisydallasart Some practical steps we can take is look at content that's out of the norm for our usual feed. For example, if you usually have world news coming up on your feed, try to also view more entertainment content and vice versa. Also look at more positive content #shucobf2252

"The Year I Didn't Retweet Men" delves into the role gender plays in the spread of info on social media/the differing average levels of positive thoughts and responses on twitter. Based on the article content, why do you think the experiment resulted the way it did? #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

"Why Women Aren't Welcome On The Internet" details many cases of sexual harassment/threats the author received from users angry at her content. The extreme levels of harassment women experience online with no repercussion is unacceptable + has to be changed/regulated #shucobf2252

@brando5010 Gender stereotypes are still desired to be enforced as we unfortunately remain a patriarchal male dominant society functioning off of sexism justification daily. Gender stereotypes were always seen as wrong;like racism. Still, society benefits off these perpetuations #shucobf2252

Based on Brenda Allen's Chapter 3 "Gender Matters," in what ways do you think gender affected this past election results as well as the ways in which the patriarchal societal structures within the U.S. affected how the female candidate was criticized? #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

Allen's Ch 3 powerfully addresses how early U.S. research/writings are used to justify sexism/dehumanization of those who identify as female. Modern laws/patriarchal societal structures unjustly aim to continue gender mistreatment on a daily basis & in the workplace #shucobf2252

@daisydallasart Technological advancements give more opportunities for political information to reach the public. Younger ages are very present on internet platforms, so technological advancements also help make sure the newer generations are being reached #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

Based on the content in the "Gatekeeping, Filtering, and Infrastructure" section of Hindman's chapter 1, what does political gatekeeping look like on internet platforms? What are some examples of this? #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

In Hindman's chapter 1 "The Internet and the 'Democratization' of politics," he explains how the internet empowered the public. He suggests the internet became an overarching platform that gave the everyday person a voice to speak on topics like politics and news #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

@brando5010 More freedom in this way do have the potential to equate to better conversations. In terms of freedom of speech, hate speech isn't included/shouldn't be tolerated. The internet, unfortunately, has a lot of this. Internet freedoms can be used positively & negatively #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

In section "Commercialism, Journalism, and political inertness," Benkler's argues internet & mass media usage often limit chances for good political discourse due to strong opinions, arguments, & the public's content preferences on the platforms they use and or view #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

In Benkler's Chapter 6, I learned about Herbert Hoover's push to regulate 1920s radio in the first radio conference he orchestrated. This set the president for how politics and radio mixed from then on were proposed. What were some of the influential policies made? #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

Based on the content in the YouTube video "The Digital Era Of Music," what current events in the past and present have also affected the way we consume music digitally? #shucobf2252

[Khari Greene (SHUCOBF2252) @khari_student]

@daisydallasart Technology is utilized by politics in how the internet, for example, is a hub for info. Political campaigns are fueled by technology both online and offline. Information on news stories and current events are also available due to technology, which affect politics #shucobf2252
