@mhuxh I agree! Personal relationships could be affected as well if people start using technology more than interacting with one another. #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

I personally don’t love the idea of “wearables” that seems like a huge invasion of privacy. #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@ChloeMacEachern Yeah, it’s terrifying to think about, nothing would be private anymore.. #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@ChloeMacEachern I absolutely agree! It’s important to have moderation and be aware of how much time we are using on social media, and what we’re using it for! #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@mrosee_rose I agree, because if some people weren’t on board it would negatively affect their education #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

Social media can definitely disrupt a students understanding of a subject when flashy things about something they’re more interested in come up. #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

I don’t think many stories should be told in VR, due to the ethics surrounding certain stories and it would just be unnecessary for others. #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@ChloeMacEachern It could be the next big thing but does that mean it should be? #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@mrosee_rose I agree, VR could very well be crossing a line that may not be necessary #COMM1720

Reading a book and finally finishing it after watching yourself progress is so satisfying, a satisfaction that is missing with an ebook. #Comm1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@ChloeMacEachern I completely agree! Books have a quality about them that feel safe and wholesome! Ebooks don’t have that same feeling! #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@LaurynHeintz I totally agree, it’s really satisfying to go in and pick up a book to flip through! #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

I am not terribly concerned about my privacy when I'm online and using social media because I have control over what I post online and what information gets shared about me #Comm1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@ChloeMacEachern Absolutely, people who you don’t know can see those things and make judgements about your character! If you post things that are true to you that you’re okay with the general public knowing then it doesn’t matter much! #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@LaurynHeintz So true, if you don’t want people knowing about something don’t post about it online - online information is public knowledge! #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@ChloeMacEachern I totally agree! People are so set in their ways and opinions that they don’t like hearing information that doesn’t support their view! #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@LaurynHeintz Absolutely, employers have a responsibility to keep their employees safe and make sure they feel that way! #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

I think journalists are targeted with hatred in this digital age because they are not directly in front of you. They have the opportunity to write whatever they want from the safety of their screen, without facing actual repercussions on the spot. #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

A survey taken at MRU in a COMM 1720 class revealed that Instagram is the most commonly preferred social media platform. How many people use their cellphones to access these platforms? #COMM1720

[Kirsten Phillips @kphil003]

@ChloeMacEachern I think that’s definitely true, they rely on guilting a lot of people into not doing it! #COMM1720
