#LIDCS20_03 BTS are celebrities/ digital leaders because of their musical and philanthropic actions. They are successful social media users, socially conscious music producers, and partners for philanthropic campaigns (UNICEF Love Myself campaign) https://t.co/Ca5I1JpjFP
@jangelicaa21 Hi Angelica, I actually chose AOC as my digital leader for the twitter assignment we had a while ago so I definitely agree with your statement! AOC speaks directly to people‘s oppression/issues and communicates herself with empathy. She was once in those positions too.
@MaramFarag Hi Maram! I definitely agree! In my article, I also talked about how social media affects other fields, more specifically the political landscape. Nowadays presidential candidates have to have a marketing team that knows how to use social media like twitter and Facebook.
The article talks about Trump’s campaign manager Brad Parscale who says Facebook and Twitter won Trump his presidency. This reminds me of the ch.9 reading comparing Obama (charismatic crowd leader) and Trump (disorganized platform strongman). #LIDCS20_03 https://t.co/Kk3vLBVdh5
My core values are open-mindedness, ethics, and empathy. I think digital leaders can show these values by making decisions that include everyone’s thoughts and opinions but weigh an oppressed group’s feelings more heavily. #LIDCS20_03
@vmartinelli_ Vinnie, this was a great choice. I think Deray Mckesson is definitely a digital leader who takes an initiative. I think a good example would be how he tweeted at Bernie Sanders to talk about coming up with a second draft for his racial justice platform. #LIDCS20_03
@JavierS09596438 Javier, I agree! I think Greta Thunberg also is a digital leader who not only communicates her message clearly, but she also communicates her passion in a way that calls others to action. I think her use of twitter for climate change awareness is very effective. #LIDCS20_03
@rutgersval Hi Valentina, I also chose Bernie Sanders and I think you make a good point about his social media presence and how it is used for his campaign for the presidency. I also talked about this but compared it to news outlets and how they report his message. #LIDCS20_03
I think @BernieSanders is a digital leader. He has built a large following through social media and has taken control of reporting information from News outlets in his own way. His Facebook broadcasts could be compared to FDR’s fireside chats. #LIDCS20_03 https://t.co/8eccwo2a8s
I think about information differently in that I now know that our information can be sold to others. I have always been cautious about privacy settings but even so, it was interesting to see how much information I could find on sites in class! #DCIM152McCormick
@AlisonSchoen7 I agree with this prediction. I think hashtags have become essential for reaching larger audiences. I have international family that are aware of #MeToo I think the hashtags are seen more on twitter but they may be seen on other social media in the future as well! #DCIM353a
@Matheus01396375 I definitely agree with your point! I have already seen some of these changes start to happen. My little brother has already started using a computer for homework in elementary school and I only needed one when I started college here at Rutgers! #DCIM353a
@itskenapatel I think you make a great point! I have already heard of people who feel uncomfortable with others delivering food for many reasons so I think the drone can later become a successful alternative. #DCIM353a
A future prediction for the Smartphone is that it’ll be used as a tool in the workplace. Now, phones are usually prohibited but over time they’ve begun to appear in places we once thought unexpected. A couple years ago I wouldn’t have thought to use my phone for school! #DCIM353a
