@BradenLittle13 I think back to the material we learned about in class with data mining. We have a general idea about it sometimes but this documentary amplified that idea of the lack of privacy. #eme4390s22

@TumasSabaliaus I agree! "The Social Dilemma" definitely opened up my eyes to be more cautious with how I use social media and technology in general

[Rayna Philip @PhilipRayna]

@sunny_lu95 @SocialDilemma_ @netflix Yes I agree! "The Social Dilemma" definitely shed a light on how naive we can be with technology #eme4390s22

@AlisaK04014860 Seeing their enactment of how the algorithm is controlled was such a good example of this. It was insane to see how much goes into monitoring us on technology #eme4390s22

[Rayna Philip @PhilipRayna]

Overall, "The Social Dilemma" shed a great light on the impact of technology in society. Sometimes we are so consumed with the things we like about social media that we do not even stop to consider the negative components #eme4390s22 @SocialDilemma_

"How do you wake up from the matrix when you don't know you're in the matrix?" This is really emphasizing the illusion that technology brings #eme4390s22

[Rayna Philip @PhilipRayna]

Watching how they control the algorithm to continue to get engagement is a little terrifying #eme4390s22

"Social media is a drug" with its potential for addiction @SocialDilemma_ #eme4390s22

[Rayna Philip @PhilipRayna]

As a psychology major, it is really interesting and crazy to learn from "The Social Dilemma" about the psychology that goes into technology #eme4390s22

[Rayna Philip @PhilipRayna]

I think we all have some sort of awareness that technology is monitoring us. But really hearing all of the information that they have about us is absolutely crazy. #eme4390s22

How exactly are these big tech companies making money? "If you're not paying for the product, then you are the product." This is a scary statement to take in. #eme4390s22

"Nothing vast enters the life of mortals without a curse." -Sophocles This is setting the tone for "The Social Dilemma" #eme4390s22

I am about to watch The Social Dilemma on Netflix! @SocialDilemma_ #eme4390s22

“It’s not right to have consumers kept in the dark about how their data is sold and shared and then leave them unable to do anything about it.”

It is scary to hear about Lisa Magrin’s story being tracked through an app on her phone. It is extremely intrusive.

There was a phrase I found interesting in “Guest: Are apps becoming a human crutch?” in The Seattle Times by Howard Gardner and Katie David. This is “app-dependence where people have come to overly rely on apps for their recommendations. #eme4390s22

[Rayna Philip @PhilipRayna]

In the article “Guest: Are apps becoming a human crutch?” in The Seattle Times by Howard Gardner and Katie David, they discuss the influence of apps. They have become powerful to the point where we have become dependent on them. #eme4390s22
