I will strive to support net neutrality to allow everyone to access all parts of the internet equally, and to prevent ISPs from favoring some organizations' internet traffic over another. #rheadd
@venkat_d98 I think that in a way, they can be referred to as human rights. Patent laws revolve around intellectual property, and it is quite tedious to get a patent approved. This provides protection around any ideas or inventions that one may have. #rheadd
It is curious to observe that Žižek talks about the "absurd situation in which a private individual.... network of communication (p. 429), referring to if Bill Gates had a monopoly. There are several companies that are almost monoplies today, one of them being Microsoft. #rheadd
Žižek talks about people's attitudes on p.445, and how it is "difficult to really accept that that the flow of everyday reality can be perturbed." In terms of global warming, do you think more people today understand that our reality, in fact, can be altered drastically? #rheadd
@RHEshreyas You could rewrite this to reflect your life experience using martyria by saying, "I have visited underprivileged communities throughout my life, and I saw how privileged I was to have an education, when many others didn't have the resources for it." #rheadd
@Shelby52840404 I think you did a good job in your Twitter thread, and I liked how you talked about personalized advertisements and the modes of persuasion. I think it would be good to draw from your real-life examples more to make for a stronger paper. #rheadd
@UTMeredithH This is a great example of martyria, and you could further elaborate on each aspect, and mention if other people your age had the same experience. #rheadd
@UTMeredithH I think your Twitter thread is very clear and concise. It heavily puts emphasis on how demographics influence the digital divide. I would suggest adding context from an article we read from this semester to further strengthen your final paper. #rheadd
@ben_roberts_4 It would be nice if you stated how prevalent this is all around us in today's society, and you could use appositio to describe it. #rheadd
@ben_roberts_4 Your Twitter thread was very good, and I really liked how you talked about the modes of persuasion we covered in class. I think it would be good to reference something from one of the articles that we read this semester to further relate to the class. #rheadd
@venkat_d98 Since you are comparing two things, you could use the rhetoric figure of comparatio as well, while elaborating a little more on the details between the two. #rheadd
@venkat_d98 I think you did a good job talking about your own personal experiences throughout the thread. It would be helpful to incorporate some of the key topics we discussed in class into your paper, such as net neutrality and AI, for example. #rheadd
@RHEshreyas I think your Twitter thread is very fluid and I like how you use more than one example of how being a CS major affects your outlook. I would add maybe some information on advertisements in your final paper, since we covered that pretty thoroughly. #rheadd
@RHEvicc This can also be a great use of martyria, because you are referring to your own experience. You could further elaborate on the example of having a personal computer and maybe compare yourself to classmates, friends, etc. #rheadd
@RHEvicc I thought you did a great job in providing cohesive statements and covering everything that we've learned. I really liked how you referred to the Schiappa article in relation to filter bubbles. I think it would be helpful to include more personal examples in your paper. #rheadd
