That is it for my gen ed assignment, goodbye twitter

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@temi_ojo @ShelbyBryant712 @raquel_marieeee Lowkey feeling like robots will kill us by then #comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@all_jster This seems very likely! #comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

I don't think wearable technology becoming implants in the body is realistic. It seems too intrusive and permanent. #comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@temi_ojo I think that authors using 'high speed' and 'broadband' are confusing words to put into statements about human rights. Having lightening fast internet is definitely a reach from what i'd consider a human right. But having dial up is a real problem for equal opportunity #comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@cvong480 I think it is so much less of a problem for older generations because they lived without it for so long. #comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

We should be subsidizing internet fees for low income families, kids do not get an equal opportunity in the 21st century without internet at home. It is going to be a lot more expensive to develop the infrastructure for rural areas, but that is necessary too. #comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

Perhaps environments designed JUST for learning/educational based interacting, would be the best option up to age 17-18. They can go on the regular social media sites on their own time (and they will). #comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@tjoze719 Maybe a education-oriented social media site for kids, so they can use that to interact with classmates/teachers for learning--but not have some of the other features. #comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@ShelbyBryant712 Me as well (before one class prior to this one)! I now think it would be useful for other classes though. It is a great tool for sharing concise thoughts. #comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@temi_ojo True! I imagine VR takes a long time to create, not practical for stories that need attention right away. #comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@kizyk938 True! It would be difficult to communicate certain situations any other way. Like the solitary confinement @kbenn418 mentioned #Comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

VR journalism can attract people who otherwise wouldn't have been interested in a story. #COMM1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

I prefer audiobooks over reading, including textbooks. When unavailable, I go with whatever is cheapest. Ebooks hurt my eyes tho #COMM1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@all_jster True! We expect quick reads and summaries to give us all the info we need, it hurts our ability to read long-form anything. #COMM1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@DBenoitharris Agreed! I spend enough time staring at screens for other reasons, the eyes and body need a break wherever they can get it. #COMM1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@all_jster True. Ppl should fact check + have healthy amounts of skepticism with everything they read/watch, rather than believing in labels #Comm1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@kizyk938 Agreed! They are playing such an important role in society. We should do everything we can to fight back against their abusers #COMM1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

Trump calling negative news about him 'fake' will cause some supporters to doubt future (real) news... dangerous to democracy #COMM1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@raquel_marieeee Devils advocate: There are tons of creative ways to get paid from their talents. Would you buy an album before hearing the artist? #COMM1720

[Russ @rtayl6001]

@ShelbyBryant712 I don't think Drake is crying in his Bugatti because his first album was put out during the pirating days before Apple Music lol. #COMM1720
