One of my takeaways from this course is the different types of impact that technology and social media can have on society whether it is educational or negatively disruptive #DigiTechF21A
@sunnypa92321881 Hi Sunny! I completely agree, having a group of friends to motivate you and hang out with and share the Rutgers experience with can be lots of fun and can probably reduce stress levels, which in turn will be helpful to enjoy the college experience and succeed at Rutgers.
@ashley_hubscher Hi Ashley, I completely agree! If you can't find a place to focus and complete your work in, then that would make it so hard to succeed at Rutgers or any university for that matter. I will say that when you find a group of people in class, that can also be a fun way to study!
@nicktorres1999 Hi Nick, I agree that it is extremely crucial to learn the Rutgers bus system! Even as a commuter, I always find myself using the Rutgers buses every once and a while.
One of my best tips to thrive & find success at Rutgers would be to make sure to reach out to your professors if you need help or if you are struggling in a course. In my experience, professors will always try to accommodate you to the best of their ability #DigiTechF21A#TXC21
@XINYIQI7 Hi Xinyi! I agree, the Scarlet Knight does capture the essence of Rutgers and displays the values and story that Rutgers upholds. Amazing photo by the way!
@nunez_mondo Hi Jordan! I agree with you that the Alexander Library does capture the essence of Rutgers! To add on to what you said, I think the Alexander Library also exudes and tells the history of Rutgers.
@sunnypa92321881 Hi Sunny, I agree that Rutgers buses definitely capture the essence of Rutgers! Whenever someone is applying or is starting at Rutgers, I feel like one of the first things that is mentioned and discussed are the Rutgers buses.
This is a photo of the Yard on the College Ave Campus, I feel like this captures the essence of Rutgers, because I see the yard as a place to make connections, learn, and have fun!#DigiTechF21A#TXC21
@chaosteven0 Hi Steven! I think we're doing a similar topic, I'm happy to know someone is just as interested in the different uses that Virtual Reality has in today's age!
@Christi01528420 Hi Christian,
Your project idea is great! I would be so intrigued to know the differences of the algorithms used for each social media platform.
@SageS444 Hi Sage, I think that this project topic is really interesting! I'm really curious to see what Tiktok's algorithm is like and how it boosts certain users over others.
For my EDTP I plan on writing about VR. I want to write about it's popularity & how it's improved so many people's lives and/or professions. I want to write on it because I'm familiar with it & I find it fascinating on how diverse & inclusive it is as a technology. #DigiTechF21A
A social norm that I believe has changed in the modern digital age, is dating. In an article from PyschAlive, it states how technology has changed the dating game. Instead of going on blind dates, people rely on dating apps, so they don't waste their time. #DCIMDigiTechF21A
@RU_hsm I completely agree with you, it is hard to know what is true or false online and who is showing their true identity/personality and who is not. We never really know unless we personally know that person or are close to them.
@Cjs_137 I agree, most people try to avoid face to face interactions because they feel as though it is easier to open up to someone and be more vulnerable through texting. Even though, face to face interaction is the best way to communicate with someone.
