Technology is good?

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

Do you find other peoples laptops distracting in class or is it just your own you are worried about? I don't find myself distracted by others use of technology in class, as long as I use mine appropriately I find the use of technology useful in class

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

When was the last time you saw something on social media that you fully believed until a few days later when you found out it was false?

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

How can we do a better job at monitoring and stopping hate speech to spread on social media platforms? Do we need laws and legislations? Should the government intervene or is it the duty of the companies who own the platforms?

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

Do you think pressure from social media led to Disney being more diverse and inclusive in their characters or do you think that was a natural progression for the company?

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

Do you think social media has brought us closer together or created a larger divide? I think the case can be argued for both. While we can meet and connect with others we never once could've dreamed of, we now also have people hating and posting hurtful things with no protection

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

Do you think social media platforms should have time limits on usage for a day? I know it probably would negatively affect the owning company, but for the user it could be useful as they'd need to get off their devices and do something else

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

What was your opinion on the Twitter and Instagram warning on posts that may contain misinformation? Do you think it was successful in its goals or was it overused?

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

Does anyone else prefer reading hard copies than online texts? It's just more satisfying and easier to remember when I have to turn a page and it's not all presented on one long page that I have to scroll on

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

Do you believe there is an over saturation of social media platforms? I don't think we need as many as that that exist. More are still on their way and being developed but for what purpose?

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

How do you feel about sites tracking your searches and info to target ads directly to you? Do you think they do it too much? I don't mind it, it can be helpful sometimes, but I think they show me ads too much

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

What's your opinion on technology advancing to the point actors and celebrities are selling their likeness for Disney to use once they die? while it can be cool, I do think it's a little weird, and why not just find new up and coming actors?

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

How could websites and social media platforms make you feel more safe and secure in storing your private information?

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

Personally some of my favourite companies/organizations on social media are Wendy's and Buffalo Bills. They make jokes and follow current meme formats, they aren't the most professional and know what social media is for. I think more companies should pursue this as it gets views

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

Do you think more companies should use social media to their advantage? What would you want to hear from them?

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

what's your favourite social media platform and why? Personally, I like instagram the best as I get to see posts from my friends but I can also stay up to date on news and stories, specifically in the sports world

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

Do you feel safe online? Have you ever felt worried your account is at risk or someone is trying to scam you? I feel these sites warning emails of login attempts are very useful, this account sent me a warning just last week which made me reset my passwords

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

How do you feel about young kids with smartphones? When we were younger we maybe had flip phones, but now I feel kids are too addicted to these phones and have access to social media and the internet way too young

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

While I like the idea of online asynchronous classes, every time I take them I feel less motivated to do them. Do you guys feel similarly? When in person I feel I pay more attention and try harder? Should we implement more or less online courses?

[William Ashley @W_ashley_]

How did you guys find the work load in this course? Was there too little? Too much? Was it challenging enough? I think we had a good amount of work and the assignments were a fair level of difficulty while still exemplifying what we learned in class
