life as well resulting in a fake interaction and a meaningless relationship.
Hi Taylor,
I feel like this last post went back towards the first question in the responses and you lacked a bit of explanation on how online environments have/don't have the potential of developing close relationships. I can tell you have good points but giving some more examples and explanations would've been really helpful!
There are people who use their platform to express beliefs that normally aren’t brought up in a conversation, I believe that these types of posts foster real life conversations that force both parties to open up.
Hi Taylor,
I really liked this twist to this question because it's the mix of how people use social media to express the things they wish they had the confidence to do in person, but also how this allows individuals to create the conversation that needs to be address and confronted.
However, I wish you would've played off this idea a bit more and provided some real examples that you've seen. It's a good point and observation, but giving a situation that this (even hypothetical) happens could provide a greater insight for your audience.
Sure, you can post something and you may lose followers which can seem like rejection, but it’s not the same as letting someone truly know you.
Hi Taylor,
This was the perfect last sentence to simplfy what you were trying to say! Being vulnerable is key in those face to face intimacy moments, and losing followers can hurt your ego, but nothing hurts more than the confrontation of someone that you truly know turning you down.
A “conversation” on social media can be premeditated and the fear of vulnerability is masked by the fact that you aren’t face to face with someone.
Hi Taylor,
I couldn't agree more about this statement! I think we've all messaged or commented on something through social media that was thought out and properly punctuated in all the best ways before it was sent out. This also feeds into the idea that we aren't present our real identities either because lets face it, half the time there are more ways we could polity dispute someones comment. Or even on the flip side, say how we feel on a deeper level but we cut it back because were afraid of being vulnerable, and taking the time to think through it for a couple minutes is way easier virtually than it is when you're standing right in front of someone.
truly attainable through face to face conversations where you can’t hide your flaws, because how well do you really know a person if you can’t see the good and the ugly?
Hi Taylor,
I defiantly agree that face to face conversation where you can see the good and the bad are helpful! However, I defiantly know some accounts on social media that show EVERYthing, good, bad, ugly, and crazy parts about their lives. This can help to break the ground sometimes in order to get more comfortable with those deep face to face conversations that might be hard to get to otherwise.
I believe that most relationships formed online are not meaningful because they aren’t a genuine representation of either person involved.
Hi Taylor,
I do agree with this point about how online connections aren't meaningful because 9/10 they aren't representing their true self, however I don't think this is always the case with all people and I think majority of the time it's more of a one-way street with people lying about their lives through social media. This of course, isn't always the case but I don't think it's always both people involved misrepresenting their lives.
"the best way to help students understand and appreciate information as valuable property is to make them property owners."
Hi Allie, I also really liked this point that Schultz-Jones said because I find it to be extremely relatable. Prior to owning or being in charge of my own property, I wasn't as appreciative of the things I used. Looking back, I was messy and didn't really care about my mothers car, but now that I own my own car, I don't leave trash in it, I regularly check on it and make sure that it's in good shape because I value it more. I believe this is the same concept that Schultz-Jones is trying to show.
by detailing the challenges of verifying the reliability, and the importance of doing so in the interest of respecting intellectual property, and explaining how students must protect their information out of respect for privacy.
Hi Allie, I agree with the points you are making and pulling from this article. However, I would still like to here some of your personal examples of what is being said and provided some of your own opinions about what Schultz-Jones is saying.
"a little over 24 hours and costs about $1000"
Hi Allie, you don't need to have the quotation marks around the quote when citing with APA formmatting.
I'm interested in learning more about Floridi's role at Google, which is described as "looking at who's in control of what data and what they intend to do with it, especially personal data." (Dean). With as much influence over our very sense of selves, It's daunting to consider that the influence could be motivated by a for-profit corporation.
Hi Allie, you are making some really good points from the article but it would be great to see some of your own personal reactions and comments about the points that you are pulling in from the articles.
We're consciously creating an online presence that may be different from our real-world personality, and we're being influenced by the gadgets we use every day.
Hi Allie, this is an extremely valid point and seemed to be one of the major points that Floridi had to share in his research. I think you could've emphasized and spoken off of this point more to help promote the idea of it.
reference. (Dean)
Hi Allie, this is just a grammar correction but you should've said "reference (Dean, 2015)." instead of "reference. (Dean)."
I sometimes think about the fact that if my credit card number is compromised, I can quickly get a new number and go on with my life. If my biometric information is somehow compromised, I cannot ever rescind it.
Hi Allie, I really liked this example! It makes for a simple explanation and comparison. You lose your credit card and you can do something about it immediately, but you lose your biometric print and you can't do anything about it, it's just that simple.
Shaw's article on the "new" field of data science is six years old and I'd like to learn more about how some of the ethical questions are being considered as technology progresses.
Hi Allie, I thought this was a good thought but could maybe use a better wording, such as; Shaw's out dated article on the "new" field of data science provides valid points, however it would be interesting to compare it to current ethical questions.
(Shaw)
Hi Allie, when you make the in text citations you should always add the year of the publication. For example, this should look like (Shaw, 2014) instead of just (Shaw).
Data has gotten cheaper to store and process --
Hi Allie, on the writing side of editing, I would maybe avoid saying "gotten" while writing and there is no need for "--" in your post.
The term "big data" is exactly what it sounds like: it's a lot of data.
Hi Allie, I thought this was a good simple way to explain "big data." I know what it is, but to someone who is just learning about it this is a good simple way of saying it since it sounds like it should be more complex than it is.
