I think it's crazy being able to search people up with their phone numbers and that it's required to make an account with a phone number. This reminds me of the school directory and how a couple people have found my number through there, texting me, even though I have never given them my phone number myself. People can have malicious intent, so knowing this, it makes me wary.

Personally, I feel like I get people who no longer are a part of my life recommended to me the most. I think it's funny, but also sometimes a reminder that I don't want to have. I think that while it can do good in the sense it connects you with people who share many mutuals as you, it can also bring harm depending on who is recommended. It's interesting how those recommendations are made.

I have a friend who is colorblind and I remember in our junior year of high school we had to write notes and then make doodles to help us better learn, but one key component of the assignment was coloring. We had to color the whole book of notes and my friend who was color blind was not excused from this assignment and he had to look at each color pencil to see what color it was. I think it is unfair that those with disabilities need to adjust to situations where they have a disadvantage compared to others.

I think this is unfortunate to hear and I think it's important to make learning settings and devices accessible for all students and should be well thought out so that everyone can be included instead of students having to hide their disability because of the lack of inclusive design.

This article explains that while private messages are supposed to only be seen by the sender and receiver, social media apps share that data to the company. "Private" means hidden from others, not the platform. I realized that I am way too trusting of sending messages thinking they are private, even when they are not fully private.

This makes me think about how my TikTok For You page is very catered towards what I'm interested in, even before I give them too much data, or how ads show up curated to what I may want to purchase. Even though I never directly shared this information, it's interesting how it is still considered my information.

I've never heard of r/antiwork before looking at this bibliography. It seems like a place where many people are posting their negative feelings surrounding work and the workplace. It's very interesting how it started out as a thread of people not wanting to work at all, but is now complaining more of their work conditions. It's very relatable in some aspects and I see why people post on this thread.

While AI can often be used for purposes such as drafting emails or polishing writing, it can also make writing much more bland and feel fake. While it may seem like "perfect" writing, because it is too polished, it may feel insincere if overdone.

Trolling seems to differ on who gets to tell the story rather than just the act of trolling itself. On social media, does the creator get to decide whether something is harmful, the audience, or someone else?

It's funny and interesting how people spend time to draft these long troll reviews. My favorite was the "Saved my marriage" review. These reviews seem very light-hearted, positive, but sarcastic as well. This shows how trolling isn't always harmful, but can also be a positive experience.

This trailer showed the significance and contribution of Mark Zuckerberg and those around him, in the creation of social media. It shows the greed between the original founders and how with social media, everything is available to view to the public. It shows a glimpse into how Facebook was created and how people used it to communicate.

I thought this was extremely interesting because I've always seen graffiti as an art or a mark that people leave. I never knew it was used to communicate, share updates, or spread rumors. Now when I look at graffiti, I will try to analyze if it is one of those options or if it was meant to be a form of art.

This is very interesting because how can happiness be measured? Doesn't everyone have a different definition of happiness? How is overall pleasure over overall pain and suffering measured as a whole?

This person has posted a concern that their last name is too long because they aren't able to include their full name in the system because of an existing character limit. This must be frustrating because everyone has different length names and some names are longer than others. This reminds me of when in high school, my classmates would complain about their long names when we would have an exam that used a scantron. It seems as if they are identified by their name until the character limit along with something else, such as their social security number.

As a child of Korean immigrants, I see these values in my own family. My mom cared for her mother-in-law, my grandma, in our home for years, even after she became ill. That kind of care is something I look up to and admire. At the same time, I believe that while it is important to respect your elders, I'm against the belief that if someone is older than you, it always makes them right. Respect and agreeing with someone all the time aren't the same thing.

This website is a site where you can buy followers on a variety of social media accounts. This is interesting because it can essentially buy you fame, but also in a sense credibility because nowadays many people look at follower count when determining whether to trust the user or not. The site states that they "sell social media signals from real people". The intention behind this is so that it is harder for the creators audience to determine whether one has bought their followers or not.

I dislike call bots. I specifically dislike it when I'm calling for help and it first goes through a bot. An example of this is some leasing offices. When contacting customer support, nowadays, it is very common that a bot picks up. They ask you what you're calling for and then many times, they can't understand you initially which leads to you having to repeat yourself over and over again. This makes me frustrated and even so, depending on your question, sometimes they will just tell you to look for the answers on their online website and it is very hard to reach an actual human worker even if by your judgement, the question needs to be answered by a live person.
