It's true in the world we live in today many teens think that posting red solo cups online is okay and that they will never get caught or in trouble. When in reality posting red solo cups with people in it can cause a great deal of damage to peoples lives in the work force.

Relating this to Snapchat is very relatable. Most young adults have a snapchat, and with snapchat a a person can post a "story" that is shown to their friends on snapchat. Although snapchat may be secretive in a way when just sending photos that disappear within seconds, snapchat stories are public for everyone on his/her friends list to see.

No matter how a person creates their profile on a social media website, they are still not private. There is no privacy anywhere anymore. Whether or not I am private on Instagram, I'm really not because there is somehow a way to see my photos even if I am private, if it were necessary.

I find it funny the author says "hang out" when writing about social media. Usually when I hear the word hang out, I think of hanging out with my friends at her house watching a movie. It's interesting that social media is literally related to everything now.

When a certain event is going on, like a birthday, event or Holiday we use our phones to capture every minute of this event. It is how our world works now, which to me is a positive thing because I love taking photos of absolutely everything.

This reminds me of my high school, when an event was going on the kids were more interested in themselves and friends rather than what was going on. When the Homecoming Court was presented at my high school we really only cared about who the queen was not about the fun facts that were said about them.

Memes are a fantastic way for people to show the feelings and emotions toward a specific subject. Blog posts and memes do have a lot in common it just isn't obvious. Memes make something serious into something that the world can relate to.

In other countries besides America their culture is different relating to memes, Facebook, or Instagram. People from different cultures take different pictures, use different hashtags and also different memes.

Once a meme is showed to the world there is no taking it back. Also, it is a hit and miss with a meme. There are thousands and thousands of memes out in the world yet some make it viral and some are just on the internet. Memes show the internet a different side of social media, it is not just a plane picture yet it has text and states the point whether it be funny or serious.

There are many ways to incorporate a symbolic meaning/logos into something that is saying the same thing, but in a totally different way. How do people come up with such creative ideas?? For example, Google search creates different logos for different movements or corporations, and they are very creative.

The word Kairos symbolizes being somewhere at the perfect time. It is the supreme moment. I do think memes can have their "5 minutes of fame" but also last a long long time after this which is interesting.

This symbol is used in great ways but also in degrading ways, which is a shame. Why exactly is it just an equal sign to symbolize such a huge movement in the world? I've always wondered why the symbol isn't something more interesting like the the VW Car Symbol or Breast Cancer.

I think it is important to become bored when multitasking. A persons brain can only be focused for so long, it is hard to stay concentrated! I often times beat myself up for how bored I get when learning something, but then I remind myself it is normal and okay, and then I check social media and beat myself up even more. What did people do before social media???

It's true, I never stop and think oh who's that guy that invented the computer again? It rarely crosses my mind that 100 years ago, there were no computers. No one read a book online, they read hard-back books. It is crazy how the the internet has literally changed the world.

I don't remember the last time I was doing homework and didn't check Facebook or Instagram 30 minutes into my homework. It's sad, really how addictive social media sites are.

This happens all the time with learning about social media. When a teacher says create this account on this website, I go into panic. I think well that sounds impossible, learning something new on the internet. Yet this isn't true, learning something new on the internet, like learning how to create an account, is in no way hard we just think it is. We forget how user friendly the internet is.

It blows my mind realizing how powerful our lap tops are. I sometimes need to complete a task on my computer like creating a movie for school and I never have to worry about finding a place to create it because it is at my fingertips.

I often times think that teachers want to try new thinks for students to take notes, like using an online textbook but for me I can only learn with a pen and notebook in my hand. Although people are different and times are changing, I like the old fashioned way.

Someone can make a meme out of anything and everything, that is the coolest part about memes. A meme could range from a picture of a cloud to a funny picture of a dog. Memes have been created so that anyone can make something creative.

It is interesting to think how much thought goes into creating a tweet, meme, or Facebook post that goes viral even if it is on purpose or not. So much thought goes into what goes on social media sites, especially memes because it is a hit or miss if it is going to be liked or not, if its not people can really mess up their reputation.

When I read the words "spreadable model" and talking about memes I think of pictures on twitter that go viral. These memes just don'y say one specific thing, instead there are hundreds of different sayings on one specific meme.

If I were to put meme in this sentence instead of God it would make sense. We all look at memes differently and interpret them differently. No ones faith is the same, and no meme is the same as well.

This is a great comparison because the idea of God is known worldwide and is interpreted differently by every individual. Just like memes, people will interpret memes differently. People believe different things about God, just like memes. Although memes and God are two completely different subjects, they still have loads in common.

It is interesting how memes are being related to science. I usually just think of science as Bio and Chem, but now it is being related to memes and pictures on the internet. Almost anything can be related, I just would never guess science and memes!

No one wants to be responsible for their failure or someone else failure. Guilt is a terrible feeling, and taking on guilt for failing the human race, that would be the worst situation on the planet. Someone who is a genius using their brain, and genius using their feelings and positivity is the one who will/can take responsibility.

This reminds me of back then when women were not allowed to work or they were frowned upon if they had a job. I do believe that women can do just as much as men, but this statistic is mind blowing. I would think women would hold a higher percentage!

This is genuinely so sad to know that the internet and social media are turning into something people fear rather than something people admire. It is a scary thought that the internet is almost taking over the world in the social media aspect.

It's not right for us to just see what the internet thinks we want to see. Seeing the nasty world is something we need to know about and should not be hidden from it. Knowing about the bad world and what crisis or movements that are going on is something that needs to be known to us.

Now when we search on the internet we do not get to decide what we want to see. We have to depend on the internet to create what it thinks we need to see, it's out our range of control. If we need information about a specific topic we have to depend on the search engine and hope it comes up.

This is very terrifying. Now we have to watch out what we search on the internet and if we are getting the results we actually are looking for. We are controlled on the internet worse than ever.

Nowadays, anyone can take a picture of anything and make it look good. An amateurs photo can actually be better in the sense that "it tells a better story" rather than a professional.

The tools create a world for us to share our thoughts and ideas on the web. These tools, like sharing on Facebook allow us to show people what/ who were interested in. We should be thanking the tools.

I often times think about huge companies like Coke, Google, or Microsoft and think about how much energy is invested into these huge companies. The attention that companies like these draw in, draw us in because they know how to attract people. They are smart

The question is asked, does it exist or does it not (pictures or videos posted on social media sites)? I never realized how much research and digging went into figuring out if what a person posted on a site is real or not; I simply always wondered. Nolan does a great job in showing that he has used google maps and free internet tools to search if something that is posted it true or not.

There are softwares and programs that people can use to alternate and change the way people see a video or picture. Users of social media, like me, constantly question if the picture/video is real or not. We no longer live in a world where we can trust another user. Nolan says that clients worry if a video or picture is which which is sad because it shows that no one can trust anyone on the web any longer.

As a social media user, we have an impulse to post what we are doing, when we are doing it, and who we are with. Social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram create more pictures and posts for the world to see every second of the day. This is a positive aspect about technology because it opens up the world for people to see when we are thousands of miles away from other people, we have the opportunity to learn and see things outside our everyday life.

Nowadays everyone always has their heads down looking at their cell phone. We are constantly looking for an updated news feed on social media sites. The author is right when he says students try to pay attention but have various other influences streaming through our heads. It is sad because it is what our society has turned into; constantly wondering what Kim Kardashian will post next. My generation has made social media (twitter, instagram) more important than learning in the classroom.

Multitasking is rarely ever a good idea. Rather, getting one task done at a time and then moving on to another is a better idea. The author makes a great point when saying that people think multi-tasking will get things done quicker, but that isn't true. I think multi-tasking slows a person down and creates procrastination.

I totally agree that attention is a main driving force for people. Attention is what makes a person do what they have to do every day. For example going to school or work requires a person to stay focused and be attentive. When we loose out attention, we loose our drive and focus from what is important.
