    1. Color blindness. December 2023. Page Version ID: 1188749829. URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Color_blindness&oldid=1188749829 (visited on 2023-12-07).

      This source grabs my attention simply because of how common it is in society, especially amongst men. I feel like the general idea of color blindness is so interestingly perceived but also having it holds back from many careers in life. This disability most commonly defines men.

    1. Which abilities are expected of people, and therefore what things are considered disabilities, are socially defined [j1]. Different societies and groups of people make different assumptions about what people can do, and so what is considered a disability in one group, might just be “normal” in another.

      This was an extremely interesting comment to reflect on simply because it is so true. I don't think I've thought about it in that was before, in terms of the fact that anything in society can pose as an issue or plan someone into the "disability" category .

    1. Right to privacy. November 2023. Page Version ID: 1186826760. URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Right_to_privacy&oldid=1186826760 (visited on 2023-12-05).

      Though this source discusses the right to privacy in the common sense, once social media is put into the equation, it seems as though the general right to privacy goes out the window for consumers. Most don't even mind though, seeing as it is so normalized.

    1. Employees at the company misusing their access, like Facebook employees using their database permissions to stalk women

      Though this feels invasive and unprofessional. it's unfortunately not that surprising and I find the initial phrasing of this quote to be directed towards men. Regardless of this accuracy, thats what most individuals minds go to.

    1. Spaghetti-tree hoax. November 2023. Page Version ID: 1187320430. URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spaghetti-tree_hoax&oldid=1187320430 (visited on 2023-12-05).

      I found this interestingly placed within the sources because it's such a common concept. April fools jokes being considered trolling was comical in a way. This specific source talks about it in many forms but also in relation to advertising.

    1. Feeling Powerful: Trolling sometimes gives trolls a feeling of empowerment when they successfully cause disruption or cause pain.**

      I found this section intriguing due to the fact that trolling in specifics to social media and comment sections is extremely prevalent, often having strong effects on the creators of the given media. I think it gives people power and a feeling that they are in control when making fun of someone on the internet. They're also given an accessible platform to do so in the comment section of any social media platform.

    1. COVID-19 pandemic. November 2023. Page Version ID: 1186598722. URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=COVID-19_pandemic&oldid=1186598722 (visited on 2023-11-24).

      I found reading this article nostalgic in a way because the picture this source chose to use was one that was broadcasted everywhere during the heightened time of covid. The image would bring the same result for many, given that this photo was used as a statement.

    1. In 2016, the Twitter account @Sciencing_Bi was created by an anonymous bisexual Native American Anthropology professor at Arizona State University (ASU). She talked about her experiences of discrimination and about being one of the women who was sexually harassed by a particular Harvard professor. She gained a large Twitter following among academics, including one of the authors of this book, Kyle.

      I find it interesting how beginning this segment with the descriptions of this woman change how the audience may perceive this story. Is it necessary to heavily de script one's attributes and qualities to make the most impact in a story?

    1. Text messaging. November 2023. Page Version ID: 1184681792. URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Text_messaging&oldid=1184681792 (visited on 2023-11-24).

      I found this interesting because texting itself seems like such a straight forward thing, no explanation needed. I appreciated the breakdown in this segment of how influential and helpful the instant messaging world has been to current society. Seeing as it is the most convenient and direct way of online communication, its success is evident.

    1. Designers of social media sites have to decide how to layout information for users to navigate and decide how the user performs various actions (like, retweet, post, look up user, etc.). Some information and actions will be made larger and easier to access while others will be smaller or hidden in menus or settings.

      Though this comment seems obvious, I found it interesting how seamlessly user interface is integrated into certain aspects of social media. Every placement of what the user sees is meticulously placed so that it's more accessible to express the users thoughts or feelings towards media. Everything is curated for the greatest impact and absorption of media in a way that is easy access for users.

    1. Caroline Delbert. Some People Think 2+2=5, and They’re Right. Popular Mechanics, October 2023. URL: https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/math/a33547137/why-some-people-think-2-plus-2-equals-5/ (visited on 2023-11-24).

      This article was straight forward and interesting when discussing the idea that data can so easily be confused when there are a million factors in the mix and often mistakes can be made. It quotes, something as simple and 2+2 can be incorrect when there's multiple variables.

    1. If we think of a tweet’s contents (text and photos) as the main data of a tweet, then additional information such as the user, time, and responses would be considered metadata.

      This made a lot of sense when considering how many introductory questions your media profiles ask when you're setting up an account. I now know the data it's asking for is referring further to build a profile that consists on metadata.

    1. TweetDelete - Easily delete your old tweets. URL: https://tweetdelete.net/ (visited on 2023-12-02).

      This tweet is super interesting and I'm sure it was heavily looked at because it's a universal issue users have faced. The hard truth that anything posted on social media, stays on social media. This was a simple escape route and lead users to understand how to delete their posts off of their page, though it didn't specify deleting it from the public eye.

    1. Twitter users quickly started tweeting racist comments at Tay, which Tay learned from and started tweeting out within one day.

      I found this part of the chapter so entertaining in a way because it is so current to today's society and approach to bots in media. I distinctly remember hearing about this "racist tay bot" and thinking how ridiculous and slightly scary it was. The idea that a bot could develop and pull these notions out into society was alarming.

    1. Locke: Everyone has a right to life, liberty, and property

      I found this specific quote relevant because it is an idea that society has thrown around decade after decade. Though it is a written "right", I disagree with the idea that is inherently believed and accepted by all. To this day, is is evident within U.S. culture that it is not believed within our systems.

    1. “The internet isn’t real life.”

      I found this comment extremely interesting as there's so much irony and truth in a simple phrase. Given that social media has had significant influence over this current society, people have made it their livelihoods to promote and take upon the idea of social media as their life. Though its easy to mistake the media being an income, as someone's real life when in truth its just a factor.
