SELFIE WORLD

Profile Picture for ambitiousisshe ambitiousisshe on

https://www.inc.com/annabel-acton/the-history-and-future-of-selfies-and-how-theyre-disrupting-communications.html If Seanette thinks selfies are deeply significant because sometimes those selfies may tell a story. This may be how someone knows how to express themselves or posting a selfie gives them the confidence they lack because that selfie gets many likes. Rose disagrees because she feels people post selfies for attention which makes no sense. Selfies are cool, but shouldn’t be used all the time. #fieldguide #netnarr

Exploring the History of the Selfie~

Profile Picture for helterskelliter helterskelliter on

So, I know this post wasn’t formatted exactly as suggested but I was in “the zone” and didn’t even think of writing this post as suggested. Sorry >.< Just know I contain plenty multitudes~ When it comes to discussing emergent forms of digital content creation, I think there are few more disputed or more controversial forms than that of the selfie. It has been vilified across the board, reaffirmed, vilified again, then reaffirmed….and so on. It appears we as a people can’t […]

Following the Crumbs Can Be Crummy…

Profile Picture for helterskelliter helterskelliter on

This post is late because of a certain snarky blog poster’s birthday this weekend #24on24 Anyway…. Hey~ This week, we explored the nature of truth in online spaces. Often, online, false news or misinformation spreads more rapidly and much further than facts or more honest news or truthful reporting of information. With this being the case, how is one to navigate online spaces and make decisions about the truth or “fakeness” of a source? Can there be any fake or real […]

field guide attempt 0.1

Profile Picture for masooch94 masooch94 on

Alright, so I’m less lost on how to go about working on this field guide collection of resources… but I’m not sure how helpful I’m gonna be regarding finding said resources to use regarding the darkness of the internet. I can barely find my glasses in the morning. And half the time they’re on my face. BUT. We’ll give it the ol’ grad school try. One thing that really stuck out to me this week was the “eating spiders in […]

When Did the Social Network Become Less About Being Social?

Profile Picture for Marykate's Master Blog Marykate's Master Blog on

Should we start regulating social media?The Forbes article "Do We Really Need to Start Regulating Social Media?", by Andrew Arnold, discusses the concerns people have over laws that regulate social media. The article explores multiple perspectives, such as the importance of regulating to prevent large companies from controlling the information accessible. However, those against regulating social media suggest it won't do any good, only stifle the exchange of ideas.I think the concern boils down to too much of anything isn't […]

Here Lies: New Z. Paper – Killed by the Intern Ed, 2008

Profile Picture for twodonutsmakeinfinity twodonutsmakeinfinity on

Something that I always bring up in a conversation about the advancement of technology is the death of newspaper. It’s no secret that the new generation of “kids” prefer to get their news (along with other trending topics) immediately from the internet. The daily newspaper can only offer the news of yesterday, whereas on the internet you can get the news of… 2 minutes ago. Isn’t that wild? Well, I guess nothing technology-wise really surprises anyone, anymore. When was the […]

Profile Picture for karelnavyblue karelnavyblue on

URL to article: https://brianclifton.com/blog/2013/03/06/online-privacy-the-good-the-bad-the-ugly/   This article talks in-depth about how users of the internet are more likely than not to already be losing their privacy as they constantly visit websites, or software, that collects their data anonymously through the installing of 3-party cookies, and plugins on their systems or devices. Some of these websites highlighted on this article are some of the most popular today, such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google, and Sharethis. It is not surprising that […]

[Fieldguide] Post summary on ‘Meet the Internet’s FIRST responders to security emergencies’

Profile Picture for karelnavyblue karelnavyblue on

URL to article: https://internethealthreport.org/2018/meet-the-internets-first-responders-to-security-emergencies/ This article tackles on a darker side to data tracking. In this case, it addresses what happens when something goes wrong with the data collected. As example, this article tells a story (real life) about an event that happened at an university, where the system was hacked by an unknown person or party. This school, as part of the nowadays-common data collection trend on its students and staff, had such important data stolen by the hacker […]

Field Guide:If I Won’t WebMD it-Don’t WebMD Me!

Profile Picture for Marykate's Master Blog Marykate's Master Blog on

As of now, I want to center my contribution to our Field Guide for surviving the darkness around today's youth. Being a teacher, I find this idea of digital surveillance fascinating, but also discouraging in terms of how to teach my students. They only care about the latest music or what Youtuber said what this week. I struggle with finding the words to make them care about this issue, as they need to be aware of it. During my research on […]

The Best Lure When You’re Hunting for Clicks is…

Profile Picture for twodonutsmakeinfinity twodonutsmakeinfinity on

A bait! (Is this title considered a “clickbait? I wonder…) In my other blog post, I’ve briefly talked about the concept of clickbait. It’s something of a “hot topic” these days. I figured that maybe I could find something useful to share for our Field Guide. Thus, I decided to do a search on google (talk about enthusiasm). The first source I’ve stumbled upon was this intricate and intelligent (sounding?) PDF file: https://vaibhav4595.github.io/files/Multimodal_Clickbait.pdf It was very constructive. It also short-circuited […]

Developing Digital Literacy (One Video at a Time)~

Profile Picture for helterskelliter helterskelliter on

Hey~ Welcome to this week’s bonus post ^.^ I’m going to try to keep it short & sweet! A big topic in class related to privacy, data tracking, and navigating online spaces as a whole is that of digital literacy. Data tracking, learning algorithms, and surveillance capitalism have largely been allowed to propagate and perpetuate and make a butt-ton of money off of all of us due in large part to a lack of regulation. Unfortunately, much of this has gone […]

https://via.hypothes.is/http://nymag.com/intelligencer/2018/08/what-is-the-baby-meme-about-eating-sugar-and-telling-lies.html If there isn’t enough going on already here goes another catchy song to make the kiddies go crazy over. I’m happy my daughter has passed the age of wanting to continuously listen to these annoy songs which seem very catchy to a toddler’s ear. I feel that on a level of 0-10 it’s a solid 5 because although, it’s annoying, these songs keep children occupied and add to their learning. I say that because many times finger play is […]
