Missing: Online Etiquette – Have You Seen Me?

twodonutsmakeinfinity on February 23, 2019February 23, 2019

Despite having a short class, we seem to have touched upon a few important points that are worth repeating here. The major part for me was Dr. Zamora’s recount of dealing with anger. It made me truly realize the aspect that bothers the most of us about online world; it’s our own primitive nature reflected on computer screen like a mirror. It is no secret that people, in general, do not enjoy seeing the primitive nature of humanity, yet it […]

Privacy Is A Privilege?

helterskelliter on February 17, 2019February 17, 2019

“We are paying for everything right now. The currency we’re trading is data.” ~ Anne-Marie Scott So, this week the polar vortex finally descended upon us and swallowed us whole in a show of might that only emphasized how insignificant we are– Actually, class just got snowed out cause global warming is a thing and it’s screwing with the weather. What are you gonna do??? Pass Ocasi0-Cortez’s Green Deal??? Anyway, despite this week’s unfortunate weather, some of us were still able […]

Which One of These People Twisted the “Truth”?

twodonutsmakeinfinity on February 16, 2019February 16, 2019

I’d say… definitely number 6! Man, what a week. That was possibly the best class we’ve had so far; the extensive lecture and the in-depth discussion that followed. Wait… we did not have a class this week. Oh, that’s right. The class was canceled due to extreme weather. I’m 100% certain that I’m the only one who has ever made this “original” joke. That’s the “truth”. It seems like we have actually missed out on an interesting topic, which was […]

A Platform that Causes Polarizing Opinions and Exposure to Personal Info Theft -What is Social Media?

twodonutsmakeinfinity on February 11, 2019February 11, 2019

Correct! I can’t possibly be the only one who was disappointed that we did not get to play jeopardy in the class, right? Surely, someone else has to mention that title in their blog as well. Then again, I’m not so sure if I need to play a game that reminds me of not being an intellectual… Anyways… In my last blog post, I’ve briefly talked about the ongoing “living in the darkness” concept and how it was not something […]

In the Algorithm We Trust (But Should We????)

helterskelliter on February 10, 2019February 10, 2019

Welcome back to hell~ This week, we dove deeper into the darkness of the web and the practices of those who use the web as a tool for mass surveillance. Topics in this week’s discussion include 1) data tracking, 2) digital redlining, and 3) surveillance capitalism. Light stuff, I know. Anyway, I suggest you grab a drink of your choice and strap in for my *hot take* on some of these issues~ Data Tracking, Digital Redlining, & Surveillance Capitalism Oh My! […]

I Actually Really Do Feel like Someone is Always Watching Me…👀

lillians02 on February 9, 2019February 9, 2019

I'm not sure how many people remember this Geico commercial where the stack of money was always looking at someone, and then the music would start to play. "I always feel like somebody's watching meeeeeeee and I have no privacy. Woah Oh Oh." I would use to laugh every time I saw this commercial because … Continue reading I Actually Really Do Feel like Someone is Always Watching Me… →

big & little windows

masooch94 on February 4, 2019February 4, 2019

I’m… just gonna apologize right out the door. Though, confusedly, a bit. I hadn’t realized that the blog posts for our class are due Sunday night, not Monday night. I’ll get my act together in the upcoming weeks. Hopefully. Maybe. No, not maybe. I’ll do it. Okay, so. Gonna hit a few things tonight. And by a few I mean I’m planning on hitting two, and we’ll see where it goes from there. Three. After writing the first part, I’m realizing I […]

Let’s dive into the Internet’s f*ckery~ The Dark Substance of the Internet This week, discussion started off light enough with an introductory reading on alchemy and the creation and nature of this ancient magic’s digital form. This reading was also […]

Time to Say Goodbye

Marissa on May 14, 2018May 14, 2018

me.Well netnarr, it's been a really fun semester. I've been so excited to relive the Digital Alchemy and Networked Narratives experience with a new group of students, and I cannot believe that May has come so quickly. It's been simultaneously a very long and a very short semester-- although I can look back and remember the first week, it also feels as if January were years ago. We've experienced a lot this semester and played with a variety of digital […]
