This reminds me of our class discussion on Monday where we had to think on what schools should be teaching students. It appears that those in New England believed "perfecting schools" meant having individuals with morals and intelligence. This makes me wonder on the history of schooling in New England and whether their history has anything to do with their ideas on education being taught.

This reminds me of standardized tests and how they are used to paint a picture of students, teachers, schools, and districts abilities and how the data can be used positively or negatively.

This reminds me of how people talk about infinity we can’t observe it directly, but we believe in it because we can understand the concept in our minds.

This piece reminds me of sports, when you first start slow you need to check if you are doing your form/steps correctly before moving on

1. Mood (Tone/Mood) “When he woke in the woods in the dark and the cold of the night…” McCarthy sets a somber and eerie mood right from the beginning. The repetition of "dark" and "cold" creates a feeling of fear and discomfort, showing that the world is not just physically bleak but emotionally cold too.

2. Diction “Cold autistic dark” This phrase is jarring and emotionally intense. The word “autistic” here doesn’t refer to the medical condition but evokes a sense of detachment and emotional shutdown. It shows how the father feels disconnected from the world, mirroring the lifeless landscape.

3. Setting “Nights dark beyond darkness and the days more gray each one than what had gone before.” The setting is post-apocalyptic and colorless. The bleak description of time passing, days getting grayer, emphasizes hopelessness and despair, showing that life in this world is steadily decaying.

4. Characterization The father constantly checks on his son, even while he sleeps. This detail shows how deeply protective he is. In a world with nothing left, his son is his only reason to keep going. It gives us insight into his values of love, care, and survival.

Connection to a Short Film (YouTube): This scene reminds me of the short film Cargo on YouTube: Cargo (Post-Apocalyptic Short Film). In both The Road and Cargo, a father goes to extreme lengths to protect his child in a devastated world. Both stories highlight the idea that love can survive even in the darkest times. The father in The Road, like the one in Cargo, puts his child’s safety above all else.

This reminds me of all the progress we have made on IQ testing. Until recently IQ was thought to be ridged and reflective of someone's life long intelligence. Now we now that it's not ridged and can be improved over time. Teachers are evolving to fit that idea.

On the fragmented comment chains in ActivityPub and two approaches for it. Calls it the 'quiet fediverse' problem. Reminds me of [[Zijn VR virtual worlds leeg 20070917131806]] the quiet VR worlds problem, though that's different. English translation of original Korean post.

I chose this passage because it highlights the importance of emotional intelligence and personal growth, which are often overlooked in traditional education. So much of school is focused on academics and performance, but this reminds me that true education also helps us understand ourselves. This line speaks to the idea that education should be holistic, not just about preparing students for tests or jobs. As someone pursuing nursing, I know that understanding myself helps me better care for others. I believe when students learn to reflect on their inner world, they gain confidence and empathy, which are essential for both personal well-being and healthy communities.

This reminds me of the video we watched yesterday about Xanadu. It sounds like Twine is doing something different than replicating two dimensional paper media for the screen, which can feel stagnant. Yesterday we talked about how different forms of creation allow us to think differently. This resonates with the final line of this excerpt: "to invent new visions outside of traditional channels of commerce."

This reminds me of a source we read earlier this quarter. It talked about how the inventor of "doom-scrolling" regretted actions because he knew how much harm it would cause. It's honestly really sad that it turned out this way but it is also a good reminder that humans can get so caught up in what we can do that we don't think about if it will even benefit us.

This sentence made me think about how competition leads to innovation. Instead of trying to copy Facebook, platforms like TikTok and Twitter found success by doing something different. It reminds me of how in school or life, just following what others do doesn't always work—you need to find your own strength or unique style. I think this shows how being different can actually be an advantage, not a weakness.

I consulted the article "La La Lands White Jazz Narrative" by Ira Madison III and found his viewpoints very inspiring. He pointed out that in the film La La Land, the male lead's insistence on defending true jazz is actually a way of presenting the occupation of African American cultural space by white characters. This made me start to re-examine some of the movies I used to like and reflect on whether there were similar cultural appropriation phenomena in them. Although the creator may have no ill intentions, this article reminds us that we need to be more vigilant in thinking about which voices are highlighted and which groups are marginalized.

That is such a high number its crazy to believe a few people owned such a large percentage of the industries. It some what reminds me of how certain companies that seem different are actually owned under the same branch like the company that owns monster also owns a large portion of other energy drinks out there. Or how like Coca Cola owns dasaini.

This reminds me of some situations in reality where people stockpile masks and eggs and then sell them at high prices. Although the scales are different, the principle seems to be similar. The article also states that in many countries, doing so is illegal because it makes the market unfair. I think this point is very important. Sometimes, the "clever" ways of making money might actually be unfair to others and even illegal.

This is an important sentence to note because it highlights the loophole of the 13th Amendment. Reading this statement reminds me of the fact that the U.S. has one of the largest incarceration rates in the world, predominantly made up of people of color such as Black men in particular. Today, prison labor is still used as cheap or free labor for various companies. Therefore, although slavery in the U.S. has been abolished, this loophole and the prominence of prison labor is eerily and sadly similar.

This article talks about how publish shaming is an action with the purpose of upholding social norms. It reminds me of the popular phrase used on tiktok, "lets bring shame back". This phrase is used in the context of people posting inappropriate content to their public accounts and expecting no lash back even though there are children on the app. The point of bringing shame back is to stop these sort of behaviors.

This article reminds me to be cautious of the "false sense of intimacy" brought about by social media. Although these platforms make it easier for people to express their emotions and opinions, sometimes they can also make people mistakenly believe they understand others, and even affect judgment. This "illusion of intimacy" may also make people more prone to online arguments or misunderstandings.

Reminds me of how Luhmann wasn't just reading empiric publications for his theory — he also read some fiction

There is nothing more aggravating than watching a film that has rattles – irritating enough to notice, but only during the most exciting parts of the movie. When reported, they don't seem to get fixed.

So, please pay special attention to this and make the notes required to get it fixed.

This reminds me that we should create a 'ping' system so that these things get followed-up on.

I have heard some victims say that they chose to forgive because they wanted to get themselves out of the pain, not because they wanted to forget, but to prevent hatred from continuing to control them. I think forgiveness is not necessarily about saying "it doesn't matter", but rather "I don't want to be trapped by this matter anymore". This reminds me of what was discussed in the psychology class about emotional release and self-growth. Sometimes letting go can actually be a form of strength.

This reminds me a lot of Swatting, where streamers on platforms such as Twitch or YouTube would have cops called on them by someone and armed cops would come in and detain them live on stream. I remember how surprised I was seeing it happen for the first time live and how messed up I thought it was, even if it was for the extra entertainment value.

A kind of reified vision that reminds me of critiques of priesthoods and the power of the mission.

One section of the chapter that jumped out to me was the discussion of how abusers might utilize tracking and spyware on their victim's phones. This reminds me of previous situations in which survivors of domestic violence described how their partners monitored their location or texts without their permission. It's alarming how technology created for safety (such as location sharing or parental controls) can be twisted into tools of manipulation. It raises fundamental concerns about technology companies' ethical duties to build tools that prevent abuse. Should app creators be held liable if their tools are commonly misused in this manner?

I think this article highlights an important issue: The anonymity provided by social platforms not only safeguards freedom of speech, but also makes it easier for some people to engage in malicious behavior without facing consequences. This reminds me of the "platform responsibility" issue we discussed in class - if a platform is constantly used to organize harmful actions, should this platform bear some responsibility for this?

I think the word "violence" does carry a strong value judgment. It is not merely a term to describe an action; it is also a reflection of a social attitude. This reminds me of news reports where, if the police use force to arrest someone, different media outlets will have completely different descriptions. Some call it "law enforcement", while others call it "violent suppression". This shows that language itself influences how we perceive an action.

I really appreciate how this part emphasizes the importance of shared voice and mutual recognition. The idea that the mother and daughter are not separate but deeply connected challenges the way we usually frame difference as distance. It reminds me that to truly understand difference, we have to listen to multiple perspectives—not just about someone, but with them.

I really like the part about "both voices must be heard" in this paragraph. Many times we are used to "speaking for others", especially in the position of caregivers or educators, as if we know what is best for them. But this paragraph made me realize that true understanding is not to speak for her, but to speak with her. Lydia's growth is not just the growth of a child, but also a process in which a voice is gradually heard by the world. I think the author's respect is particularly touching, and it reminds us to listen - especially those voices that are not easy to be heard.

This sentence reminds me that after many students are labeled, it is difficult to be regarded as a complete person. Like Lydia, with the label of special needs, others can easily ignore her interests, personality and abilities. She is not synonymous with cognitive impairment, she is a child with unique ideas. The school should see what the child can do, not just what she lacks.

This reminds me how representation in school isn't just symbolic—it has real emotional and psychological consequences. When LGBTQ students don’t see themselves reflected in the curriculum or feel unsafe in school environments, it impacts everything from learning to mental health. I also hadn’t thought much before about students with LGBTQ parents and the added challenges they face. This really shows how schools need to be more inclusive on multiple levels.

This section really made me think about how LGBTQ topics are often framed around danger, risk, or trauma. While those realities are important, it's limiting if that’s all we focus on. I like how the reading reminds us that LGBTQ communities also have resilience, joy, and rich cultural histories. Including those aspects in education helps move the conversation from tolerance to genuine respect.

This reminds me of the continued work of POC scholars to articulate the ways anger becomes a path to liberation. I'm inspired how it is shared that love and rage can sit side by side. The two forces can sculpt a journey toward positive change.

love that you are honoring them!

This article and the use of crowd sourcing to find this missing person reminds me of the communities online which crowd source help to try to find missing children from their missing posters and pictures. Doxxing someone online may be one of the more easier things to do with open source information.

I watched the WIRED video "How to Not Embarrass Yourself in Front of the Robot at Work" in Reference [p5]. The video is about how humans often act unnatural or even a little awkward when working with robots. This reminds me that although technology is becoming increasingly intelligent, humans have not yet fully adapted psychologically to the scenarios of interacting with non-human colleagues. Therefore, when designing human-computer interaction systems in the future, not only functionality should be considered, but also human emotions and social habits.

perfectly said!

reminds me of Faith Ringgold's Flag for the Moon

This quote highlights the long-term impact of students’ digital behavior and the importance of teaching responsible online habits. It reminds me that digital citizenship is more than just avoiding harm, it’s about actively building a positive presence online. As a future educator, I want to help students understand that what they post, share, and engage with online can follow them into college and careers. Teaching students to manage their digital footprint thoughtfully is just as important as teaching traditional academic skills in today’s world.

Reminds me of the "Utopian Promise" video and the contracts of the New World the Quakers and Puritans were making on the ship and in the new land

This quote emphasizes that the SAMR model (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition) is not a rigid hierarchy, but rather a flexible framework. It reminds me that technology integration should be purposeful and context-driven. Sometimes a simple substitution is all that's needed, while in other situations, redefinition can unlock entirely new learning experiences. As a future teacher, this helps me think more critically about how I use tech, not aiming for the “highest” level, but the most effective one for my students and learning goals.

This quote highlights how dramatically our expectations of privacy have changed in the digital age. In the past, there were clear legal protections around private communication, like phone calls. But now, with digital tools and platforms, those lines are much blurrier, especially when it comes to what companies and governments can access. As a future educator, this reminds me that teaching digital literacy isn’t just about using tools, it’s also about helping students understand their rights, how data is collected, and how to protect their privacy online.

This quote captures the heart of why educational technology matters; not just as a convenience, but as a meaningful way to enhance learning and daily life. When thoughtfully selected and implemented, digital tools can support students’ engagement, understanding, and access to content. It reminds me to focus on tools that have a clear, positive impact and not just use technology for the sake of it. As a future teacher, I want to make intentional choices that truly support student growth and make learning more inclusive and effective.

This quote highlights the growing importance of mobile technology in education and the need to evaluate instructional methods specifically designed for these devices. As mobile use becomes more widespread, educators must consider how to effectively deliver content that is accessible and engaging on phones and tablets. This reminds me that, as a future teacher, I’ll need to stay informed about emerging mobile tools and how to assess their effectiveness to support diverse learners in various settings.

This quote highlights the critical responsibility educators have to ensure equity in learning by making environments accessible to all students. It reminds me that inclusivity isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for fair education. The emphasis on evaluating digital tools before using them is especially important in today’s tech-driven classrooms, where some apps or resources may unintentionally exclude learners with disabilities. This reinforces the need for me, as a future teacher, to be diligent about choosing tools that support diverse learning needs and to advocate for accessibility in all aspects of teaching.

This quote stands out because it expands the idea of a Personal Learning Network beyond just the people we connect with. It emphasizes that the environments we engage in and the tools we use are equally important. As a future teacher, this reminds me that professional growth doesn't happen in isolation. I need to be intentional about the spaces I frequent (like online forums or conferences) and the tools I rely on (like note-taking apps or blogs). It’s also a good reminder that building a PLN isn’t just about networking, it’s about continuously seeking resources and environments that push my thinking, reflect diverse perspectives, and keep me engaged in lifelong learning.

This reminds me of the video we watched in class where the teachers looked at the Black boy more than the other students for misbehavior. There needs to be more representation of people of color when it comes to teachers because bias, especially bias from being unknowledgeable of cultural differences, negatively impacts how students are perceived. I think that if there isn’t any teacher that shares the same background of the students, stereotypes and biases go unchecked. Seeing how Black students were labeled as troublemakers after the second infraction, this conveys the stereotypical biases that influences education.

I think what he said makes sense. If we always avoid the comment section, those malicious people will take over it, and it will make the kind and constructive people silent. I once posted my work on social media and saw some people leaving encouraging comments, which made me feel very warm. But sometimes I am also affected by negative comments. If the platform and users can work together to create a better comment environment, then the comment section can actually become a very meaningful place. This reminds me that we can't just complain about the poor state of the online space; we also need to participate and improve it ourselves.

Its crazy to think of how involved the government is with controlling what can be viewed on social media platforms but they really do control it directly with the laws that they pass. This reminds me of the law to ban tiktok being made a priority over other important matters because the government is aware of how much information is really released on the platform.

I think user control and freedom should be on the forefront of every designer's mind and treated with high priorityy for interface design. I'd even argue and say that it should be a critical proponent. I have definitely experienced frustration with the lack of user control and freedom on some interfaces. I think that someone can have an amazing design in all other aspects, and it would be an awful design because it lacks user control and freedom. Going back to my INFO300 class again, user control and freedom kind of reminds me of the Belmont Principals for ethics. I think ethical design respects individual autonomy and this is one way to achieve it.

I think this breakdown of processes is a great checkbox in designing a product, and it kind of reminds me of the work we're currently doing in info 380. I remember at the start of the class after we picked our topics, we had to determine who our stakeholders were and think from their perspectice. Not only did we analyze interviews with users but also took notes on what features they expected or wanted.

This is an important element of design, as users can feel frustrated if they feel like they don't understand how a product works. Making things as simple as possible is essential for users to feel satisfied and for them to be able to meet their needs. This concept also reminds me of learning about conventions in other INFO classes, as there are established ways of completing certain tasks, and users become accustomed to them and begin to expect certain behaviors. For example, when people go up to a sink, there is an expectation that turning it to the left produces hot water and turning it to the right produces cold water.

This quote powerfully captures the emotional and social toll of invisibility that many LGBTQ+ youth experience. Ngo’s reflection highlights a common misunderstanding: what might appear as introversion or social withdrawal can actually stem from a deeper, internal conflict—the fear of judgment for simply being oneself. In environments where queer and non-binary identities are viewed as “weird” or abnormal, students like Ngo often feel forced to suppress their personality in order to stay safe or accepted.

Rather than a lack of sociability, this is a survival strategy. It underscores the importance of affirming environments where youth can express their identity without fear. When Ngo says he “just wanted to be [his] true and genuine self,” it reminds us that authenticity isn't possible without cultural and institutional support. This makes me wonder, how many students are mislabeled as shy, antisocial, or unmotivated when in reality they’re struggling to feel seen and safe? What can educators do to create spaces where being different isn’t treated as “weird,” but as valuable?

This reminds me of how Jody acted.

This reminds me of when the girl Daisy has the two suitors who offer to get her a steam ship and a passenger train.

Tree structure for comments is helpful for understanding the concept of comments. The tree structure reminds me of the the previous coding topics: conditional statements and lists. Lists because each branch of a tree is like an ordered list of comments that are interconnected. Conditional statements because if a user responds to another comment it is added to a list.

people suddenly sharing very private and painful experiences. The comment sections are either filled with kind comfort or clearly don't know how to respond. This phenomenon made me realize that it is very easy to blur the line between "appropriate" and "inappropriate" audiences online. I also agree with the "pseudo-social relationship" mentioned in the article, which may make people mistakenly believe that the other person is a friend willing to listen, and thus accidentally impose traumatic emotions on others.

This reminds me of the concept of MVP and the importance of first testing the idea and only then building a good product based on that idea. For example, before TurboTax was built, the founder first was interested if anybody would even want to file their taxes online. So instead of building an intricate system, they first built a super simple one that only filed a specific tax document that only a percentage of the population was eligible to file. It was done for the sake of simplicity to test out the idea without spending too many resources. The tool went viral and only then they started making it more universal for other tax filers too.

so true!!

This paragraph is a bit like inviting us to be "observers", not just to observe the overall atmosphere of a class, but to pay attention to individual gender behavioral differences. When I was teaching in the past, I found that boys are often more likely to be noticed in class, whether they are good or naughty, while girls are more likely to be ignored because they are usually more "well-behaved". This paragraph made me realize that sometimes our judgments about "who is active" or "who deserves encouragement" are actually mixed with gender bias. The phrase "maybe you will see yourself" is quite immersive, and it also reminds us to look at children's behavior with empathy.

for - book - The Thunder, Perfect Mind - reminds me of Thich Nhat Hahn's writing, or Rumi's poems

One thing that struck me about this chapter was how the concept of replication and inheritance on social media reflects how ideas evolve in real life. When someone edits a post, such as adding comments in the form of a quote tweet or remixing it in a TikTok Duet, it reminds me of how memes and cultural trends emerge through reinterpretation. It makes me wonder how much control we actually have over our original stuff once it's online. I also wonder if this type of replication dilutes the original message or amplifies it by allowing additional voices to add to it.

It really captures how our teenage insecurities can stick with us for years. That image of the “girl nobody dances with” feels symbolic of how many people carry around a version of their younger, uncertain self. It reminds me of when I was in ninth grade and showed up to a school dance in an outfit I thought was cool—only to realize no one else dressed that way.

This part beautifully shows how high school is more than just academics—it’s really where teens start trying out who they want to become. The phrase “experiment with different roles” totally makes sense; one day you’re shy and quiet, the next you’re suddenly in the school play or trying out for student council. It reminds me of my friend who used to be super introverted, but after she joined the drama club, she started to shine. She told me it felt like she finally found a version of herself that made sense—and that’s what high school is often about: testing things out until something clicks.

This reminds me of a viral TikTok video from a while ago, where a girl accidentally hit her waist while recording and let out a high-pitched scream, which made the original video quite funny. Viewers noticed that the pitch of her scream matched certain musical melodies surprisingly well, so many users started remixing the scream into songs. These creative edits helped the content spread even more widely and demonstrated an alignment between the original humor and the way the video went viral.

Although this tweet seemed very simple, it attracted a lot of attention and was retweeted on social media. It shows that nowadays on the Internet, even without speaking but only using expressions, one can still have a great ability to spread. I think this is also related to the "copying" and "inheritance" mentioned in this chapter. Many people add their own explanations or emotions when forwarding, and thus the content has a "new version". This tweet also reminds me that sometimes the power of social media is huge, and even a small action can trigger many reactions.

This has given me some new ideas about the objectization of students in schools. Behind such requirements and policies lies actually the division and control of gender and race, which intensifies the control of gender and leads to a vicious circle. This reminds me of school uniforms. In China, all students are required to wear uniform clothing. I think this has some special differences from the dresscode. What China demands is collectivism that is for all genders, but the dress code for girl is a kind of materialization of women themselves.

This insight really resonates with me, especially thinking back to a hackathon I participated in recently. My team and I jumped into coding too quickly, thinking we had a solid solution. But halfway through, we realized we didn’t fully understand our users’ needs or the pain points we were trying to address. Looking back, a simple low-fidelity prototype, even just sketches, could have helped us clarify what problem we were solving and saved hours of backtracking. This quote reframes prototyping not just as a technical skill but as a thinking tool, one that helps guide decisions, not just execution. It reminds me that in any design process, it's just as important to ask why you're building something as it is to ask how you'll build it.

I really appreciate this reframing of what a prototype is for. I completely agree that too often teams treat prototypes as mini-products and get locked into improving them rather than learning from them. Emphasizing that prototypes are disposable encourages a more experimental mindset, where failure isn’t a setback but a step toward clarity. This perspective is useful for my own projects because it reminds me to set clear learning goals before building anything, so I don’t waste time polishing details that may turn out to be irrelevant.

This section kind of reminds me of variables in coding. I'm currently picking up python and SQL, and this idea perfectly encapulates what variables are. Bridging this to an interface of data and algorithms, I agree that although not directly, a lot of these "state" from different designs do overlap. If we were to take inspiration or use other designs as a template, it would be easier for us to get the variables down.

Reading about the distinction between individual and systemic analysis made me reflect on how frequently we attribute blame to individuals without considering the bigger systems that influence their actions. The example of drug sentence inequities in the United States was particularly remarkable, demonstrating how institutional racism may operate even when no one means harm. It reminds me of public health talks in which results differ dramatically across racial and socioeconomic lines, not because of individual choices, but because of systemic impediments such as access to care or environmental exposures. This makes me wonder: how do we effectively improve systems that are "invisible" in everyday life but have such significant consequences?

interesting! it reminds me of a plot point in 1984, where one of the procedurally-generated songs outlives all the others (and some written by hand) because its lyrics seem to resonate with people more.

The systemic vs individual analysis reminds me of harm reduction vs punitive action. My first job was working in substance abuse prevention for my local county, where we focused on harm reduction. Instead of a focus on fear tactics and punitive attitudes (like the individual analysis) we talked to young people about ways to enrich their lives (systemic). Focusing on the root of the problem rather than cracking down on the individual is show to be more effective, and people naturally make safer decisions. I actively got to witness how effective focusing on systemic issues vs the individual is at a young age, which I am grateful for as it has helped me to see almost every aspect of life more holistically, and how effective systemic thinking is.

This reminds me of going to any of my bosses houses. It seems like every time I get a new boss and I go over its the same play over and over again. Hispanics working for white people. I always feel icky after I leave. I understand it is a job but I can't help but notice.

reminds me of Wengrow's primordial freedoms. We can't have the freedom to improve society if we can't imagine something different.

This section provides detailed background information about the neighborhoods where Benny and Miguel live, including racial proportions, poverty rates, and education levels. Although the numbers may seem a bit high, they actually tell us an important reality: these children are growing up in an environment with insufficient resources but cultural diversity. What impressed me was that although the poverty rates in different communities were high, the cultural composition and living conditions in each place were still different. The researchers did not use the word "poverty" to describe the complexity of these communities in detail, which also reminds us not to just look at economic data, but also to see the people living in them.

What is particularly worthy of praise in this paragraph is that the author frankly explained his and his team's background - including race, language ability, cultural experience, etc. They also emphasized that they considered the perspectives of the participants and reflected on their own positions when analyzing (this is "etic analysis"). I think this kind of self-disclosure is important because it reminds us that research is not neutral, but rather an understanding of the world with human experience and bias. Seeing so many people from different backgrounds working together to analyze materials also made me feel the diversity and inclusiveness of this research.

This paragraph emphasizes that the subjects of the study are two Latino families from low-income communities, and the focus is on how they "actively and continuously" support their children's literacy development. What I find particularly touching is that the study does not treat them as a vulnerable group, but rather sees their proactive efforts in family education. For example, although Benny and Miguel are only 6 years old and are still learning English, their families have already created space and opportunities for them to learn. This reminds me that insufficient resources do not mean insufficient enthusiasm for education.

I really love how the script is flipped for this word. The narrator switches it to her being the one who says these things. The one who takes power. Where the word in origin is usually a derogatory, negative word used against women.

This article talks about some women having particularly strong color vision ability and being able to see more colors than ordinary people. They are called "four-color visionaries". I think this discovery is amazing and it also reminds me that our understanding of vision is not comprehensive enough. When talking about "normal" senses, in fact, we overlook those who "see more", just as sometimes we also overlook those who see less, such as color-blind people. This article reminds me that when we design colors, we should not only consider color blindness, but also think about whether we can also take into account those with more acute vision.

It reminds me some confused designs on iphone, are they really adapting or subdue user? Like putting nothing new or very useless function on new iphone, but still promote new version every year. I feel people notice this recent years and sales of iphone goes down a little bit.

I think the point about ease of account creation is really important because it’s usually the first real interaction a user has with a product. If the process is confusing or too long, people might just give up before even trying the actual service. I definitely agree with this part of the reading, it reminds me how important it is to remove unnecessary steps and keep things as simple as possible. It also made me think more about how I personally react to difficult sign-up processes and how much they can influence my impression of a product overall

I couldn’t agree more. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that because a competitor uses a certain design, it must be the best option — but that’s not always the case. I find this advice very useful because it encourages critical thinking and creativity rather than imitation. It reminds me that competitive analysis should be about understanding the market while innovating based on the specific needs of users, rather than just copying what already exists. This has changed my perspective a bit because I used to think of competitor research mainly as a blueprint to follow, but now I think of it more as a source of inspiration to build better products.

I find it interesting that the article includes “feelings” as something to analyze, not just features and functions. This reminds me that user experience is about more than just what a product does; it’s also about how it makes people feel. I think it’s important to remember that emotions can be a big part of why someone chooses one product over another.

This reminds me of an earlier chapter from Amy Ko's book when talking about methods on how to derive creativity. I believe immersing yourself in competitors work is one of the best ways to get yourself in a creative and innovative mindset. Starting with one of the questions mentioned later in the text like asking how the competitor is trying to solve the problem and then naturally flowing from there. 

This reminds me of learning about Confirmation bias and social desirability bias in research methods. I always thought it was so interesting how humans behave so differently when being observed for for some form of social credit. I believe it is incredibly important to be as monotone as possible and try to leave the motivations at the door when it comes to taking surveys. 

This reminds me of ordering food at restaraunts. If I was just asked open-endedly on what food do I want right now, I would answer something completely different from if I was choosing a dish from a menu. Especially, if there are too many options on the menu, it's always very hard to choose "the best one" that I want to order. I imagine a similar psychology is involved in surveys.

This is something I'd like to do more of, sort of reminds me of the "flipped classroom" model where students would work on something asynchronously and then we'd incorporate it into our Zoom or In person class learning activity. However, my concern is for not having a critical mass of students who would consistently complete the asynchronous activity ahead of time and show up to class and participate in the synchronous activity.

The use of TEA and DMF to promote the reaction between tosylated pleuromutilin and thioguanine reminds me of the SN2 reactions from the first and second orgo quarters where a strong nucleophile displaces a good leaving group in polar aprotic solvent.

This reminds me a lot of the spanglish I grew up around. A lot of my friends that grew up with latino parents don't speak back to their parents in spanish it's almost like a hybrid of both. I do this too inadvertently when talking to my grandparents when I stumble across a word I don't know.

Lareau notes a trend of 'distance or separation' between working-class and poor adults and school institutions, contrasting with the greater engagement of middle-class parents. This observation reminds me of another reading this week indicating that the demanding schedules and lack of flexibility often experienced by working-class families can limit their ability to engage in with their children school.

This paragraph is about how the study was done - it sounds pretty solid. They visited 32 families of children between the ages of 8 and 10, and spent several months observing, grouping, and conducting in-depth interviews. I think the most interesting thing is that they also classified by social class and race, which shows that the author really wants to find out how "family background" affects children. To be honest, this reminds me of a classmate in elementary school. His parents loved to contact the teacher and would show up at school at any time to arrange tutoring, but in fact it could widen the gap in the children's development.

This paragraph is quite realistic, saying that parents from working-class and poor families don't pay much attention to developing their children's "special talents", but rather let their children play by themselves when they are free, and the connection between relatives is deeper. This reminds me of when I was a child, I spent most of my summer vacation at my grandmother's house, and my cousins ​​and I played together every day. No one arranged interest classes or anything like that. I felt that life was quite free, but it really had nothing to do with "special development".

And finally, although there is a lot of data, research often lacks a "big framework" to explain how social advantages are transmitted - this resonates with me too much. Many times, it's not the lack of data, but the lack of an idea to piece together the fragments. Life is much more complicated, and it can't be explained by a few tables.

This passage is actually quite interesting - it compares the way middle-class families and working-class/poor families raise children. Parents in middle-class families will deliberately arrange interest classes and extracurricular activities, and will use "reasoning" to guide their children; while working-class families are more likely to let their children grow up freely, and they don't arrange many "organized" activities. This reminds me of my childhood, when my parents always said "go play by yourself", and now I think it's quite free.

But the article also points out that this difference will make children from middle-class families more likely to have a feeling of "I deserve more", which is the so-called "entitlement", which may become a kind of self-confidence in adulthood. Children from working-class families do not develop this mentality so obviously. Therefore, the influence of social class on children's personality and opportunities is actually quite far-reaching, not just a matter of money.

This paragraph is so sad and true. The young author didn't realize that he was "poor" until he was called "white trash" by others - before that, he didn't even realize that he was poor. Especially the sentence "Third grade was the first time I learned 'I am poor' in school" is really touching, like a social label suddenly hit. It reminds me of a similar moment when I was a child, that is, you thought everything was fine, until someone reminded you that you were "different" with a certain look, and you will always remember that shock.

I was shocked at how much control people have over their own online identity with regard to Facebook. That there is the potential for my information to end up on their servers because someone who knows me has uploaded their list of contacts is a violation I never agreed to. What's more frustrating is the lack of transparency and that even when Facebook claims to be deleting data, it's most likely collecting new data at the same time. It makes me question how much control we truly have on the internet and how it reminds me that having the ability to opt-out of a platform is not always about opting-out of its reach.

This paragraph made me reflect on how easy it is to unintentionally manipulate data, especially when you're trying to prove a point. I’ve seen this happen in group projects where someone cherry-picked stats to support our thesis, but when we looked deeper, the broader dataset told a different story. It reminds me of how important it is to approach data with skepticism and to consider context rather than just patterns. Is there a reliable method to distinguish between meaningful correlations and coincidences in data?

Data poisoning reminds me of what happened to the Tay chatbot that has been previously mentioned. Since Microsoft allowed Tay to use Twitter as its learning ground, many users used slurs and other profanities in response to the chatbot with malicious intent. It was intentional data poisoning meant to push the bot to have a more racist viewpoint while also spouting some horrendous phrases.

This is a common case of technological advancements designed to assist human interaction, negatively affecting us. Social media algorithms are designed to show people exactly what they want to see online, but this can be dangerous as it is seen to be very addictive because it is designed to specifically make you spend more time on the app. This reminds me of the idea that when something is free (like social media), then you are the product. We are all being used for our attention spans to watch ads all day.

This quote reminds me that I need to balance clarity with persuasion. It is important to use plain language to remain professional and accessible, yet it is usually acceptable to appeal to my audience's values and concerns but it's important to avoid manipulation and exaggeration.

This reminds me of the insane occurrence when you're talking about a product or brand with your friend that you've never heard of, looked up, or engaged with before and then later that day you'll see an ad for that exact product/brand on snapchat or instagram and wonder if social media is listening to you. I'd really like to understand how and why this happens. Are they really recording our conversations? Are there certain buzzwords that you can say to trigger this instance? Is it just a big coincidence and a case of confirmation bias?

This social structure reminds me of the social patterns separating dolphins that used the sponges as tools and those that didnt.

This section reminds me of times when I’ve seen people post obviously fake or mean comments just to make others upset, especially in livestream chats or game forums. I used to think they were just joking, but now I realize it was trolling. It’s interesting to learn that some people do it to feel powerful or smart. I’ve even seen people try to “troll the newbies,” which I didn’t know was an actual term before reading this.

Exactly, reminds me of Judith Butler's theorizing of gender as a performative practice.

Text to World

This reminds me a lot about hat we learn on social media from people all around the world. Yes, we can make genuine friends, but we also follow "influencers" from anywhere and everywhere in the world. It is our way of making different connections with new people, while also gaining information quickly about world events that news stations often do not cover.

This reminds me of the current social media where many people attract attention by creating fake news and false events, undermining the public's trust in genuine information. This kind of behavior not only affects the quality of information dissemination, but also intensifies social division and opposition.

This sociological term brings up the emotional anf facial requirement to workers in service industry when facing with the customer in order to deliver a comfortable service. This might be inauthentic because workers are not allowed to bring up negative vibes, languages, and energy to the customer even if that's what their actual feeling. This reminds me of the news that went viral in Shanghai last year that a barista from manner coffee threw coffee powder to a customer's face and yelled at her since the staff cannot tolerate customer's repetitive, non-negotiable, and unreasonable complaint in busy hours. That showcases the fact the competitiveness of current service industry in Asia is driving the trained staff uncontrollably manage their feelings even when they are emotional labor.

This article talks about an instance in which a Twitter account that's supposedly run by a scientist who died from COVID is revealed to be fake. This article reminds me of a phenomenon that I've heard is pretty prevalent in the publishing community with authors pretending to be a different race than they are to get diversity points and I think I remember there being an author who did fake their death in a similar manner to this scientist so it seems like this issue is prevalent across communities with how easy it is to do something like this behind the anonymity of being online

I watched the video "Drunk History - John Adams and Thomas Jefferson Had Beef" in [e3] and thought it told real events in American history in a very humorous and creative way. Although the video presents history in the voice of a drunken narrator, it is based on actual historical sources, particularly the political and personal conflicts between Adams and Jefferson. This form of dissemination of knowledge in an entertaining way reminds me of the many content creators on social media today, who use jokes, clips or re-enactment to talk about history and science to reach a large audience of young people. In my opinion, this also reflects the diversification of information dissemination methods today, and echoes the "how blogs and other online platforms change the way information is transmitted" discussed in this chapter.

I think this section is really interesting to talk about the origins of blogging, but the earliest blogs were actually like people keeping diaries on the Internet. It reminds me that I used to use blogging platforms like Tumblr to record my mood and share photos, although I didn't think it was a "blog" at the time, but in fact, it did things very similar to the early blogs. Reading this part made me realize that, in fact, people have always had the need to share their lives and ideas through the Internet, but the platform has changed from the initial blog to the current micro blog, little red book, friend circle and so on. Tools are changing, but people's desire to express and communicate has always been there, which is really very touching.

This sentence reminds me of how we now use platforms like Canvas to write discussion posts and share reflections. As a non-native English speaker, I really appreciate the chance to write and revise my thoughts before sharing. It gives me more confidence to participate. Blog-style platforms made it easier for people like me to join conversations in public spaces.

Reminds me a bit of the "Essay" function on PECE: https://colab.ws/articles/10.1007%2F978-3-030-77431-8_3

In a way, this reminds me a bit of the work we're (still) doing as part of COPIM/OBF WP6...

I love this quote and how it reframes failure as a necessary part of creativity. It’s reassuring to know that bad ideas aren’t wasted—they’re stepping stones toward better ones. It makes the process feel less intimidating and more like an ongoing exploration. I’ve definitely been guilty of expecting my first idea to be perfect, but this reminds me that quantity can lead to quality with enough reflection and iteration.

I found that this perspective is both refreshing and practical. I used to think that being creative meant coming up with fully original ideas; in addition to that, Ko's suggestion that we can remix and build on existing ideas makes creativity feel more accessible. It also reminds me that research and observation are important parts of the creative process. This changes the way I approach design, and I do not need to start from scratch; I can start from somewhere to make it better.

I agree with this sentence that people are inherently creative within the bounds of their experience. This perspective reminds me how valuable it is to include diverse voices in the design process, since different backgrounds bring different insights. However, I also think there’s a limit to relying only on what people think they need. Sometimes they don't know what's possible or how to express it clearly, so combining their input with thoughtful interpretation is key.

This text hits personally. It reminds me of all of the ethnicities that I am and always makes me proud of my roots. Although all of my grandparents are immigrants they are all from different stretches of land: Russia, the Philippines, and Mexico.

This reminds me of the mission during the early stage of the New World when Europeans aimed to Christianize Native Americans and demolish the religion and customs of the their culture. The incentive may be similar in the sense that both dominating groups seek to modernize their society.

This reminds me of a book I've read once, The Age of Magical Overthinking, where the introduction touches on how people seem to inherently desire to think "magically" through superstition or other means for a variety of reasons from absolving responsibility to making sense of what doesn't make sense. This makes me think that this particular trait extends beyond the superstition and into why people seem so interested in rumors and conspiracy theories inherently

It reminds me Bilibili in China. It was a very friendly platform for people who like anime. However, with more traffic and people come to it, it become a very complex and chaotic platform filled with unhealthy memes and problematic content.

I feel like this reminds me of how streaming works nowadays. It has less regulations than TV or radio because of how new the technology is, and at first, it seemed like that didn't matter at all because it seemed like the big companies were allowing consumers to take even more control into what we watch, how, and when. However, as time has gone on, it is clear that this deregulation has caused a lot of problems for consumers and even people working in the industry. Actors, directors, and production members are not getting residuals from their work despite it being watched by millions, companies are taking shows and movies off their services to save costs (even though their services were supposed to make watching content easier for consumers), and every company has their own service which makes paying to watch everything more expensive than having cable TV.

This concept has already been discussed in our lectures, with the word "objectionable" replacing "offensive" in this case. Our lectures defined this type of programming as material that would prevent audiences from switching channels and keep them engaged. In this context, it is implied that anyone who wasn't straight, white, or male was "objectionable". It's not shocking that America did not care to see minorities on their TV screens. This connects to the constant struggle for positive minority representation, and how it seemingly stems from the American majority not wanting to see people of color, women, or queer people on their televisions. Addtionally, since I'm in PR, this reminds me of the concept of marketability, and how influencers of color have a harder time scoring brand deals and partnerships because mainstream audiences do not resonate with them.

This is an interesting comparison, and as the remainder of the sentence puts it, truly demonstrates the contempt that TV evokes from people. It reminds me of the the common phrase "TV rots your brain". Personally, I would argue against television not being a key facilitator in social change. The role the television has played in shaping American culutre is far too signficant to downplay. The significance comes from TV's ability to relay messages in each program, with those messages informing audiences of societal values and instilling them into their minds.

This reminds me of what we talked about in class where they have one high ranking community member on the Mine poster and think that's all of the stakeholders.

Asking is a sign of seriousness

• sometimes I feel nervous to ask questions, but this reminds me that asking shows I care and want to do good work.

CH 6 , page 60

primary sources are the what of scholarship, while secondary sources are the so what. In academic writing, skill in handling both kinds of sources is essential

• This reminds me to take my time and really read my sources before writing. It’s not just about grabbing quotes but actually understanding them.

CH 6, page 58

This line really stood out to me. I like how the author reminds us that learning about inequality shouldn’t just be about facts—it’s about feeling something too. It’s so easy to become numb when we see injustice all the time, but that loss of empathy is dangerous. If we stop feeling, we stop caring, and that’s when real harm continues unnoticed. This quote is a powerful call to stay human in how we approach social issues.

This is quite true. It reminds me of an expression I have heard in the past which states that for the first 18 years of a child's life, there actions are a direct representation/mimicry of their parents that have raised them! This can include affluency, mannerisms, vernacular, etc...

reminds me of how i occasionally see that a file was "edited tomorrow" due to misconfigured time settings (though with interpretation of tine zones, i could imagine how this could be a feature!)

The point that Elon Musk made to back up his concerns with buying twitter was the amount of bots on the platform which reminds me of chapter 3 that we went over on monday. He originally was buying the platform with the assumption that the majority of users are humans so I can understand why he took a step back when finding out about how many bots there are, especially when its billions of dollars on the line.

     This article from The Onion is a satirical replication of the aforementioned "pernicious ignorance" one may have when deciding to post about travel abroad experiences they have had without regard for the implications of posting other people online. It highlights the traveler's cognitive dissonance between valuing the confidentiality of the people/children they meet/help and their own want for praise and recognition for a good deed. This reminds me of, and I feel is similar to, the question of whether or not babies should be posted online or not, by their parents or others. The posters may think it is harmless and what matters is the joy they'll feel when others see this cute baby, but the baby that grows up may feel very uncomfortable with the fact that a significant portion of their childhood was documented online for people to see.

This chapter reminds me that when we use data to look at problems, we are actually simplifying the real thing. For example, when we count apples, we treat each one as the same, but in fact each apple is different in size, color, and taste. And when we record other people's words, we can't hear the tone and emotion, only the words are left. It strikes me that while data makes things clearer, it sometimes makes us miss important details. So should we pay more attention to these neglected things in the future?

These paragraphs tell us that it is important to collect comprehensive data, think about the impact of relevant parties, and considering the groups that are easily overlooked before making decisions. This reminds me of cyberbullying in the society today. Lots of people only listen to one side of the story. They get emotionally stirred up by comments on a popular influencer’s social post and end up participating in online bullying against the other group. This kind of behavior stems from a lack of critical thinking and the unwillingness to investigate the truth from multiple perspectives, which can have serious consequences.

This similar theme kind of reminds me of one of my songs by Green Day which is "Jesus of Suburbia". While the struggles are different I would argue the attitude, angst, and context of cultural and political scenes share a similar ground in that sense...

This comment really resonates with me because it reminds me of the "Si se puede!" line of the UFW which were also a large movement of Chicano culture and one I can especially relate to since I had family who were directly involved with this during the Delano Drape Strike.

This reminds me of how teachers or parents teach little children who might not understand the meaning of simple words like cat. This is why children books use pictures and sounds so that they can associate them with a specific word.

This reminds me of some of the discussion we had in class about body cues and the various things that can be picked up from those slight changes. This also got me thinking about which one of these three learning theories applied to my life. I never reacted to reward and stimulus the same way I reacted to body language and cues.

Using this as an example reminds me of how the sites that colleges use for assignments such as canvas could also be deemed as a form of social media. Not only do much classes have discussion posts were students can share ideas, but they can also email eachother through the website. This ideology opened my mind to how many things could be considered social media.

This reminds me of a polisci class I took 2 quarters back, in which Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus was introduced to me. Students from working-class or immigrant households carry cultural dispositions misaligned with institutional expectations, and this mismatch contributes to disengagement and internalized failure. At home, I was once taught to listen, never challenge elders (because they always have more wisdom), and keep my head down. At school, success meant speaking up, asserting opinions, and networking. It took me years to unlearn silence, at least now I am comfortable calling out what I disagree with my family elders.

This reminds me of topics that I've learned in previous classes- Specifically surveillance capitalism and the digital panopticon. These notions, in relation to the ethics of bots, creates a rather interesting contrast because on the one hand, the argument can be made in favor of the bots as the bots themselves are nothing more than programs that are following a code while surveillance capitalism is a form of business done by advertisers and scientists with express disregard for privacy. Both should definitely be regulated, especially based on how they're used.

from my perspective, this makes sense because when I’ve learned best, it’s been through a mix of methods. The cognitivist side reminds me of when I try to understand patterns and rules in a language, while the constructivist approach shows up when I’m building meaning through real conversations. I can even see behaviorist aspects when I repeat phrases and get corrected like drilling vocabulary until it sticks. Communicative approaches seem to reflect how learning actually feels for me, messy, interactive, and grounded in experience, not just theory

This reminds me that in this kind of learning, I’m alwasy conscious of what I’m trying to understand, I’m not just absorbing something passively. Since I’m actively thinking about the material, I often expect to learn it in a specific way with a clear, correct interpretation. When the sentence says this usually happens in classroom settings, it makes sense to me, those are the environments where I’ve most often felt like learning had one correct or right answer.

This reminds me a lot of immersion because they are not relying on classes to learn these languages but instead surrounding themselves with media from these languages, giving them a more diverse view of the language. classes learn languages slowly and little parts at a time. Starting with little things like how to say actions but polyglots focus more heavily on the language entirety all at the same time. I also wonder if this over time, makes it easier to learn the next language.

"Still, the women 'were excellent,' possessed of a 'beauty no Painter can express.' p. 12

The clarification should be 'no white European painter could express' because the complexions and bodies of Africans were incongruent with the complexions and forms of bodies they would have been familiar with.

It reminds me that many of the subjects and items we interact with today always use someone (or a specific group of people) as the basis of the design or insights (i.e. how medicine identifies acceptable levels of pain-tolerance often on the basis of fairer complexions or how facial recognition tends to be more accurate with fairer complexions over darker ones); these are intentional and a result of who is used as the example or placeholder for medicine, technologies and so on.

This reminds me of whats going on right now in the government and i could make a good podcast connection to current time with musk/trump rn

This point reminds me of our discussion in class about whether or not a "gifted person" in language learning exists. This point seems to drive the answer no for me. I agree with that as language learning is a combined set of skills therefore no one can be "gifted" in it like maths or sciences.

This line real stuck out to me as someone who studies PR and Advertising at UT. It reminds me of the subtle cues used in ad campaigns or videos. Color, music, slogans, design, or shocking add ins can reach components of attitude that most people don't even realize.

This reminds me of the video on Elaboration Likelihood Model. People that use the Central Route Process think deeply about things and are able to weigh the pros and cons to make this decisions and behaviors.

This implies that elephants have developed in such a way that they come to rely on these customs and forms of order to adequately function in the world. Such conventions offer certain adaptive advantages, but they also then restrict the life of these creatures to these forms of order. Reminds me of Rousseau's discussion on science and technological advancement.

this part just reminds me of the other piece where he talked about photos and how they capture the raw emotions and moment that happened.

This reminds me of an experience I had in high school where one of the teachers were the complete opposite. He was extremely woke. Some of my friends and I put together a band act to perform for halloween. We were going to perform a popular halloween song called "Spooky Scary Skeletons," but he stopped us, claiming that the word "spooky" had deeply racist connotations and were historically meant to degrade Black people. Yet, no one I knew was aware of this. In the end, it was ruled out that since we had no ill intent, we could perform the song. I am still shocked about this incident to this day.

This reminds me of a text I read for a Theory class last semester. It talks about how the personal is political. The two are interlocked and intersected. And as I mentioned in my earlier annotation, I do think education is very personal, which in turn makes it political

This kind of reminds me of how people try to be "race-blind" when educating students, but in a way, this kind of discounts the experiences that they go through. The cultural aspects and environment that each student goes through gets completely ignored even if it is important to understanding their learning style or behavioral patterns.

This reminds me of when I watched the movie "Freedom Writers". Which hispanics, asians, and blacks were deemed as at-risk teenagers. They came from family or relations to gang violence, drug abuse, abuse, broken homes, etcs and the school treated them as a waste of resources. Only those who could afford a better education had a chance at a better life and it showed it. Their 5th grade reading level proved that those who came from nothing had a harder time of making it anywhere without a support of an education or a system that cared.

Reminds me of Arendt. Humans are unwilling to accept differences and wish to make others conform
