Brand twitter is a quite ridiculous part of marketing where a lot of accounts that are meant to advertise a certain company/product try to interact with others on the platform. There are many examples of this on the internet where certain brands would either poke fun of one another or post a strangely specific/realistic scenario that the brand itself could not experience. It was popularized around 2018 since it is a way to make the brand seem more human but it has made some people upset. Some believe that it is a cheap cash grab and seems like brands are trying too hard to be relatable while others think it’s just a fun way thing to come across online.

I feel like the way that you change yourself based on the people that you are with. Personally, I am very different between my family, friends, peers, teachers, etc. I don’t believe that I am pretending to be someone else in most of the scenarios, it’s just that I am different in those environments. In a way, they might compromise my authenticity but overall, it is just the way I perceive myself in those situations since I still have underlying traits that make me who I am.

It’s interesting seeing how the different social media sites can create connections between multiple people. I feel like it’s one of the most important aspects of social media which makes it interesting seeing how different some sites are. Some don’t have formal connections, some offer one way connections such as subscriptions or followers, and others have long forums with a certain topic that allows many to speak about such topic.

The man who created endless online scrolling understands the addictive nature of social media and how he affected it with his creation. Social media has been heavily present in the last few decades but it has recently been ramped up due to such tactics. Infinite scroll makes it super easy to want to look at the next thing on your page since it is such an easy action. Eventually, you keep scrolling, trying to search for a dopamine rush but you just waste minutes, if not hours, of your time.

This is an interesting dilemma that I’ve noticed on example such as standardized testing or websites. The most noticeable solution is to place the first letters of your name and let the other identifying features such as your social security number or address let people know your full name. Though, it still is unfair that people have to deal with this since it could make people feel like their ancestors is weighing them down.

These examples of unclear examples are hard to understand and therefore answer. My parents immigrated from China to the US when they were extremely young which makes this question hard to decipher. A better way to ask this is where is your current residence which might still be confusing if you were on vacation but it should make enough sense for people to answer correctly.

I believe the goal for tech workers is to develop technology safely. It seems like there is a slippery slope that we are inching closer than ever towards. At this point where we have, as Kumail Nanjiani mentions, altering videos that could affect the reputation of public figures. The goal of tech workers should be to create the technology at a rate that is beneficial towards society while preventing any type of danger faced. An example of this could be harvesting materials such as wood, the goal should be to replenish the trees that are being garnered by lumber companies and machines.

In the article, it describes a Chinese worker constantly operating around 100 iPhones in order to inflate the amount of reviews and downloads for certain apps. It is a dystopian photo seeing how the woman is seen wearing a thick-layered yellow jacket and concealing her unused hand in a blanket sat on her lap. It shows how poor the working conditions are and how cold it must be inside the room she is in. According to the article, she is supposedly uninstalling and re-installing apps on each of the phones in order to increase the amount of downloads for certain apps. These increased downloads and artificially high ratings can give the app developers around $65,000 per week which is why this business is taking place.

I think most people’s expectations with bots are meant to be very face value and specific. There are usually particular usages for most bots on the platforms such as sending spam messages in the comment section or tweeting an advertisement to a crypto-platform. But this leads to people ignoring the bots almost like they aren’t even present. In my personal experience, I’ve seen the bots that copy and paste another person’s compliment to the video and creator and I disregard the text. On the other hand, I try to listen to other humans that are on the platforms. Sometimes you can see similarities in people’s comments but most people online have unique backgrounds and perspectives that can make listening to them more interesting. The main point that people’s expectations for bots and “normal” users are different is through the unpredictability of humans compared to bots.

The idea that something is right or wrong because God(s) claimed it to be does not see how the world has evolved over time. For example, the Bible, which is what many point to when referring to the Divine Command Theory, was believed to be written thousands of years ago. There are some moral truths stated but overall the amount that things have changed over multiple centuries is paramount. Similarly, the interpretations can be taken in many different directions because of how much of religious text is up for interpretation. It is unfair to strictly focus on the words written in religious text due to their age and lack of clarity in specific examples.
