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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
