This is something I noticed popping up during the pandemic as well. I would see videos or hear about people who would have to go to a store or coffeeshops in order to do their schoolwork since everything went remote and online for a lot of schools.

I connected this to the ideas mentioned in paragraph one of page four, with how people are able to archive messages or interactions and how that opens the door to things being taken out of context, or information that wasn't meant to be shared showed to others.

This idea is something that I've thought of a few times before, and that is where and how do you define being actually social. I think one way to explain how the idea of being social or alone in situations like the ones listed is mainly in context, but with the idea of physical proximity being less important. One way I think it being social could be shown is that you may feel alone in a waiting area or lobby even though there are people around you; but if you are texting your friends or emailing your coworkers that could be seen as being social still. However if you were at a party with your peers and are just stuck on your phone interacting with people through social media, then that would be unsocial.

I think that being taught growing up digital literacy and safety has made me always aware to the idea that once you put something out on the internet, it can never fully go away. It's interesting to think how people who were first using the internet as a form of social media might not have been aware of this, and done things they regret or would have preferred to keep private. I know one example of this would be my friends old instagram accounts with pictures or captions they posted when they were younger that we laugh at now.
