Validity online


 How do you look for accurate information online, anyone can post anything online so how do you know if it is true? I have to go through my school library to look for peer-reviewed stuff because I know if I use anything else I will lose points on my assignments. When you search for anything usually the first thing is Wikipedia but now it’s an AI answer. How accurate is that AI suggestion, i would love to be able to just use the first thing I see and move one but what if it is wrong?

Online communities

Image
I have been a part of a lot of online communities, it was how i could connect to people that had similar interests to me. So like this blog is kind of an online community since online communities are virtual spaces where people with shared interests, goals, or values can connect, collaborate, and communicate, no matter where they are. These communities can take many forms, such as forums, social media groups, or specialized platforms, where people engage in discussions, share resources, or support/one another. It can be negative though, some people misuse these spaces and hurt people. Online communities often provide a sense of belonging and can become powerful networks for personal and professional growth, education, and activism. However, they can also face challenges like misinformation, trolling, and conflicts over differing opinions, which can cause some negative interactions. So online communities can be very helpful and welcoming but there can be people who are only there to do ...

Producer or consumer

Image
Do you produce as much as you consume online? I know that depending on the platform I definitely consume more than I produce. I can say that for this platform (the one you are reading this post on) I definitely produce more than I observe. I only post on here, I don’t really look at other people’s blogs. But I can say on Instagram I’m kind of equal I’ll go on to post about a cosplay or something but then I’ll scroll for a bit. And on TikTok I definitely doom scroll all the time, I rarely post on TikTok, I will post a completed cosplay but that’s about it. I also just don’t have the time to constantly post things on social media. It’s very time-consuming and I have to think about what I’m posting and how people will react to it. Even doing these blog posts can be exhausting to me, I feel like I have to meet a certain word count or it has to look good and have to mean something.

preservation

How are things in your life preserved? It is mostly digital now, I remember being able to go through many picture books that my nan made of her kids and grandkids. That is how she preserved her memories, she wanted my mom to have those pictures and memories in a physical way. Now it just seems like everything is online. Like if I wanted to show my friend an old picture of me I would just have to go on my mom’s Facebook and scroll through her photos and find a digital picture. I have printed a few photos and I have one of those cameras that prints the photo right there but I don’t do it consistently. I could easily lose all of it but I just don’t really do anything about it, I’ll feel bad if I do lose it but I also just don’t have the time or money to go printing everything out.
