  • “researchers are concerned that when screen time goes up, empathy goes down. Kids are exposed to violence in video games, which can desensitize them to pain in others, bullying, and acts of violence. The ease of online friendships – you can just move on to another friends if someone is bugging you – can make real-life relationships too frustrating.

      As I read this article, I feel like I'm not falling into a clear-cut Millennial category. I'm in my twenties, but I'm married, I have a child, and I have a religious faith, and I don't have any piercings or tattoos (I guess I am just not trendy at ALL, haha). This category of people who are enrolled in grad school because of the competitive job market is the first criterion that I fit into!

    "Users can sign up for a free account, share their own work, and access and curate their own content via their account." --I wonder if there is any way to casually peruse some of these OER materials without having to create an account. I want to know what I'm signing up for before I sign up for it!

    "Extremists of all stripes are increasingly using social media to recruit, radicalize and raise funds, and ISIS is one of the most adept practitioners of this approach...." --I thought this seemed relevant as I prepare to sign up for my first ever Twitter account for this class. Social networks are increasingly being used for purposes other than just casually connecting. Who would have thought that Twitter would ever be used as a platform for an extremist military group to spread their propaganda?
