This module has been very helpful with my practical skills. We don't often get a chance to use programs and be creative with our work and this module has allowed me to experiment and develop skills that will certainly be of use in the future #mcs204

By participating in online activities we are greeing to being monitored. Surveillance online is unavoidable yet many people manage to get away with things behind presumed anonimity. But simply by clicking our browser button we are allowing others to watch our activities. #mcs204

The internet being portayed as having agency can still be found today but in a different form. This can be observed in how the developing of trends online is now seen as a natural unfolding of things rather then economical and social choices taken by individuals. #mcs204

In the past people used to make attributions of agency directly to the internet. It is easy to blame the object rather than seeing our ownmistakes behind the use of the object. It' not 'the internet' it's those who use it and the use they make of it. #mcs204

There are different imitation levels to memes, in some cases is the subject, in others is the format or the stance taken by the subject. People can imitate layers of meme, modify and share them further in their changed form. You could say a meme never stops evolving. #mcs204

What I like about memes is that often to me are an inside joke with a restricted part of the internet that gets it. Understanding the concept of meme itself is already restricting and cuts away a big part of interent users, usually older generations. #mcs204

There seems to be a struggle with psychological factors in telegraphy. Humans assign meanings to messages while machines simply decode and according to Hartely eradicating human factors is the best possible way to set up a definite quantitavive measure of information. #mcs204

There are identities tied to self-titled 'geeks'. To be able to perform a geek identity one has to have access to a set of privileges that the reading suggests are mostly only available to middle class white men, perpetuating the exclusivity of technical cultures. #mcs204

Quite surprising how our perception of the word 'geek' is changing throughout the years. I remeber it being used as weakness, a way to make fun of others, but in recent times it's being increasingly used to indicate mastery, academic or technical knowledge. #mcs204

By participating and observing flows we strenghten the ideologies those flows enable. Often social media users are seen as quite passive but this chapter suggests that just by minimally engaging with social media flows users are actively reinforcing the current system #mcs204

Much of what we perceive as 'flow' should be perceived in other terms. Flow is one of the relatiosnhips that have been made possible by today's global digital enviroment. To be looked at, they all require technological pluralism and different methodological approaches. #mcs204
