BTW OMGG been meaning to for agess and had heard a few songs of it but finally earlier this week i listened to swayama in its full !!! its rly good but like. tbh thee first time i listening to it in fully i was a littlee bit disapointed for reasons entirely unfair to the album GHDHDF bc okay for context a while back i saw a post and like. in highsight it def wasnt in regards to sawayama bc that was released too early for it and was prob abt the album she released in like 2021? which i need to listen to tht too but i didnt know that at the time this happened DFHDFHD but the post was like. basically a fan of both rina and taylor posting a bit from an interview w rina basically saying she got motivated to write music during covid bc she saw taylor release folklore and thought if taylor was releasing an album thats about these fictional situations she could release an album about her real life but even tho it was like. about her being inspired by taylor there was still manyy ppl in the notes who where fans of rina but didnt like taylor seeing it as like a dig against her? and being like "omg yess rina taylor sucks ur sm better than her !!!" (which was kinda funny bc the person who posted it responded to that and im p sure they were like "yk rina is a taylor fan right" (but i dont fully remember that so that cld j not be true) but like. okay now i know better than to assume someones whose like. that Weird abt disliking taylor swift knows anything abt her actual music and its quality but i think i developed an attitude of like. if this is the kind of music that people who hate taylor swift base their superiority complex over taylors fans on then it has to be like. at least comparable to her music (and not j her music in general but FOLKLORE !! like im not a huge folklore girlie compared to some of her other albums but thats absolutely some of her best work ever cmon) and maybe this is a bit mean and im the only one who thinks this but like. it was really really really fucking good but like. imo specifically w like the lyricism it was again really really good but nottt as good as taylor esp folklore SORRY !!!!! but bc i had the comparison at the back of my mind i was a bit confused/disappointed when it wasnt (even tho again i had heard some of the album before i tihnk i j assumed that those where some of the weaker songs but theyre some of my faves tbh 😭😭) but then i lsitenied to ita but more spereatly and was like. wait this is really really fucking good like the whole album i was jsut unfairly comparing it to fucking folklore bc other ppl set up a whole rina >> taylor sepcfically folklore thing in my mind 😭😭😭😭 anyway id say my fave songs of the album as bad friend, chosen family, and tokyo love hotel but i also rly love whos gonna save u now, paradisin and dynasty (the last two more from an outsider pov than a relatabilty one bc i also got annoyed listening to dynasty the first time bc ppl made it out to be a fucked up relationship w ur parents song and yk part of that is on me for like. not assuming that "fucked up" means they dont think it relates to um. the much more accurate and intense term id (and u wld i just dont feel like using it Publicly yet yk) use to describe them FGFHGDFGFSD but still i was annoyed a bit at that but in hidnsight that was perhaps a lil dumb FHDFHDF)

NO THATS SO VALID there have def been times i did nottt like music for reasons like that which like may be theyre petty reasons but also theyre so real like. idk just ur so valid for that shnsbsdjsjs BUT YES chosen family and bad friend are 2 of my absoluteeee faves of that album and id also say i rlly like comme des garcons and stfu !!!!! but yesss honestly i shld relisten to the whole album soemtime:00

#but also now i rlllllly wanna relisten to folklore bcuz like . FOLKLORE............#castle.answers #mewtuals #im also not the biggest folklore girlie but like yeah the thing is its STILL so so good

Digital Media

Dear Future Comm 309 Students,

This Digital Media class as been quite a ride, it is quite informative and has been a pleasant experience for me. I learned about a lot from Professor Popescu. Before I only knew so much about the history of technology, but by indwelling yourself to read the textbook Superconnected: The internet, Digital Media & Techno-Social Life you will learn a lot from her class.

This class will help you become compatible with the technology we use everyday. It gives you the backstory on how the internet was develop and has advanced so much from the day the internet was first created. Superconnected also gives you a powerful insight on how we interpret the internet. We have so many ways on how we use the internet. Whether your on the internet to do research, go on social media, texting, making phone calls or anything else the internet is the way to go.

During this course, you are going to realize how much the internet has impacted our lives. The internet has made things possible. In this class, you are going to be able to search online and learn how to use technology in a effective way you didn't know before. If you didn't know how to navigate technology before you will in this class. You are going to learn and familiarize with terms such as Digital Media, Selfies and Social Capital. I know you probably know what some terms are, but some of them might surprise you in ways you didn't know about before.

I learned a lot from taking this class, before i didnt know the proper terms for all the local sites we log ourselves into. For example,

Digital Media provides individuals with platforms and tools that can be used to express all kinds of ideas and impulses. Blogs and social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit, Snapchat, and Tumblr encourage personal expression and content creation through text, photos, videos, and so on. With the development of those sites many individuals post, text, instant messaging (IM) to other people instantaneously. This has helped many people to stay in constant communication with others. Many people feel less bound by the physical restrictions online compared to communicating face to face. If someone wants to get in contact who lives in a different state or country communication via the internet is easier because the other party may not be reachable. Also, you can say things freely and be more playful when your online using the internet.

The second term we commonly use is called Social Capital

Social Capital- the networks of relationships among people who live and work in a particular society, enabling that society to function effectively. Meaning that people come together to help one another when they are in need of help on something. Many individuals are constantly on their phones, laptops, tablets, etc. There is no means to giving ourselves time away from technology. I’m constantly on my phone and laptop without these technologies is sort of hard for me to function.

Advertising yourself through Selfies

Selfies is a photo one takes of oneself that sends a message transmitting one’s feeling and often inviting feedback and attention. This action is always in constant motion many people have the tendency to take a pictures of everything they see. What I notice is that many individuals take pictures of oneself. Taking a picture of yourself makes you feel special. Say you look took the most epic photo yet and you just have to show it to everyone. After they take the photo many people put it on their social sites so many people to look on it. Another way people use selfies are taking pictures of their food to show to other people what they are eating. Sometimes the food looks so good and you dont want to eat it, but you do it anyway. If you take the photo you can always go back to it later if you took the photo compared to just eating it and never remembering what it looked like.

I believe the future students will enjoy learning from Professor Popescu because has helped me become a better student on how everything was developed and later used to help our society in learning on how to profusely use technology in the best way possible. I hope you guys enjoy yourself and learn about the new possibilities that are still to come since technology is always evolving.
