Mark Andrejevic, the valorization and power of third party surveillance and technology

After reading this article on Mark Andrejevic’s book, and from having read Andrejevic’s book personally, I want to comment on some of the ways technology mediates surveillance in our daily lives.

A stronger national and [...]

Can Social Media be ignored?

This week’s discussion on social media really opened my eyes to how powerful it has become and how immersed we have become in it.  So now can it be ignored?  After a recent trip to Career Services for resume help, a friend of mine was told that links to your presence in social networks (Facebook [...]
