Big Data Source Collection

For this source, I looked over the entire thing and highlighted anything I thought would be useful for my argument. I did not do any text to self connections as this paper we are moving away from connections to self.

I did the same things as before but really focused on finding quotes to back up my argument.

This source was different then a lot of others because it was more of a list with a small piece of text describing the incident. I used a mix of chunking to group all of the common things together and then I used active reading to better understand and relate everything back to my main argument.

Does Social Media Take Over Your Life?

“She also observes that most students are using their cell phones for taking pictures, texting, or sharing a screen image with a friend; in contrast, most of the adults in attendance are more fixated on their screens and less social with others around them(2).”

“She contends that although the social media platforms may vary and change, the reasons that teens use social media stay constant, such as independence (21), friendship (18), and identity (17) and social media help to fulfill their need to interact publicly (8).”

“Many adults I meet assume that their own childhoods were better and richer, simpler and safer, than the digitally mediated ones contemporary youth experience…The research I present here suggests that the opposite is often true” (16).

These were the three main quotes of the summary I feel, epically the third one here. I really feel like that quote is what completes her point of view because it is often our parents that get upset with social media.

The active reading style with these texts was something that I did not find effective. I was analyzing certain things more than others but at the same time I was only looking for connections, I wasn’t actually reading the text.

For this assignment of annotating I highlighted everything that I thought could be important, this is what I usually do because personally I’d rather highlight too much than too little. Also at the end I put down my personal opinion so I can come back and look right at that If I want to know how I was feeling.
