This post is a continuation on multiple previous posts from fellow classmates.\u00a0 Many of them have suggested that social media accounts are a representation of themselves, offering to the public only the aspects of their lives that they consider positive.\u00a0 These presented selves are not the reality, and are just references to their “redeemable” qualities.\u00a0 Whether or not this is the case, I would argue that it is impossible to display every detail of your life on to a social media page.\u00a0 With that in mind, it makes sense to post only experiences and traits that are buoyant.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week we discussed Big Data and possible definitions for the term.\u00a0 I believe Rei brought up that perhaps Big Data is something that is collective, as in not pertaining to the individual.\u00a0 I believe that this is true if you must be able to draw “on large data sets to identify patterns in order to make economic, social, technical, and legal claims.”\u00a0 (Boyd and Crawford 663) That is because we cannot feasibly document the individual to an extent that would be considered large data.\u00a0 There is so much information on an individual that they themselves may be unaware of.\u00a0 For me personally, I am sure that there are plenty of important aspects of my life that I have forgotten or was never aware of.\u00a0 I imagine that this value would be infinite.\u00a0 If it were possible to analyze each thought, interaction, and choice of a person, I believe that would be large a enough data set.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
