Great presentation Ailsa, I thoroughly enjoyed how you made connections to what is happening right now to us during this quarantine. The way you made the PowerPoint was right to the point, yet it had enough information to make us understand it. Before I read the reading, I looked at your PowerPoint and then when I went back to the reading and as I was reading it, I could see all the main points that you pulled from the reading. This was a very good presentation, great job!

Hi Andrea! Thank you so much for the kind response on my post. I find it interesting that this reading and so many of the other reading correlate so closely with our current situation. Lately I have found myself worrying about my screen time and being proud of myself for “disconnecting”. The reading put everything in perspective for me and has helped me to understand the reality of the online and offline. Thank you!! 🙂

I really enjoyed your PowerPoint, it was simple and to the point. Your PowerPoint definitely covered the main points of the reading, and it went in an order that made it easy to understand. I agree that life without offline would not exist online. Especially right now, people only have the internet and news in order to see what is happening in real life. This reading explained that very well.

Very interesting presentation! I was intrigued throughout the whole PowerPoint, I enjoyed the grayscale aesthetic as well. Anyways, I believe the reading was a tad puzzling. Making the accusation of offline and online lifestyles being the same would catch anyone off guard in my opinion. I disagree with their claims, for social media is communication with others through a medium other than face-to-face, whilst offline is the exact opposite. It is accurate to state one cannot live with the other but I find it strange to make that presumption. The proof would lie in everyone’s emotional state during this quarantine versus being in social environments beforehand. Great job!

Hi Mikey!! Thank you for the kind comment. I’m glad you enjoyed my powerpoint. I definitely struggled to understand what the author was going for and I still don’t know if I really agree. I think he is onto something with the dependency of the online on the offline, but I think the way he supported his claims was a bit of a stretch. It’s great to hear another opinion because I was unsure of how I felt about the article as a whole. Thank you!

Going through the reading, I found it kind of confusing how the author compared life online and offline. When I went back through your PowerPoint,I could pick out certain things within the reading and make more sense of them. You pulled the main ideas out very well. I am unsure of whether or not I agree being offline would not exist online because the entire point is quite confusing. Overall, it was an amazing PowerPoint that helped clarify some of my confusion. Great job Ailsa!

Thank you, Olivia! It definitely took me a while to pick apart the reading and understand what the author was going for. I also am unsure if I agree with his opinion. I think to an extent he is right, but he sort of took the online and offline dependency too far and I think it’s a bit of a stretch.

I liked your presentation a lot. It was easy to understand and relate to the reading. I agree that offline and online depend on each other to survive. Also I liked how it mentioned how people love to say that they don’t have social media. People also love to post that they’re taking a break from social media. All in all good presentation!

Ailsa, I loved your presentation. It was very well put together. I love how you put a great amount of information but, it wasn’t so much that it was overwhelming. It related very well with the reading we were assigned. It was interesting to think about how social media depends on offline experience as well as online. It was also very interesting that the reading could correspond with what we are dealing with today. I have found that many presentations that people put together once quarantine started were able to relate to what we are dealing with. We find ourselves spending most of our time binge watching Netflix or scrolling through social media. Due to the quarantine it is harder for us to disconnect. I was getting lost when I started to think about the points in the reading. I just can’t understand how you can’t disconnect from social media without it still having to relate to being online or still connected. I feel that an individual can disconnect fully if they wanted to. You do not always have to be online in life. I do understand that a majority of people are so focused on their phones these days. In the reading when it said “count the folks using their devices on the train or bus or walking down the sidewalk, or, worse, crossing the street oblivious to drivers who themselves are bouncing back and forth between the road and their digital distractors.” This quote stood out to me because it really shows how we are so distracted by cellular devices. The reading is correct by saying that while being offline we are not actually fully disconnected. Like you said offline and online are related. For example many people like to capture moments with pictures. They will then sometimes post these picture online and create their offline experiences into online. I do feel though that if someone wanted to disconnect from being online they truly could. I had a neighbor when I lived out in Washington who had nothing to do with social media or even a phone. He kept to himself in the little town that we lived in. He is one of the examples of someone I knew who stays offline. Most people say that disconnecting and not having the media to influence you or distract you can change your life and may even cause it to be better. I feel that disconnecting is a healthy habit but, having a source to online isn’t such a terrible thing. It unites the world together in some ways. Great presentation it definitely got me thinking!

Ailsa, I really enjoyed your power point. It was concise and to the point. I felt like it followed the reading perfectly and made it better to understand. I agree that being offline would not exist online. People now need online to follow everything that is happening in our crazy hectic lives. Your PowerPoint helped me understand the reading better and see how it relates to us now. Great Post!!

Ailsa, great presentation. I think a ton of people are online all the time. Especially with this quarantine, my screen time is like 12 hours a day. But yeah you spitting some straight facts when you said that all online is, is stuff you experience in the offline. Like I’ll go on a walk and what do I do? I post it on social instead of experiencing it in real life. Online is the new irl. I enjoyed reading your PowerPoint. Great job Ailsa

Ailsa! I loved the information packed in this article and I loved the way you depicted the pride in not having social media that come from certain people. I actually did this with TikTok because I claimed that I didn’t want to conform to the societal preference of this app. I essentially thought I was the alpha and mature one because I didn’t download the app. However, since I did, I find myself loving most of the things that I see and I accept the fact that I was wrong, now. Offline is just as as important as online to some, as Jared said, when people go hiking, they post it on social media and it defeats the point of acting like your superior because of being outside versus online. It’s contradictory and such a concept that many people use as an excuse to not talk to others or do things online to connect with other people. Being different is okay, but acting superior because of not conforming isn’t. Great job with this analysis!
