With each article online, I look at them differently. I don't use the same approach each time which can mean I'm not always finding the reliable sources.

Some people will believe everything they read and see and if that doesn't change in the future, democracy might be at stake. Sun, 28 Oct 2018 18:44:11 -0400 lateral approach https://nowcomment.com/documents/117211?scroll_to=1142637 https://nowcomment.com/documents/117211?scroll_to=1142637 I never thought of looking at a source's reliability in this way. I always read the full source and then decide on it's reliability at the end. This seems like something I should do in the future to make sure that I find a source that I can trust. Someone can easily add PhD to their name and use sophisticated words and fool all the readers. Mon, 29 Oct 2018 11:47:05 -0400 I personally don't check my phone very often so I don't think this statistic actually is the "average teen." https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1111106 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1111106 Mon, 24 Sep 2018 13:32:45 -0400 ages used https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097734 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097734 I also think it's odd that the study doesn't include older teens. I think your idea of the study only including "kids" and not "adults" could be why, but I think it would've been more interesting if they used all teens instead of just the younger teens. Sun, 16 Sep 2018 15:25:28 -0400 social media networks https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097732 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097732 I think it's crazy how much of a shift social media has made in the past six years. It doesn't seem like it'll be long before Facebook will be unused because of teens not preferring to use it. Sun, 16 Sep 2018 15:22:58 -0400 putting away devices https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097729 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097729 I don't think this is surprising because I have a lot of friends that leave their ringers on at all times. I personally find this annoying when their phone's going off constantly. I always have my phone on silent and keep my phone away from me as much as I can. Sun, 16 Sep 2018 15:19:31 -0400 social media use https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097727 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097727 I completely believe that tech companies design the apps, such as Facebook, so more people will spend more time on the app. On YouTube, they've made the next video auto play to keep the user on YouTube. They also try to put more video the user may like to keep them watching more. Sun, 16 Sep 2018 15:17:38 -0400 I also like to have social media to stay connected to my friends. I can see what they're doing based on their posts even if I haven't had the chance to talk to them for a while. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097697 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097697 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 19:58:58 -0400 I understand why hate speech is very common to come across now. A lot of people feel more open to sharing their opinions in the comments on a video or post when they could decide to keep that information to themselves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097695 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097695 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 15:10:37 -0400 I feel the same way about this. I tend to get distracted very easily with my phone next to me while doing homework. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097693 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097693 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 15:08:39 -0400 It really is sad that kids don't like to communicate face to face anymore. I relate with that. It is easier to send a text to someone because it can be more convenient for both parties. https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097691 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097691 Sun, 16 Sep 2018 15:07:31 -0400 hate speech and cyberbullying https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097689 https://nowcomment.com/documents/111909?scroll_to=1097689 This is not surprising to me at all. There is a lot on the news that has to do with hate content against a certain group of people. What does surprise me is that hate speech is rising and cyberbullying is less common. Cyberbullying is a form of hate speech. Teaching kids to not say anything negative online is a good way to keep everyone safe from hate. Sun, 16 Sep 2018 15:02:19 -0400
