Welcome to the Internet I'll be your guide. One task for the semester will be to imagine the future of digital culture. But first we need to learn something of its history. This image stands as a good reminder that both our tech and our imaginations have changed since the rise of the internet.

A Bad Novel, and Maybe a Useless Novel, but it’s not a Book Full of Lies
The disclaimer at the beginning of this novel really sets the tone for this book, and gives you an idea of what to expect throughout the reading. Even if some of the “triggers” as Kobek says are only mentioned in passing it is appropriate for this book as it could be triggering. The book opens …

This is a bad review.
Back when I first began reading pieces of I Hate The Internet, I honestly thought it was one of the worst books I had read in a while. The title of the book, the "trigger warning" and first chapter did draw me in to want to read, but after the third chapter I was fairly …
Its Ya Boi
I Just Wanna Know Why
This book is exactly what author, Jarret Kobek, says it is, bad. This book is about a comic book writer named Adeline. She gets into trouble on the internet like many women, young and old, she had an opinion and said it out loud. The plot, if you can even call it such, follows her …
Data Collection….yikes.
Essentially, I only seem to post on social media when I am traveling somewhere. Twitter is the only exception.
Staying in touch
I am now a junior at UL and most of my family and close friends live about three hours away (im from Shreveport). This was hard when I first started college because I had never been this far away from family before, but thanks to social media I can stay in touch better. I have …

Disappointed in the Amount of Time I Spend on Social Media :)
Twitter A site of pure insanity which I rarely use, but appreciate. Instagram A lot of my life has been posted on my Instagram account through out the years. Mostly lame pictures of me and my stupid adventures. Facebook The older I get, the more time I spend on Facebook. I don't know why this …

Dirty Phone Lens to Instagram Designer
I started college studying Industrial design. Industrial design is a relatively small field and not widely known. As a quick primer industrial design is essentially the design of manufactured goods, and this design comes from aesthetics as well as logistics such as useability and manufacturing constraints. As a highly visual line of work Industrial designers …

Through the process of finding information about myself, I was able to gather information about stuff that I already knew online about myself as well as learning new information. I noticed that when I google my name, there are people who have the same name as me or is very similar to my name. I …
NOT a VSCO girl!
While many of my posts on social media may be redundant and express my most basic twenty year old female self, my social media does tell a story. My VSCO tells an accurate story of my life from my senior year of high school to my sophomore year of college. The collection of images I …
The Reality of My Life
So, I spend most of my time on the Internet. Whether it be for personal use, work, or school related, I'm almost always using the Internet. See for yourself.
People love hating the internet!
Is the internet filled with necessary negative content? If so, is it worth it? Jarett Kobek’s novel, I Hate the Internet, thoroughly reiterates the cons of the internet in our society. The first chapter opens with an extreme derogative comment concerning the main character, Adeline. This quote read, “Dear slut, I hope that you are …
Disabled Accounts
https://www.instagram.com/myamigos_/ Yes, that was my Instagram account. A month or two ago is when I made a switch away from the social media world. It was a very hard decision to make because 1. It kept me entertained, 2. I was being social, and 3. I was constantly updated on news. The reason behind my …

My Stressful Love for Football.
As you can see, it can be a very stressful life. So stressful to the point where I sometimes wish I never got into sports to begin with. This is just a small sample size though, I used to have a much harder time dealing with the stress of close games and the agony of …

Growing the Mane: 2016-Present
I have been trying to grow my hair for years. I would chemically straighten my hair because it was presumed by others that it would be “easier” to manage. At seven years old was the first-time my hair was chemically straightened, and this was not my decision nor my mother's, but another family members. I …
3.5 Out of 4
For me, my three and half years at UL have felt a lot like riding the Tower of Terror at Disney World; there's been a lot of very high highs, deep low lows, and overall, I'm just ready to get off this stupid ride. So if I have to ride this stupid ride, I'm going …

Where Is The Real?
When analyzing publications on the internet about yourself, there seems to be a common theme, highlights. The internet seems great at achieving just that, glances into a lifestyle that you want to portray. Instagram is the best example of "Highlighting" an individual's life. In both of these screen captures, the post is focused on a …
