We're Moving!

 

We’ve moved from mommy to family bloglines!

Find us at familybloglines.com


 

Renovation and Invitation:

 

About US: Exploring ethics and privacy matters influencing family life and practices.

Exploring how the internet/social media enables and disables dreams, daily practices, and relationships.  Who’s watching? Who’s talking? How much time are we spending/wasting?

 

Now that many of us have gone home again in these days of Covid-19, have we been assisted by social media or become more reliant on it? Have we leaned or caved in? Is authenticity now something we think of as a curated rather than lived quality?

 

About YOU: We want guest bloggers: we [might] want YOU!

 

Please contact us to pitch ideas for one- two- three – paragraph op eds that take up issues that arise when family  members go online.

What have we learned about blogging, Facebook, and Cambridge Analytica

Image
Concerns have been raised this past week by experts  about the amount of information being collected and dispersed by a few giant internet companies  after widespread reports  that U. K. - based Cambridge Analytica used data from more than 50 million Facebook accounts to influence the 2016 USA presidential election.   Folks are also starting to wonder how secure their personal information is on social media networks. News reports  claim that it increasingly depends on where people live and access the web on the planet.

I Believe Introductions are in Order : Claire

My name is Claire Renic and I’m a second year WGS/rhetoric student at the University of Winnipeg, with plans to continue my higher education in women’s studies, with a focus on sexology. Being born in the nineties means I am a child of the internet; my generation has grown up connected, and this sense of connection shows no sign of slowing down. My relationship with social media and screen is one of the longest term relationships I have to date. For as long as I can remember I’ve been interested in screen, which resulted in both parents implementing restrictions on the amount of “screen time” both my sister and I took in daily. In all honesty, I can probably count on one hand how many days those rules were abided by… but the battle over screen went on for years. When my sister and I first got cell phones, they had to be turned off and put downstairs for the night.... again, you can imagine how long that lasted.  Some of the earliest memories I have of screen

Hi F! What surprised me most about Blogher 2012?...

Hi F! What surprised me most about BlogHer 2012? Not beautiful, crowded hot summertime New York. I realized that a big blogging conference was made enjoyable for me because I went with a friend or companion– hey, that's a compliment to you! But here’s the critical observation: There was not enough content or programming, I don't think. Did we miss something? There were the halls, and we saw several interactive presentations. But I think they needed more workshops and presentations. What do you think? OR what surprised you most about BlogHer as an event? J
