Before taking this class, I was aware of how ingrained social media and technology are in the modern world. However, after taking this class I have realized just how much it has changed society and how much it will continue to change the world as it advances. For example, AI is a very new innovation and since its introduction to the mainstream, it has completely exploded and been the topic of most digital studies discussions. Through the class, I have become aware of ways of using technology to help me in my studies, not only this class but for other classes and life in general that will be able to help me. As a result, my sense of digital fluency has grown. I have become much more in tune with the world around me. I have started noticing what parts of my life revolve around technology or social media and what parts don’t. I have also become aware of how little of my life revolves around technology. I have grasped a new idea on what digital studies as a whole means and it has shaped the way I view the world and changed the way I accomplish work.
