Talk:Micah Beller
Comment #1: Micah, I really enjoyed reading about your experience on Facebook over the years; it encouraged me to reflect on how much differently I use the platform now compared to when when I first joined. The notion that you subtly express about how your behavior and persona on the site gradually changed over time was interesting insofar as how it addressed the question of how and to what degree this took place naturally as you matured or as a result of having an increasing number of digital interactions and a growing online presence -- both on Facebook and elsewhere. The central question you explore in the text is that surrounding how, why, and what possible long-term effects could stem from neglecting to “align” the variety of avatars that exist of you found scattered throughout your Facebook history. This is an extremely profound line of thought and one that I fear not many people care to consider, thinking that just because the content isn’t readily visible, it’s not accessible, which as we both know happens to be a serious misconception. The “Top Posts by Year” section was a creative idea and really brings into focus the steadily expanding social connections and experiences you accumulated over the past nine years. Your avatar summary was nicely constructed, void of any serious grammatical or typographical errors, and displayed plenty of forethought and reflection about your experience on the site. My one recommendation for improving the overall feel and impact conveyed by your avatar would be to stray slightly more into the ethical implications that your decisions while using the platform might have had on you in the past, presently, and into the future. All in all, great work!
