Hi Sam, Love this piece! To begin with, I really like the structure of your media statement. The introduction paragraph immediately captures my attention, and it is concise. You start from a broader perspective (How tech influences society) and then narrow it down to an individual level in order to emphasize the nature of this problem- and I find that very interesting. In addition, I really find the distinction between one’s digital footprint accurately measuring their online embeddedness vs failing to accurately reflect their personality to be significant as I think it gives rise to ethical problems. All in all, the only thing that I can think of would be to incorporate additional concepts like ethical implications of this situation as well as how it relates to power dynamics. Overall, Great Work!

Hello Sam, it was interesting reading through your data identity statement and understanding how all of our data identity statements are so similar. Your overall structure of your writing gives your statement a good flow to it that makes it easy to understand and follow along with the several points you make. I especially like how you noted that your digital footprint is an inaccurate reflection of who you are since it cannot capture your life away from the screen. I thought it was a powerful ending sentence to your introduction and set the tone for the rest of the statement. Additionally, the subheading you used made it easy to understand what message your were trying to get across with your writing.
