Summary and Analysis

3/20/17
Summarizing the documentary really helped me properly summarize this article; it was pretty cool to see that I had picked up a few skills from that project and was able to use them in this summary. It was as bit different in terms of format since this one was an actual article, and its so hard to paraphrase without analyzing and without taking the author's words verbatim.

The article I did is quite unique, as I was originally looking into finding something that had to do with how social media make us unapproachable but the article I found was much more focused on the monetary inequality which is associated within social media. The author discusses how advertisers make lots of money from users as compared to the amount of advantage users get from social media. This article posed disagreement from my part, so I chose it because it seemed challenging to analyze and decipher it.

The problem is not so much with summarizing but more so analyzing it without showing my own bias, I hope to develop the skills to analyze this through peer review and help from Dr. Kyburz.

The results of my Microtheme were not as favorable as i had hoped but i am optimistic to bring my skills into this assignment.
