This week I’ll be providing some theories behind the popular scales of introversion and extravertion that have been prevalent on the internet and in real life for years. In my early teens, I hinged much of my personality on being an introvert (which was further reinforced by thinking I was...
For our final mini assignment, we have to make an infographic describing our online identity. I chose to focus on the main 4 social media sites I currently use, divided into how I browse and create content on each. I find the contrast between Tumblr and Twitter to be especially...
