CALL WITH PEG:
Wanting to find a more clear direction to go with our project, like the idea and the experiments so far, hoping to collate them into a larger publication.
Privacy, data, would be nice if the book was big to show the wealth of content we've got and that there is on the internet.
Need some sort of narrative, what would this be?
Like the initial things with the text
Thinking about how magazines are broken up to not feel too repetitive.
Would be nice to have something like our thoughts in it.
3. Questionnaire
If the book had our conversations throughout these sections/chapters showcasing reason and providing a structure/narrative to assist the audience through the book.

2. How would you describe your relationship with social media?
Not addicted but like to check on a daily basis
Grudgingly addicted
I spend way too much time on there
More of a love/hate relationship
Don't use it much
Use Twitter about an hour a day, occasionally Facebook and Instagram
Probably spend to much time on it
Fairly on and off, sometimes love it, sometimes hate it
Love and hate
I've cut down my time spent on social media over the pandemic as I found it quite distracting/would find myself comparing myself to others
I am a watcher
Necessary
Use it a lot but don’t think massive issue. Good at putting down to get space in lockdown.
Mostly positive, partly negative
Conflicted. It brings so much information and inspiration to our fingertips that we could not dream of without it. I think this expansion of our minds and creativity is invaluable. However, the toxicity that comes with this; information overload, misinformation and unhealthy beauty standards is incredibly damaging and, unfortunately, I think we cannot have one without the other.
Fraught
reliant yet not important
Something I see as useful for staying connected and networking, but don't necessarily enjoy using it. Find it quite exhausting
I would say I'm pretty obsessed with checking it . I compare my self a lot to what other people are doing often which can sometimes get me down. I have recently began to really appreciate it from a different perspective where I find it a good source of inspiration for graphic design .
Love / Hate
Up and down
I’m fairly dependent on it
Explorative and inspirational
Love hate
Reasonable
i would say i have a healthy relationship with social media, mainly use it just to see what my friends are up to and keep up to date with thing going on around the world
Mixed
Pretty well balanced but on days I’m feeling alone/bad I probably turn to it too much
Measured
Habitual
Happy, It makes me feel inspired
Quite dependant for social interactions given the restrictions. Good for visual stimulus and checking in on friends
Think on average my relationship with social media is fairly healthy although I do feel like I scroll through Facebook too much...
I don't really like it; I only use it for work or staying in the loop, so I begrudgingly use it if I need to.
Positive, It’s a great way to stay in touch with friends and I also hope that it could begin my career within the food industry.
I feel bad for using it but do use it quite often. I frequently delete apps and then get them back after.
Good
Enhances my communication. Occupies me when im bored
Yes. I prefer to know who is looking at my stuff
Yes. I don’t like the idea of strangers seeing me or my friends or what I’m doing
No, I prefer to be able to communicate with people easily
Some yes others no, for things that are more personal like Facebook it is private as it’s got a lot more information about myself that I wouldn’t want shared publicly. However for the likes of Instagram and Twitter I choose to be more open in terms of privacy but that is because I can customise what I share in what is posted.
No, don't see the point of having my profile private as I don't even know how to do that
Yes, would rather not pad out my followers with bots
Most of them. I guess I just like to keep my accounts with my friends. Don’t want strangers on my accounts. Also safety I guess
No, I sometimes make my Instagram private but it’s usually not as I don’t mind people seeing my stuff
No, not sure how to make them private
My personal is private and my design one is public, I wanted to try and separate my design from my personal life/limit who could see my personal life
Yes because you don’t know who’s out there, looking at your private photos. Also, future employees could see me looking silly.
No- never bothered lol
Instagram yes as wouldn’t want everyone accessing my photos. Twitter know as think lots about connecting with people you don’t know.
Noo- may miss out on more potential followers
Yes, because I want to be able to post what I want without people I don’t want seeing/ judging (especially employers)
Yes. I'm scared of being judged by people I don't know
not private, i have nothing to hide, good for potential employment too
Personal Instagram is, design Instagram isn't, Twitter isn't - I keep my personal account private because I don't want people following me that I don't know and seeing where I live/went to school etc for safety reasons, and my design account are public because I want people to be able to find me and follow me and my work easily, and don't post about my personal life as much on them
Public - probably more from a vanity point because I want to get lots of followers
Yes, I started getting customers from work and spam accounts trying to add me and I preferred they didn't. Would rather have the option to filter through who follows me.
I have a private account for more personal stuff and a non private for more professional stuff so that more people can see my work
My one is private as I rather have the control and I get less creepy dm request that way
Personal yes (don’t want random people,) business is no (more exposure)
Not all of them, some very private
On insta yes, reduce the weirdos
yes. i don’t want certain people knowing about my life
Not, because I’m pretty open with my social media’s and have nothing I’d want people not to see, even got my family on them
Things like personal Instagram are private because it’s got pictures or me and friends and I don’t think that should be open for anyone to see without my friends’ consent - also, I just don’t think strangers are entitled to seeing my personal life. A second account I have which is more about nice photography is open because those are less personal and I want to share what I see with other people that might be interested
No, more followers if not private
Private-only want people I know to follow me
No, I don't generally mind people seeing my business tbh
My account has been private for a good few years due to weird/ spam accounts adding
Yes- I only want my friends to see stuff I post.
I don't know if they're set to private, but I keep my accounts quiet, and don't upload personal info or photos, as I don't like the idea of random strangers looking me up, or seeing photos of me.
No they’re not because I don’t post any photos that I would deem inappropriate for anyone to see.
Yes because it is safer for your accounts to be private
No, unsure why not probably should be
Yes all private. I think it is important to know who can see your profile and information and who cant
- Instagram: 64.1%
- Facebook: 5.1%
- Twitter: 23.1%
- Snapchat: 5.1
- I feel as though all of these platforms are amalgamating into one and nothing they offer is unique: 2.6% (1)
NA

A mix of politics and culture. So for instance, follow lots of politicians and political commentators as well as organisations and people in charity sector and academia as this relates to my interests and work. But also lots of people who follow similar pop culture and television to me e.g. ru paul’s drag race to state an obvious one. Basically so I get news and laughs in one place.

Friends

Just people I know really
My fave influencers like zoella
Mostly just my friends but more recently a lot more clothing and art accounts as it’s a good way to find sustainable and original fashion and art. Some celebrities but not loads. Would follow vegan influencers and certain things that specifically interest me, maybe fitness. Try to actively avoid following people purely for the way they look as I don’t think this has positive effects.
Influencers that just talk about their day
Friends, fashion, home decor, some celebrities, photography
Sports pages and athletes
Accounts to do with my profession and interests, such as design, furniture making, architecture etc etc, and then friends
Personal account I follow people I know, design account I follow people related to graphic design or account that inspire me design-wise

Friends accounts, celebrity accounts and artist accounts.
Friends
Friends, celebrities, funny meme profiles and general informative profiles
Varied content. Facebook for daily stuff, Instagram for photos, YouTube for learning
Facebook is nearly dead to me so just political stuff if there’s an election. Insta for hearing about activism/global news that hasn’t made it mainstream (then fact check if possible) mindlessly scrolling is Instagram. Nerdom is tumblr but I only check a few tags about comic book /tv characters
Instagram- Research/looking at graphics work
Twitter- BTS related content and graphics work
Facebook - a way of seeing what family and friends are doing
Instagram - aesthetic
Twitter - sport updates
NA
Twitter - humour, Instagram - people I know, memes, Facebook - mostly messenger.
Similar for all. Just to be nosey and because I’m bored. Except my photography account
Instagram - style inspiration and see what my friends are doing, Twitter - to see a bit of everything (politics, friends etc)
To pass the time
Instagram: design inspiration/sustainable living and fashion/infographics/keeping up with friends and family
Twitter: comedy/light politics/articles
Variation in dopamine rushes
Each one has different uses- instagram would be to show off how I’m looking, whereas twitter is to tell everyone what I really think of cancel culture
instagram for looks and twitter for laughs
Facebook is great for staying in touch, but a bit of an old persons media. Tik tok is more about having fun and a laugh, whereas twitter is where I tell people what’s what
Twitter: politics/ current affairs, Instagram: inspiration for fashion, upcoming trends etc, TikTok funny videos
A change in the seriousness of content. E.g. Twitter for up to date news and information; Instagram for casual interaction; TikTok for fun
instagram for design and interests, facebook for catching up with friends.
To get inspiration and talk to people on Instagram, to find out about cultural events on Twitter, to watch funny videos on Facebook
Facebook is more for seeing. Family based things . Instagram is more for friends and Twitter I use more as a place to vent and see funny things . I also use it a lot for the news since I don't often watch it
I only really have Facebook for messenger, because that's where most people know how to reach me, especially family and work. I also like Facebook marketplace. I use Instagram for everything else and sharing things to friends, also if I want visual inspiration / content I go to Instagram. Tiktok is good for wasting a lot of time, but I go on there for a laugh, also a lot of fashion and advice videos on there I enjoy.
Twitter is funny, I always go there to lighten the mood. Instagram usually just to scroll. I dont really use snapchat anymore and occasionally use facebook for family
Facebook to check in on family members
Instagram for personal and design. Twitter for news and sex positive work
Facebook - Videos Insta - Fashion influence & friends content
Entertainment
Instagram is just what I like to see and show visually.and Twitter is more opinionated but also has a lot of graphic and art stuff
Most often just to communicate with/video call people (e.g Facebook messenger). Instagram to see what people are up to/procrastinate
Facebook - messenger and marketplace
WhatsApp - old people
Insta - scroll
Only use Instagram frequently
Entertainment and inspiration
Instagram for browsing/ chatting/ sharing things. Facebook messenger for conversations
I only have Facebook but I just use it to keep up with friends
Instagram for work, facebook to stay in certain circles, like uni groups, and stuff like WhatsApp, Messenger, and Snapchat for messaging
I use Instagram mainly for stories to see what friends have been doing and Snapchat to stay in contact with closer friends.
Facebook just to keep up with friends and watch funny videos. Instagram to post nice pictures. Pinterest to get inspiration for interior design or clothing.
Pass the time
- Facebook to use messangerInstagram to see videosSnapchat communication
No
No
Nope
Nope
I haven’t
I guess for my photography account yes, loads of places, but otherwise no
Yeah - certain cafes that look aesthetically good - such as Elan cafe London
No— loser^
Yes omg fave activity
Not really but it is a plus if somewhere looks good.
I’m afraid I have!
Mount batur
yep, Ouse Valley Viaduct.
I don't think so . Normally I'd go to somehwew to see it if it looked cool irl not just online.
No, I might post about it but i wouldn't go there just to post on social media
nope
Probably not purely for social media but knowing that you’ll share something on social media can definitely play a part when going to pretty tourist places
Defo been a big factor
No thats losery
Never
No not just to but I generally do take photos for my insta stories if I go anywhere cool!
I wouldn’t! Just focus on my job & career!:))
Books and community spaces
Having conversations with various people face to face. Being sociable in general and I guess reading the newspaper/magazines/books
Probably the newspaper or radio
Newspaper, phone, written letter
Join societies and teams, meet up with friends.
Honestly no idea
The news
Travel and experiencing cultures
Print media/conversations with friends and family/books
The connection and stream of information would be less constant, however the illusion that you need a constant stream of information to be better connected to culture and society could be lessened.
I couldn’t! Honestly I’m having a panic attack just imagining it!!
I guess reading and through talking to friends but it would be a very different type of culture, especially with TV being such a big part of our culture. And socially I wouldn’t mind not having a smart phone normally but that would cut me off from any social life in lockdown!
It would be sooooo hard
Newspapers/museums/ word of mouth
The pub
go to bars, cafes, speak to real people, read the news, become far more aware of what is going on around you, rather than what is going on on the internet.
Newspapers? Would find it very hard to stay connected without digital media
Just watch tv
It would just have to be word of mouth
No idea, I probably wouldn't, but maybe thats not a bad thing?
you’d have to do it in person or via Mail I guess
Letters
Visit museums, exhibitions and fashion events
Postcards, meeting in person
it would be a lot harder, but would probably have to stay up to date using newspapers and printed media, and use telephones/landlines more (bring back carrier pigeons)
My relationships are quite personal anyway, me and my girlfriend prefer being in person and talking and same with my friends
Socially - just regular phone calls, letters postcards. Culturally - reading visiting places painting
Booze and coffee
would probably make a more conscious effort to reach out to people more
I'm not sure i would
Going out into scenes/ being involved with in person events
Paper? Word of mouth?
I do like entertainment media, so I suppose reading books or the news would be the only way to keep up with entertainment and the world; I spend a lot of time reading online anyway
I almost believe I would be more sociable with my closest friends if we didn’t have social media. I think it takes the pressure off actually staying in touch and having meaningful conversations because you feel like you know exactly what everyone is doing all the time so you don’t feel the need to put the effort into chatting . I think if we didn’t have social media I would spend a lot more time on the phone to friends who are far away or coffee dates with friends who I can see regularly
Read the newspaper, read books, chat to other people who are culturally aware, write letters, meet up with friends face to face, phone people on the landline (don’t know whether that’s allowed)
Unsure
Letters and Magazines

3. Are your accounts private? Why/why not?
Public - probably more from a vanity point because I want to get lots of followers
Not, because I’m pretty open with my social media’s and have nothing I’d want people not to see, even got my family on them
No, I don't generally mind people seeing my business tbh
when we use the digital service first we

have to agree to the terms and

conditions provided if we don’t agree we

have the choice not to use them Apple

9. How would you stay socially/culturally connected if you didn't have access to digital media (social media, Tv, smart phones)?
No idea, I probably wouldn't, but maybe thats not a bad thing?
go to bars, cafes, speak to real people, read the news, become far more aware of what is going on around you, rather than what is going on on the internet.
The connection and stream of information would be less constant, however the illusion that you need a constant stream of information to be better connected to culture and society could be lessened.

I think it takes the pressure off actually staying in touch and having meaningful conversations because you feel like you know exactly what everyone is doing all the time so you don’t feel the need to put the effort into chatting .

02:36
my cultural social and financial life
02:38
for all effects and negative ways along
02:41
with my mental stability at first
02:44
friends would make the effort to come a
02:45
knock at my door but since I wasn’t in

that quickly stopped and when I was with

people I became very aware of just how

alone I really was but the personal
03:02
isolation wasn’t the hardest bit
03:04
undoubtedly the cultural isolation but
03:06
the cultural isolation was significantly

worse though I maintain the ability to

references became increasingly exclusive

I was
05:31
finding the cultural isolation was
05:32
becoming too much although work was
05:34
going very well and I just returned from
05:36
Rome Film Festival I was finding
05:38
incredibly difficult to interact with
05:39
other people to read cultural and social
05:41
cues and generally be in the presence of
05:44
other people I was becoming a difficult
05:46
person to be around pushing the very few
05:48
people that remained close to me away
3. Are your accounts private? Why/why not?
Yes. I prefer to know who is looking at my stuff
Private-only want people I know to follow me
Yes because it is safer for your accounts to be private
Yes, because I want to be able to post what I want without people I don’t want seeing/ judging (especially employers)
I
11:39
tried to live without digital mediators
11:41
came back to technology and then
11:43
broadcast everything life the month in
11:45
which I had no digital privacy
11:46
whatsoever was the happiest period for
11:49
me
Comparing the responses to sections of the text it's clear that people consider things about social media differently but with the same overarching view (safety, communication, exposure etc).
But what was interesting was that people felt like cultural and social isolation would be two independent things, when Mark Farid found during his experiments that they are intertwined. Turns out the two are mutually exclusive.
- Highlighted the differences between the two, brings attention, shows a difference (helps if individuals are just scanning the page to ensure they get the key info).
GEOTAGGING/GOOGLE STREET VIEW:
- Solution = don't geotag or make on up
- Creates a fake
- obscure layout
- very conceptual
Keeping thing structured within the rest of the book.
