Wow!
The idea of being a visitor and a resident on the web is an idea that has never occurred to me. I have always known I have a bigger presence and interaction on certain platforms such as Instagram and Snapchat, but I never have actually thought about the trace I leave behind on those platforms of which I would be considered a resident compared to the platforms I am a visitor of. I have always just considered platforms on social media and the digital space to be that of the same category but after reading Visitors and Residents: A new typology for online engagement, it really made me realize the differences that exist between the platforms I use and the continuum of the way my presence and interaction on these platforms differ. I have created a map to represent how I present myself online.
Wonder!
After completing the Privacy and Surveillance quiz, the responses I submitted and the feedback I was given for each question made me wonder whether I am behaving safely and responsibly online and made me feel as though I need to change some of the ways I interact online. One of the biggest eye-openers for me was the question about public wifi, I am quick to accept any free wifi I can get when I am in a public space so that I am able to save data. However, after seeing the feedback I received it made me reevaluate using public wifi and made me wonder whether my security and privacy have already been compromised due to my previous lack of knowledge of the dangers of public wifi.
