Memes by Jessica Campbell Meme Generator
Since you said we could do a meme on anything we talked about during this semester I had to do it on your explanation of why phones and laptops suggest ads of things we talk about. I have to admit, it never occurred to me it wasn’t a sign or a coincidence that things I talked about appeared in online ads. Realizing my phone and laptop are always listening was eye opening. Also, you enlightening everyone on how it’s impossible to anonymously stalk someone’s page was interesting. I watched classmates cringe after they found out about the algorithms on Instagram and Facebook. It made me laugh because memes immediately popped in my head. Providing the opportunity to make memes on the anything, I couldn’t pass up touching on that class discussion. One of the things that I love about memes is the way the facial expressions displayed on some of them encompass how I actually feel. Woody’s face probably reflected mine thinking about everything I say near my phone or laptop going into a databank somewhere. The idea creeps me out. Just because they can do it to help market to an individual doesn’t mean it’s ethical to do so. What happens when someone else taps in? I’m sure people think it’s paranoia to say it, but the fact that they are listening to begin with is ridiculous. Who knows what else could be done with these recordings. That’s just something to mull over the next time an ad for White Castle pops up after you mention craving some sliders.
