Coronavirus, Instagram, & Living our Best Life

This week in class we'll have our Instagram Resident Expert group give their presentation privately via Zoom with a follow-up discussion about Instagram and the VanDijck reading on Flickr on Wednesday.

Oh Instagram. 

We're also still in the thick of social distancing, where life isn't really all too Instagramable....

This seems to beg the question: How did we get to this point, where a whole generation seems to "do it for the 'gram" or needs to apply several filters to photos to show how they're living their best life? This isn't meant to be a knock against Gen Z and Millennials - it's just an observation that many of us have made over the past several years. Now that things have slowed down, we're forced to be #TogetherApart, how has the way you post about your life changed? What other things have changed?

This week, you can still talk about our new normal of social distancing related to the Coronavirus, but try to incorporate some reflections on the questions above.

Blog posts are due by Friday.
