Inappropriate Use Digital Media

Vicky Vinchattle
I think often times people misinterpret things that are shared via digital media and it has become a big problem. Whether that be because of the tone of voice, how its worded, or who its aimed at. For example, many people use twitter to complain about things or say mean things and sometimes if they don't put who it is directed toward anyone can assume it is directed toward them. Specifically, if a student was to tweet 'She looks like she's having a bad hairs day' any other student that knows that person could think it was directed at her and feel very bad about herself. And then many people have hurt feelings.
