I think I met my goals for the detox. I was emphasizing myself to not use my computer so I was able to cut my screen time for my entertainment like watching my favorite shows on Netflix by a lot. It was a healthy experience, both practically and emotionally because I was more productive on assignments and was engaging with my friends. I ended up spending my time doing my assignments and hanging out with my friends. This experience made me realize that spending my time without any screens can be more fulfilling and I felt more purpose on the things I did.

I have chosen the easy level because if I choose something from medium or above, I think I will not end up doing it because of how attached to my phone I am. I often use my computer to look at entertainment so I will cut that time to do more productive work like assignments.

The principle that I will be talking about in my podcast is how Instagram is a user-generated, collaborative social media, and the ethics from an inclusive and freedom standpoint. Instagram is an inclusive platform because anyone can use this platform by posting or observing. Questions of digital access at domestic and global levels should be answered, because, I, an international student, am going to be talking with Zephan, who is a domestic student about Instagram. We will also be talking about the ethics of how freely Instagram can and cannot be, from our experience and from the information that was included in the D and A readings, and will conclude by stating if we think changes should happen to Instagram. These questions raised in my project should relate to the audience because most of the audience should have experience with Instagram, and if not, with something similar.

This is the most recent selfie that I took of myself. I raised the contrast of the picture so it would be easier to see my face. I cropped the image so my face could be in the center of the image. I sent this selfie to my friends in Japan to tell them I am doing well at college overseas.

This is a selfie of me going outside when the COVID outbreak happened. I come from the city part of Japan and during the outbreak I felt constrained. I made the photo colors slightly darker because I was feeling dull.

This is a selfie that I took at the Andrews Library. I usually spend time at the library when I need to do assignments because it helps me zone in. This selfie also shows my identity of how I spend a lot of time in front of screens. I made the highlights of the selfie stronger so it would be easier to see what I am doing.
