Do certain types of relationships use certain mediums?

Collect AlLL your digital communications for 72 hours (you can do longer if you need more data, but not shorter) and list them in a spreadsheet.

Are they: email, chat, twitter, social network sites, listservs, blogs, text messages and phone/voicemail?

*Make a list of the type of relationships (for instance: immediate family member, close friend, acquaintance, etc.) make your own categories if needed).

*Make a list of kinds of conversations and data exchanges you had. Were they executables, coordinating a physical meeting, gossip, intimate or …? Are they short or long? What is the time stamp, can you classify the contexts (from bed, campus, class, cafe) and mood?

Then analyze:

1.do certain types of relationships use certain mediums?

2.are certain mediums conducive to certain kinds of exchanges?

3.What kinds of patterns emerge?

4.(A truly excellent work will conceive of new categories for classification and analysis in addition to the ones above)

5.Do you see your collected information, absent the actual conversations, as decontextualized?

6.Why or why not?

7.What would the NSA or a commercial data broker conclude about you?

ONLY TURN IN YOUR ANALYSIS.I do not want your spreadsheet or associated private data.
