Questions
After watching Context Collapse, consider the questions below. Then “submit” your response.
1. How can you tell Olivia is experiencing context collapse?
One possible answer might be that we can tell Olivia is experiencing context collapse because she starts to receive feedback on the photos she’s posted on social media from people in various contexts of her life: her grandmother and her kindergarten teacher, for example.
2. If you were in Olivia’s situation, what would you do? Would you remove the photos to avoid context collapse? Would you change the privacy settings?
Responses will vary.
