 This week I've been prompted to listen to and research a podcast in relation to some of the major topics of this class. What I've found is Note to Self, Hosted by Manoush Zomorodi. The podcast generally aims to take a deeper look at how tech and online platforms influence how we communicate. Its very short and digestible so I listened to a few casts but the one that most touched on the themes we've gone over in this class was an episode titled; How to Create good Digital Citizens. In this particular episode, Zomorodi delves into the concept of digital citizenship—an increasingly important aspect of our technologically driven society.

 Week 3 Discussion For this week's discussion I've been prompted to analyze and discuss an interpersonal relationship through the lens of Knapp's relational model. To be frank I've no interest whatsoever in discussing my interpersonal relationships in any sort of public forum and I think it's almost an inappropriate and irresponsible prompt but here I digress in the interest of moving this class along. Today, I'll keep things simple here and I will focus on the circumscribing stage. The relationship I'll analyze is with my sister since she's an influencer and there's some relevance there in dissecting how the impacts of online communication has effected the relationship.     I adore my older sister, I look up to her in a great deal of ways but her and I could not be more polar opposites in a lot of other ways. Now since this is an age old relationship of siblings there's a constant ebb and flow of where our relationship may stand on the scale of
