Hi Minrui,

I really enjoyed reading your blog post this week! I agree with you that over the pandemic social media provided a much easier way to connect with others. I think in terms of inclusiveness the pandemic forced many people to learn how to better navigate technology and social media as it was one of the only ways to communicate. However, I do agree that there is still a lot of people who are not on social media, I think many more people joined social media or become more aware of using social media as a way to communicate.

Hi Felix, I agree with you that your PLN amplifies the views of others. For example, by me commenting on your post and posting this on matter most, we both have a higher chance of our blog posts being read. I think that this is important because by using your PLN to amplify the views of others you are growing your connections, as well as expanding others’ PLN networks.  This also works to help find people with similar interests to interact with.
