This assignment asks you to do something youve been asked to do dozens of times before, but (Im willing to bet) never have read the entire Terms of Service (TOS), Privacy Policies, End- User License Agreements (EULA), or Data Usage Policies of one of the Web Services, Social Media Sites, or Mobile Games you use. For example:
Alexa (app), Facebook, Fortnite, Instagram, Snapchat Solitaire, Twitter, Google Home, (app) Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Tinder, eHarmony, match.ca, Plenty of Fish, Candy Crush, Pokemon Go!, Farmville, Sonic Dash, League of Legends, Bumble, etc…
There are many, many more sites, services, devices, games, and social networks that might form the basis of your paper. The only stipulation you need to respect is that the service, game, or network be Free. The object of this assignment is to begin the process of thinking critically about the new media environment we encounter every day and to develop our understanding of the water within which we swim.
Consult as many of these policies as you need to determine how these sites and services can offer the kinds of things they do without charging a fee to use them. Pay particular attention to the ways in which the content you (or your contacts) generate, the data trail you (or your contacts) leave behind, and the information you (or your contacts) share, allow the site, service, app, or game to continue operating free of charge.
Additional Notes on Page Count, Format & Citation
You need to have at least 3 different scholarly sources (Course sources are fine)
Spelling, grammar, sentence structure, flow, and diction naturally contribute to the
overall effectiveness of your writing and will therefore be taken into consideration.
Your paper should be double-spaced with 1.25 margins on the left and right and 1 margins on the top and bottom. Use a 12 pt font of your choice. (Standard Settings)
Your bibliography (yes, you need a bibliography!) does not count towards the overall page count.
In other words, you need to have at least four pages of your own writing.
Please do not include a title page. Place your name & student number at the
beginning of the paper along with the papers title (make it catchy).
There should be no superfluous spacing or unnecessarily large margins.
Dont consider, not even for one-half-of-a-millisecond, plagiarizing your paper. Be proud of your work and your intelligence. Youre an incredibly smart and talented person. Show that off, rather than your capacity to copy and paste from a website Ive already read.
This paper requires some research on your part. When citing texts, journal articles, books, etc., please use the APA citation style.
