Blog Post #1 Topic Interests

One topic of interest I would like to explore is the prevalence of misinformation. What elements need to be in place in order for the rhetoric of misinformation to be effective? Our society has set up technology to operate in echo chambers, which become breading grounds for fake news, AI-generated content used for deception, and conspiracy theories that validate misinformation rather than contradict it. What are things that can be done to rectify this? Another topic that could be possible is the digitalization of traditional craft communities. How are these communities maintained even when people don't meet in person? How is modern crafting different from traditional crafting? What is the importance of maintaining these communities?
