## My reflection:
After reading Danah Boyd's "Agnotology and Epistemological Fragmentation", I had a few thoughts at the forefront of my brain. For one, I was a little scared. Of course I know that media on the internet can and has been used for evil, but being reminded of the horrors that people are capable of producing on the internet was jarring. I know I must sound ignorant, but the social media and internet I know as a teenage girl is shockingly differnt. My second thought was, "uh what is agnotology?" I tried to read over a couple lines to get some context clues, but eventually, I googled the definition of [agnotology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnotology).<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1wq-OZXgzdo" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Boy, was I startled to realize that I indeed could have been studied right along with the topic.

So just how ignorant am I? How many times have I just read something a couple times online and just accepted it as a fact? I thought about it for a minute and then an example popped up in my head. A few months ago I saw a bunch of Instagram stories pop up on my feed of girls posting their boyfriends for "national boyfriend day". I didn't think twice, I just assumed it was, who am I to think they were all wrong, but sure enough [it wasn't actually national boyfriends day](https://www.tiktok.com/@lefroim/video/7130247811475442990?is_from_webapp=v1&item_id=7130247811475442990). All of these girls had just seen someone else post it and gone right along with complete ignorance. Something I am sure many of us would have done right along with them.

All of this talk about fake media and all the potenital traps I could fall into while researching just about anything really makes me wonder what other so called fake news (remeber when that was a hashtag?) I have injested.

Honestly, I'm thinking I need to be more careful on the internet...
