blog #5 - planning an interview

for my final project, i will be interviewing my mother. she is a profoundly complex person who has changed remarkably over the course of her life. moreover, i will be focusing on the past 5 or 6 years over the course of which her life has be markedly changed by various types of social media. her political affiliations have swung from one end of the spectrum to the other - she went from a life long conservative to a more progressive affiliation in large part because of her interactions on twitter. she had an opportunity to flex artistic muscles that had been long dormant as she got more and more involved with instagram - and now gets 100s of likes on almost all of her photos.

questions i'd ask

1. when did social media first seem approachable / attractive to you?
2. prior to instagram, how do you think your latent creativity expressed itself?
3. can you pin point a time when your political identity started to change? what was happening?
