This is a book of photographs of Silos, Barns, and other farm related buildings, equipment, and activities in McHenry County, Illinois. I am creating it as an education tool for the many new residents to McHenry County who do not fully comprehend how important farming and related activities were to the growth and economy of McHenry County. It includes Silos, Barns, Other Buildings, Cows and how they are related to these buildings, Farm Equiipment, and views of McHenry County farm land. It shows the condition of both Silos and Barns from beautifully maintained and/or converted into practically new conditon, all the way to completely deteriorated Barns, collapsed at the foot of the adjacent Silo. It shows how food for cows, both hay and silage, is produced, stored, and then used to feed them. It shows both very old farm equipment to the most modern, expensive equipment. It shows how some Barns have been repurposed for use on golf courses, offices, landscape business, storage, and even one home. It shows farm animals.

An eye-opening look at the invisible workers who protect us from seeing humanity’s worst on today’s commercial internet Social media on the internet can be a nightmarish place. A primary shield against hateful language, violent videos, and online cruelty uploaded by users is not an algorithm. It is people. Mostly invisible by design, more than 100,000 commercial content moderators evaluate posts on mainstream social media platforms: enforcing internal policies, training artificial intelligence systems, and actively screening and removing offensive material—sometimes thousands of items per day. Sarah T. Roberts, an award-winning social media scholar, offers the first extensive ethnographic study of the commercial content moderation industry. Based on interviews with workers from Silicon Valley to the Philippines, at boutique firms and at major social media companies, she contextualizes this hidden industry and examines the emotional toll it takes on its workers. This revealing investigation of the people “behind the screen” offers insights into not only the reality of our commercial internet but the future of globalized labor in the digital age.
