Social Networking Sites

My four social networking sites are Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, and Facebook. I use them all on a daily basis besides Twitter. I'm not such a big fan of Twitter. I think with the recent updates of other social media sites, twitter became less attractive. Also, personally I don't like writing my opinion and putting it out there to the world where in reality no one really cares. The platform I use the most is Instagram. It offers so much whether it's news, entertainment, or simply stay in touch with what's going on with family or friends. The explore page determines what kind of content you follow and makes the list based on that. And I just like pictures with captions rather than just someone's thoughts typed in 250 symbols. I still use Snapchat, even though lately the amount of users has been declining. Main reason is due to Instagram pretty much taking every jewel Snapchat had to offer like filters, archives, location stickers etc. I use it because I like how it stores memories and I also think Snapchat is very personal when it comes to content. I've been using Facebook a lot lately. I actually like it a lot. There's lots of informational content such as news on politics and overall change in the world. I enjoy clicking on a video and it right away offers other content which is actually very educational and many of them point towards social responsibility which I think is quite interesting. So overall I think Facebook is the most formal of them all.

Turning (ON) the Page: Research on Electronic Literature

I chose to do my project on research on electronic literature. The reason why I chose this topic is because this is something that constantly surrounds us and something we can all relate to. Electronic literature has been a steadily growing market. With research on this topic, I'll be able to touch upon several perspectives such as sociological, technological, and educational. I'll discuss how electronic or digital literature is having an impact on the society and how we're adapting to such a big change. While the traditional ways of reading and receving information still exists, the appear of digital literature certainly is making a big difference. And the people's perception and acceptance of such drastic change certainly splits into two sides of opinion.

Next New

While trying to come up with a new technology in my head, I realized that in our day and age we have the luxury of possessing nearly every single technology that's available, useful, and helpful for an average customer like myself. Considering my term paper was about the impact of E-books on our society, I came up with an idea of creating better and more entertaining e books for education. E books that would provide audio and video content while a student scrolls through a text. It would be a very helpful technology and feature overall for all ages whether it's 3rd material with more pictures for the little student or a scholar's complex ideas broken down into well displayed images or video. I can imagine scrolling down the pages and having a nice compact projector like screen on the left that describes and vividly portrays what's written. So certainly, the literature field can use some improvements and newer inventions to make any kind of material easier to grasp.

Privacy

While the new media has been very useful impactful in our day and age, we constantly face a threat to our privacy. While social media platforms with its huge amounts of users are always growing, cybersecurity has certainly been lacking a real protection. Just during the past couple of years, we've had major news about platforms such as Google and Facebook wrongly using its users' saved data including personal information, preferences, pictures, and even location. What's even more worse is when we know that they sell our information for billions of dollars and the companies that invest heavily into obtaining people's data make their business decisions and aim at certain audiences based on the obtained information. Still to this day, we hear news about data breaching which puts us a society in a great jeopardy. It's not at all comfortable to know that your information and even info such as what kind of things you go shopping for are all out there in the open. It'...
