Twitter as a platform was originally created with the intent to have the users become microbloggers (Arceneaux and Weiss). Now as we’ve seen, the platform has essentially turned users into mobile journalist, allowing them to be the creators and distributors of information. Twitter has been useful in support of the movement in various way. First, the platform offers reliable media coverage. Most of the general public turns on the news to stay updated but others log into Twitter. The reasoning why is because Twitter is known for broadcasting live videos and information before major news outlets. Furthermore, unlike the media, Twitter users, majority of the time relay the information promptly without misrepresenting or biasly giving out false information which major
In today’s day and age, social media is popular more than ever. Now, just by clicking the “tweet” button, you can expose yourself and what you put out there for anyone throughout the whole world to see. Twitter, Instagram, etc have taken over the world, with millions and millions of users that range from super young to super old. Personally, I have three different platforms of social media. These include twitter, instagram and snapchat. I am interested to evaluate how I use it versus how I consider myself to be in real life and on a day to day basis. I believe the way that I represent myself on social media has some similarities and differences between my actual self on a day to day basis.
The posts that are tweeted in the platform can be predicted through the use of machine learning technique. In context, the aforementioned works on the scale of predicting a tweet given the content of the tweet, the tweeter and more especially the retweeted. The above factors are instrumental in developing a detailed and analyzed strategy of acquiring information through Twitter. Notable also is the fact that the popularity of a user does not depend on the number of followers that one has or the count of the tweets. However, the count of the retweets and the number of users who took part in the process act as the appraisal of popularity and how quick the information will be propagated in the network. The factors that limit the propagation of the information in Twitter is the limit of the word character which is only 140. As such, there is a need to have a predefined terse message that will enhance the spread of the information. There is also need to authenticate information in Twitter so as to hamper rumors and
Balance is a word that our society struggles with for a variety of reasons. From the perspective of a teenager, finding a balance between school, social life, and health is a challenge that is nearly universal. The TV show, 13 Reasons Why, clearly portrays the lack of balance that teenagers can face if they prioritize one factor over another. In the video clip, the girl is receiving numerous messages from students in her school in response to an Instagram post, which rated girls based on their appearance. The list made her best friend, Jessica, act passive-aggressively, and it served as a stimulus for boys to start objectifying the girl. Consequently, there is an unbalance between the girl’s social situation and other aspects of life. While this scenario is a more exaggerated experience that some teenagers could face, it still displays the reality of the issues that can arise from the use of social media.
According to Shearer, “62 percent of US adults get news on social media” (Gottfried and Shearer 2016). More than half of the adults in the United States receive their news from social media. With more than half of adults relying on social media, it begs the question does society rely too much on social media? Throughout recent years, society has invested more time in their phones, which has made us less social. Social media has shaped people to lack personal, human relationships. This leads to society becoming less social as a whole. Furthermore, there has been a big rise of fake accounts and fake news published by social media. These fake accounts and news stories were very prevalent during the 2016 Presidential Election, and many believe

In 2006, Jack Dorsey, the creator of Twitter, had the idea to launch an application that would allow friends to direct message without having to use text messaging through a cell phone carrier. The biggest advantage for this creation in technology was the fact that cell phone coverage had been going up in price, especially the use of text messaging when a user goes over her limit. Dorsey and his colleagues began work on this application only to run into issue with one of the world’s largest companies, Apple, producing the same application. Once Apple released Imessage Dorsey decided to transform Twitter into a rough version of what everyone knows the application to be today. Dorsey and his team turned Twitter into a chronological board of posts that people can post up to 140 keyboard characters to update their followers on their most recent actions, opinions, or anything on the writer’s mind.

With today’s youth, social media begins to take over one’s life and become their main source of interacting. Social media is possibly one of the best and worst creations in the modern world but the cons definitely triumph over the pros.
The project aim at teenagers, therefore sample group is between 13 to 19. I will set the sample sizes in 50 participants since it is easy to identity and more precision. If a sample sizes increase, it is very hard to estimate and become not accurate. Also, I’m worry about the extremes data can’t make a balance out, so the project prefers small sample sizes. It can take less effort to gain and maintain people, it is easy to produce significant results and comfortable to find a group of people. I will obtain samples from friends or friends’ sister and brother.
