Regarding where I used social media, the majority of it would be in my room, train stop, bus stop and on campus. As I've already said, having an internet-enabled smart phone has contributed to having higher media usage due to being able to use it on the go. YouTube was another social media that I frequently used, I noticed that I spent much time using YouTube, activities that I engaged in where watching movie trailers, watched cooking tutorials, dancing tutorials, braiding tutorials, dancing tutorials, make up tutorials and I also used it to watch motivational videos. overall I spent almost an hour or two per day on you tube and the device used was my laptop and at times when waiting for my next class Google is another social media that …show more content…
However, linking all this back to my past life, before all this apps came in place and smart phones, the only device I had then was a mobile phone which only allowed me to send text messages and call and I recall the only app which I was familiar with was hi 5 and chat rooms, the device used were computers and where only accessed through the internet café. Within a short span technology has expanded drastically. Before then I used to prefer watching TV shows and movies on TV because of internet and social media Television and radio is now consumed via internet using laptops, used my iPhone for listening to radio usually in the background of other activities, used while working with school assignment, washing dishes, cleaning, going to the gym. I also used search engine to access online shopping sites, for instance, I found it convenient to shop online, which makes it more quickly than shopping at the store, it may free up time to spend with friends and family. Device Mostly used iPhone and laptop when I want a very clear image of the …show more content…
Further more, social media has made me find it harder to communicate face to face with people and am losing people skills due to spending more and more time on talking from behind the screen .in addition my pronunciation and gramma has also declined drastically, due to abbreviations my ability to retain information has decreased and the willing ness to spend more time researching and looking up good information has reduced, due to the fact that I got used to ease of accessibility to information on social media , for example few days back was working on an assignment with group members , we came across a question that just needed us to think and answer but unfortunately we all thought of using Google
Thanks for your reply. With regards to social media accounts, since it is a small business I would probably have a Facebook page for promoting sales and to show what is happening in the store. A website is a great idea too, it would provide a place to show connections and what the store supports. Lastly, I could see the store having an instagram account to show off the business’s personality while providing quick information on deals or promotions.
Over the past few months, but especially in recent days with the inauguration of president elect Donald J. Trump rapidly approaching, many of us students have begun to question our safety and our leadership’s concern for our safety on this campus, as have our families back home. When individuals no longer feel a sense of personal safety, academics and academic performance can no longer be a priority. Discrimination based on bias can escalate beyond rhetoric and into acts of violence. History has proven to be a solid reference.
While growing up I was enrolled in three different schools during High School. Freshman year I was enrolled in Lockhart, TX. I made some really good friends there. Sophomore Year my family and I moved back to Yoakum, TX. I was pretty much raised in Yoakum I have friends from kindergarten in that town. My godson lives in Yoakum. Before the end of Sophomore year, we moved to good ole Huntsville, TX. My fiancé and his family are from towns surrounding Huntsville. If it were not for social media, like Facebook, I would not be able to keep up with half the people I know.
One-way that social media has helped me socialize is on Pinterest I can look at new foods, ideas, and hairstyles. There was this one story that I read that about a person who was new to the time and adopted a dog. There was a two-week trial and she was having troubles with the dog. A couple days before she was going to return the dog she remembered the dog came with some stuff. There was a letter from the previous owner saying he is being deployed and if she is reading this he is dead. The original owner had told the animal shelter the wrong name and had written it in the letter. Once the owner had finished the letter and interacted in the dog. Their relationship had improved so much that she decided to keep the dog. I had never thought about
I'm incredibly excited to apply as a Social Media and Marketing Intern for GLTYR. The idea of giving businesses and individuals the opportunity to effectively market at affordable prices and get their word out easily is amazing. As someone who is an avid user of social media platforms, I see dozens of advertisements daily, and I have began to realize that some of the best multimedia advertisements are not the ones with thousands of dollars spent on them. The best ones are those that have a purposeful and concise message that the marketer shows to the consumer in an effective manner. From everything I have read so far about GLTYR, this
In my point of view, I think the most important point the author, Matthew Yeomans, tried to raise and educate the readers is that social media is not just a platform for people to communicate, establish relationships and share their social life, it is also a useful tool to improve the crisis management and assist the planning and preparation for future disasters/catastrophes.
I almost never watched TV, and often only played video games twice a week for a couple hours each time. I listened to the radio for about half an hour every day as I drove to and from school. I read for maybe an hour a day and spent no more than 45 minutes on social media daily. I was part of the Pew Research Center study’s 56% of teens who went on social media multiple times a day. Comparing the two, I can see that I used more media when I was 17 and 18. I clearly spent more time on computers, a bit more time listening to the radio, more time playing video games, and less time watching TV. Considering that I rarely get invested in TV shows, it makes sense, and I filled in the rest of my time with types of media that I enjoy using
At what point do you start to silence yourself around people? Is it what they say and do, or is it more specifically the person that performed the action? Can you imagine people you hold in high esteem making you feel othered? Then you realize the connection you thought you had with them was really just an elaborate daydream and the signs of their true character were there from the beginning. For me, this moment feels like the floor being ripped from under me, and as I freefall into the black abyss below, all of my senses except my vision stop working. I can’t hear the air whistling past me; I can’t shout for help. My body even refuses to breathe as if the air is now tainted with the vile words spoken in the space, and I refuse to take them
The social media reach of Nordstrom, Nike, Gatorade, United Airlines, Apple, Walmart, Target, Macy's, Sephora, Neiman Marcus, and Amazon have all been entered into the project spreadsheet.
The best methods of communicating with this public are through universal marketing materials, including brochures, pamphlets and flyers. Teachers are also easily accessible through email and phone. To continue growing a social presence, OCLRE should maintain communication through social networking sites, such as Facebook, to stay connected with teachers and students as they prepare for OCLRE competitions. Including photos and videos of students in class or at practice will generate interest and excitement among competing and noncompeting schools, new educators and volunteers.
Bill Nye hits the hammer on head with that quote because social media has become this generations way of communicating. Don’t get me wrong the mass media has advanced our society and knowledge tenfold, but is what we’re reading in these tweets or magazines actually hurting our indelicacy? I took two articles with the hot topic of smoking marijuana in society, economic market, and legalization nationally. One article was from CNN (mass media) and the other was from a scholarly web page. The articles by Alexandra Sifferlin and the Yale Rsearch team both circled around the idea of marijuana, but both have completely different writing styles, purpose, audience, and approach.
The mass media I used the most this past weekend was Snapchat. The reason I used snapchat the most is because I prefer to communicate and talk to my friends on snapchat. The media I did not use as much was Netflix. I didn’t feel the need to watch movies or a certain show. And also because I know if I watch a show or 2 on their I will start to binge watch the whole entire show so I stop myself from spending my day only on Netflix.
Social media strategies and their implementation to achieve competitive advantage in the highly competitive market arena is an issue that has severally been addressed by various companies. However none of these companies have been able find and determine an effective method that will aim to attain the competitive advantage. The importance of this research is to determine how social media strategies can be implemented and utilized to ensure that the competitive advantage of the companies is realized (Campbell, Coff, & Kryscynski, 2012). Additionally this research will highlight the prominence of utilizing social media strategies in the companies' management as well as marketing. It is without a doubt that
I have always thought of myself as a mild user of media outlets. Over the years, I have found my usual circle of media that pertains to what I desire to get out from the usage. I am not relatively a social media junkie, but I do cater to the apps Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook to stay connected with others, Soundcloud to listen to music, and the “Today” tab standard on iPhone’s to check weather, stocks, and current events. I find these media outlets useful because they are all accessible on one single device, making it easy to access quickly and efficiently. I rarely pick up a newspaper, listen to the radio, watch the news, or access other social media apps because I simply feel that I am achieving everything I would like to know or do through what I am used to. For this assignment, I will be using Tumblr, the radio, and the Papers app. I am excited to have eye opening experience that helps me understand other media and why people would use it.
On the weekday, September 8th, I had no plans other than to go to my 11:00 a.m. class and to make the hour-long drive to go to my home town later that night. I had no middle of the day plans, so I spent my day relaxing and watching internet shows on Netflix. Later, I took some time to text my stepfather, because my car broke down. Once I got my car mobile, I sang along to the radio while I drove home. A week later, September 17th on a weekend day, I used the same types of media again. I spent a few hours watching Netflix, until I became motivated to study for the exams I had to take the next day. Then I studied for the rest of the day, using google to help me define and look up information. Late that night I song along to the radio while I shower and decided to keep it playing as I fell asleep.
