TIME DIARY ON INSTAGRAM 

For the last four days, I have used Instagram on my iPhone each day for about the same amount of time (one hour). These are pictures of my Screen Time during the last four days:

 When I use this social media tool, I normally am on my phone. On rare occasions, I use Instagram on my computer or iPad. It could be about two times in a month that I use either of these platforms to interact with others on Instagram. 

Normally, I use this app during the day. I check my messages mostly in the morning while I have breakfast. When I interact on Instagram it is specifically only with my friends. A majority of the time the conversations are on group chats. If I talk with an individual person is because one of us made a reply to the other's story. But I also use it during the day around the afternoon until the evening to watch people's recent stories. Not so often, I scroll to see what the people I follow have posted. The reseason I do not scroll too much is because there are a lot of ads nowadays that are not relevant to me. What I actually do a lot, is post stories throughout the day of anything that I found interesting or pleasant to view. 

When the university semester starts, I tend to use less any social media since the workload is too much and I am constantly walking to class, being in class, cooking, cleaning, and doing homework. All of the said before takes a lot of time so I often forget that I even have social media.

Unwrapping Data: LJ 2

 We live an unfulfilled life that is surrounded by social media, data, and anything else that is "internet-linked," as the reading "We Are Data" clearly explains. However, it doesn't begin by elaborating on the moral side (such as the issue of internet exposure of personal photos, body image, unattainable standards, etc.), but rather on how we are genuinely data. Our name and identity are saved on search engines like Google as plain, common data. He helps us see how we fit into an algorithm by opening our eyes to this. It is absurd to assume that we understand how our personal information is handled online when we are completely ignorant of its workings. As I read this, I was astounded at how ignorant I had been, especially on the algorithm and the saving of personal data. Online, we can't exactly close who we are. Since we are defined as a result of the websites and videos we have visited and viewed online, our hobbies and preferences may not actually come ...

POV: You are me expressing about Social Media :LJ1

Social media posting truly interests me. On my personal do's, I find myself more at ease blogging and sharing my daily activities on multiple social media platforms, which is one of my individual ambitions. I like to share travel adventures and details of my daily activities, such as going to the gym, having fun, and managing coursework (one in which I receive various responses from people who relate). Even though sharing details about your personal life on social media can be amusing, there should be boundaries and principles. Only my family and friends have access to my social media accounts since I keep them private.  Social media has, in my opinion, turned toxic. I recall when I first started publishing things online, I was twelve years old. Everyone shared their experiences in a really honest and natural way, and they didn't give any thought to how they looked. In today's world of beauty standards where everyone tries to conform to unattainable life standards, photogra...

Public Relations on Social Media: LJ7

     According to Lipschultz's "Social Media Communication," Chapter 4, social media has evolved into a vital instrument for public relations specialists to interact with their consumers, forge connections, and raise brand awareness. It has made it possible for PR professionals to communicate with stakeholders in both directions and reach a larger audience. Since I am quite private on social media, as I have already stated, I personally do not utilize social media to develop public relations. But if I ever needed to build professional relationships, social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram would be my first port of call.      Knowing how social media affects public relations has had a big impact on everyone's personal and professional use of social media, but influencers especially. Unexpectedly, I have a number of friends that leverage social media to enhance their reputations and personal brands. As a result, their businesses have si...
