Social Media through Time: LJ4

    Social Medias such as TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat video content is and will continue to be successfull for businesses or creating trends. It is said in Sprout Social, that brands "invest more in video production equipment and staff" to get appropiate attention of their targetted audience.On another hand, I think BeReal will not last longer if nothing new is implemented into the app since BeReal is for keeping people updated of what you are doing at one certain moment of the day which means low engagement in the app. Nowadays, every viral trend is monetized because they are moestly marketing trends because of this I think that, in the future,  social media will be 90% for selling and advertising brand deals. With this, I don't mean people are not going to be able to post their life, but almost every post will sell something.

    I have not adapted any trend mentioned in the readings, but I do have adapted to new apps. BeReal is the most recent application that I have been using because of the trend. From my experience, I think this app has quickly loose engagement with users causing people to delete the app in a short period of time. I, personally, enjoy this app since I get entretained by knowing what people are doing and where they are since my friends on the app are all friends that went to college to different countries and keeping in touch is hard. In the last few months, I have use ChatGPT several times in broad ways. This AI tool has been very helpful by helping me solve issues in an instance. I have asked ChatGPT to help me with other languages, to order ideas, to paraphrase, and to cite websites correctly.  Going back to the fact that I haven't adapted to any trends, I feel like I have always gone the different direction on everything that trends because I don't find smart doing or following something just because everyone is doing it.

    The Metaverse possesses both positive and negative traits. On one hand, it promises to fundamentally alter how we communicate and use technology. Immersive experiences, improved social connectivity, and new business prospects are benefits that I found likeable. Yet, the Metaverse also brings up issues with inequality, security, and privacy. It is evident that the general public, including me, are quite concerned over this issue. The establishment of a virtual environment necessitates the gathering and storage of enormous amounts of user data, including personal information, biometric data, and behavioral data, which poses various privacy issues related to the Metaverse. I know people that have had issues since it comes with the potential for data breaches, hacking, and unauthorized access to personal data.  Additionally, because it may not be evident who has access to user data and how it is being utilized, the Metaverse raises concerns regarding ownership and control of such data. This raises questions about the possibility of user behavior being monitored and tracked as well as the usage of user data for commercial advantage.  These privacy issues will need to be resolved as the Metaverse spreads in order to guarantee that user data is safeguarded and that users have control over their personal information to reduce the negative qualities om such an important company as Metaverse is. Personally, I own the apps of Facebook, Instagra, WhatsApp, and Messenger (almost all Meta applications) which is a high risk because of the privacy issues, but owning and using all this apps means that I rely so much on them that I am willing to risk my privacy which shows that I enjoy and like a lot of beneficial qualities Meta offers.

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...
