To solve our daunting conundrum, we must look toward the internet and what many contemporaries call “social media.” Our current generation of young and bright minds already strive to create their own little “safe spaces” if you will. These aptly named spaces allow users to share their thoughts among those with similar opinions, creating an “echo chamber” of thoughts (Political Polarity: Does Social Media). But, more importantly, if we were to bolster our efforts in this field, these sanctuaries…

Unfortunately, I do not really use the social media platforms that the author, Steve Rayson, uses to explain his major findings. I am actually very surprised he is tracking his articles across Google + and LinkedIn which are not as popular as other social media. The two tools whose usefulness stands out to me the most are Topsy and Tweriod. Most sites make it easy to track how many times an article has been shared, but these tools bring social sharing into a new light. It is not just about the…

A few years ago, I stumbled upon the poem Look Up. The Author Gary Turk explains that with social media “We edit and exaggerate, crave adulation. We pretend not to notice the social isolation. We put our words into order and turn our lives a-glistening. We don’t even know if anyone is listening!” This poem illuminates many of the challenges that the authors of this week’s readings highlight. Like much that we have studied this course, social media and the internet has both benefits and…

Social media was originally invented to connect the world and provide a platform for people all over the world to communicate their ideas. However, modern times has taken a great turn for social media to even become a place for users to use primarily as a way for news, including fake news. “62% of US adults” use social media as their news outlet, and “44% rely primarily on Facebook”. Considering these data numbers, it becomes apparent to question whether this news channel provides factual…

In our age of technology people use identity management through social media to manipulate the public perception of themselves. According to the book "Interplay: The Process of Interpersonal Communication" the author explains "Identity management means communication strategies people use to influence how others view them." (Adler, Rosenfeld and Proctor II, 2010.) On the other hand "Social media is a communication channel used for personal reasons, including text messaging and social network…

An employer should not use information found on social media, such as Facebook or Twitter, to make hiring decisions, they don’t have the authorization or the right to do it. For someone to use information from social media or to hired somebody is because they are authorized. Three reasons why they shouldn’t use social media information to hire someone are because they are only employees, the job doesn’t require job hiring and the information can be false. First, since people are only…

Social media are forms of electronic communications networks that users create to establish communication, relationships, and information among one another. Social media consists of various websites and applications that are committed to social curation and networking which are among the different types of social media. Social media consists of two-thirds of the world’s population having internet access. However, in today’s society, Facebook is the number one leading social media that a lot of…

Social media has exploded in popularity over the past few decades. Today, the average person will access a social media source everyday and possibly multiple times everyday. With this growing popularity, public safety officials such as the police force are finding it to be advantageous to have a presence in social media. As a 21st century law enforcement organization, I believe that it is a wise decision on the part of the police to have a social media page. Having this presence on,social media…

World Wide Web, referred to hereafter as “the web”, can and should. The web opened up vast opportunities that the world would not be the same without, the possibilities that it has created is endless. With this development Tim Berners-Lee significantly changed the way the world interacts, works, and helps each other. As such, due to his creation and what it has done and can do for the world, he should be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Tim Berners-Lee wrote the first web client and server in 1990…
