Blog: Social networking sites

-
Facebook always gives the impression that users are constantly being informed about the news, but also there is an entertainment aspect. I steered away from Facebook for over a year, but I returned a few months ago. The reason I came back is because my friends are always on and tagging me in posts. I love being able to find out what is going on all over the world, but also seeing cute dog videos. There is so much you can find out through Facebook. As for Twitter, I get the impression of a conversational platform. I see how useful listening to conversations are for companies, because they can get better and grow. On the other hand, you can see what your favorite artist is talking about. Next, the impression I get from Instagram is photography. Everyone is sharing photos and videos. Instagram is a visual resume, presenting your company, talent, or just to show the world who you are. Lastly, Snapchat gives the impression of  being fun and exciting, because you are able to send pictures and videos, but they disappear within a few seconds. Users have to decide very quickly whether the memory will be saved, being that it disappears in seconds.  All of these social media platforms have things in common. They are all used to stay connected. It is used for both personal and/or professional reasons. Everyone has a profile, and a news feed.

2018.

I can't believe it's already 2018! A few days before the new year hit, I definitely had a lot to think about. My future, my career, my goals, my life in general. Every new year everyone always says they want to do better, and it's going to be their year, but many times we don't truly follow through. This year is different for me. I am more motivated and eager to start a new chapter. I'm ready for new experiences, and more challenges! Not just professionally, but personally. Sometimes I give up and say i'll start tomorrow. But honestly, today is the best time to start. No more procrastinating. I am very excited to see what this year brings me. I dove into 2018 with positivity, patience, confidence, and bravery! Everything is up to YOU.

Blog: Blog vs Wiki

-
A blog is a diary-type exposition that is presented in reverse chronological order. Blogs can cover multiple topics/subjects from personal to political. Bloggers are able to focus on one subject, or multiple. Blogs are a place where you can freely express your opinions and/or expertise on a subject. On the other hand, Wiki is a collaborative website where you create, edit and structure content. You are to able to edit others' content, and they can edit yours. Also, you can plan events, and work on projects collectively. Today's networked world allows us to share information, ideas, or to educate others. When you compare blogs and wikis,  it is the same as comparing individual and collaborative. However, blogs can be collaborative; everyone can add useful information and comments on other peoples posts.

Creativity and New Media

https://www.magisto.com/album/video/Jz9xRwddHANxJCwGDmEwCXt_?c=o&l=vsm&o=a For my example of how New Media fosters creativity, I mashed videos and photos I created, added a sound track and a title. I wanted to make a short clip that displays a few of my amazing experiences at music festivals with my best friends. I used Magisto, an online video editor. It is a mobile and web application for video editing and production. It allows users to add a creative aspect to videos and images they produce. What's great about this application is anyone can use it, professionals and non-professionals.
