Assignment 3

  My social media usage is pretty limited to Instagram at this point. When I was younger I also used twitter and snapchat pretty frequently but at this point it's mainly just Instagram. I was using snapchat this week to talk to a friend who I don't speak to usually. I think our friendship before revolved around snapchat as a messaging platform so it was almost as if we were falling back on old habits. I noticed that my Instagram usage is normally any downtime or break where I don’t have too much else to do. For example if I’m on break at work, walking somewhere, or using the bathroom. I would say the other major portion of Instagram usage is right before I go to sleep I will spend time scrolling through reels. I am about to graduate so I threw in my Handshake usage because I had gone in and updated my work experience as well as looked at some messages from recruiters. All of my social media usage takes place on my phone because it's significantly more convenient than a computer to look at stories or something like that.

My Instagram usage is pretty limited I mostly just watch reels and stories and might scroll through some posts. I like to send funny posts to a couple of group chats as well as one other friend but thats the only communication I truly have besides hitting the like button. I think my Instagram usage is Pretty consistent and will range between 1 to 2 hrs depending on what I have going on that day. I will say that their may be some correlation between how productive I am and how low my Instagram usage is.

Hands-On Assignment 2

      I define social media as any internet based platform  where a person or business can share/post information to the public or their own selected audience. Social networking is the connections that are made facilitating social media. The social media sites that I use regularly are Instagram, Snapchat, and LinkedIn. I have other social media apps on my phone but I don’t use them at all. I use Snapchat as a messaging app and Instagram to see what my friends are doing and share what I am doing as well. LinkedIn is used for networking and applying for jobs.      I use Snapchat and LinkedIn infrequently maybe once a week, but I am on Instagram multiple times a day. I feel like I have a fairly healthy relationship with social media and using it doesn’t affect how I feel about myself or others for the most part. One thing I would say is that I tend to spend too much time on social media which is a little unhealthy. Every week my phone sends me a report ...

Third Learning Journal

When I started reading this chapter I immediately started to think about the news I heard about Mr. Beast. He was offered 1 billion dollars for his youtube channel which may sound crazy until you break down the numbers. I just looked up his video views over the last 30 days and it was 1.027 billion views, his largest video was a squid games video which had 238 million views….which is more than double the superbowl. At the end of the day social media is all about numbers and where it started was how many people liked or even watched my post, but it seems like it has slowly changed into an ad cash cow. Social media influencers exist because of the amount of eyes they get on them and this correlates to potentially how many eyes a company can get on their product. Something else that stood out to me is how much social media has grown over the last 10 years. To me it seems like Instagram has been around forever but the fact that their users have increased from 1 to 2 billion users is crazy...
