Thanksgiving break '17


For Thanksgiving break, I didn't go home like every other student did. In fact, I choose not to go home in Miami over Thanksgiving break. Yeah, it would've been nice to reunite with my family and have a feast with them back in my hometown. Instead, I had went to Chicago, aka "Chi-Town". I was given this opportunity because my friend had asked me to come. Let me be more specific. It was my girlfriend that had asked me to come home with her and spend time with her family. There was no way I could say no! She is a student at Ohio Northern (ONU), like myself. Her father had drove to pick us up from school to drive back to the city. We stayed in Chicago for the whole week. We took a drive around downtown, hung out at navy pier and had pizza! Overall, I had a blast and was fascinated by the city. I would recommend anybody to take a trip to Chicago to explore the different landmarks and locations the city has. The city is ginormous! That was my first time visiting Chicago, and it definitely won't be my last!

Becoming "Twitter Poppin'!"

Chapter 9 on The Art of Social Media speaks about making your twitter chat interesting. A twitter chat is a live event in which people put a hashtag in their tweets to discuss some topic in particular. What you have is a "host " and a "guest". The host tweets the questions with the hashtag, and a guest tweets responses with the same exact hashtag. The people who are on Twitter at that very moment during the live event want to know what exactly the topic is about so that they may pitch in on some questions, comments, and retweets. Twitter chats is a perfect tool to get twitter users to engage with other users. In addition, twitter chats present a special challenge because guest need to think and type fast. Some of the users find it easier to speak rapidly than to type. Most of the people would use Google+Hangouts in order to speak rather than type. A great solution to having a live twitter chat is to use a short hashtag that everyone could remember. This a...

Donald Trump and Social Media

Image
In today's society, the majority of people get carried away with thinking they wouldn't be at certain places without social media. For example, the reason why a person gets a job is because a person on their social media platform was introducing their business company to get their followers to join their business. President Trump has stated that he would not be where he is today with out social media in general. According to an article on VOA News  , President Trump defended his regular use of social media and said that he may not have won the White House without it. He is specifically referring to the use of Twitter because this is his platform of choice. It's also another way to keep the people updated on what is going on and his current plans. "Tweeting is like a typewriter. When I put it out, you immediately put in on your show. I doubt I would be here if it weren't for social media, to be honest with you." said President Trump. This is the wor...

The Future in Social Media: 2018 and Beyond

As a generation, we all can come to realize that the 21st century is evolved around social media interaction. But we also should come to think to ourselves this: where will social media heading in the future? Is the use of social media gonna increase rapidly or decrease? Perhaps people might be willing to give it all up and go back to face-to-face interactions. In my opinion, life is better in a social aspect when communicating and interacting with others in person. The reason as to why I think this is because you feel like you are really involved with the person's well being just because you are in their physical presence. At times, interactions with people in person can cause an intimate relationships and long-lasting friendships. Who knows? Maybe somehow society can reduce the obsession over the engagement in social media platforms and take a step out in the real world to what is really surrounding them. In this blog, I will be discussing the few factors we can consider t...
