Anyone can be an influencer, not jus the young. Ever since being a user on Tik Tok and I’ve seen a variety of influencers on there, my favorite are the usual moms, who are cleaners, there’s many brands of cleaning supplies other than just Clorox and Mr. Clean if you didn’t already know! Social media has the influence of some much and love that…[Read more]

I thought this was hilarious! It’s crazy how one random tik tok can become the next phenomenon when that wasn’t the plan the entire time. Social media and its users have a crazy way to make something go viral and become a trend just like that. It’s awesome because. that means its should be easy to spread good in the world. but in a world where…[Read more]

I thought QR codes were a great incorporation into restaurants and all kinds of businesses at the beginning of COVID to make thinks paperless and touch-less. Obviously reusable menus should always be wiped after every use at a. restaurant but that might not have been a top priority for buisness, and sometimes even with that clean now it might not…[Read more]

It’s funny because I have Venmo and PayPal applications both my phone and I never thought to set up Applepay. I think that is quite creepy that you got a notification to pay someone whoo was near you with an iPhone and had apple pay set up. I know Venmo and PayPal have numerous security checkpoints when it comes too Venmoing someone new and to…[Read more]

If there’s one thing I’m bad with is charging my phone. My fiends always like to remind me that my phone is of course dying. If this app was available especially through an ios update I wouldn’t mind my friends and family who I share a location with to randomly text me to remind me to charge my phone especially before going to bed or getting ready…[Read more]

There are times I have to close out of Instagram because oof how many times they changed the algorithms to being mostly ads and businesses/brands, rather than the people I actually follow. This goes with websites who clearly only make money off of promoting ads in the side of the website, which happens often when clicking random links when looking…[Read more]

As I see a rebrand might be necessary after all the bad karma Zuckerberg has had, Facebook and Instagram still have their original names. When opening the apps at the bottom it says “From Meta.” If they were to change their name it would be a big big change especially since Facebook is already known and I think if they did change their entire name…[Read more]

I’ve never heard of DuckDuckGo, and I think an automatic go to for Google will be hard to transition for this. I mean even to get to this site and Bing you have to google it unless you already know the url. Google already. knows so much about me so at this point I don’t see myself changing over because of the convenience.

I’ve noticed since this announcement that Facebook and Instagram, and any other social media platform owned through now Meta, still has their original names! When opening the app at the bottom it says “From Meta.” I understand why Zuckerberg is doing this because as you mentioned Hannah, Tik Tok is probably the most used and popular for generation…[Read more]

Claire, the very first Facebook group I joined was Dogspotting! Since then I’ve joined many more groups similar to it! I tend to use groups to buy and resell clothing b before donating just to see if I can get some cash out of it! Agreed to your question on Facebooks purpose to the group feature.

Kathryn this is a great post because I’m on Tik Tok often getting stuck in the infinity scroll for ours. I don’t know if Tik Tok reviews ins reports thoroughly or takes things a little too seriously because it’s often I see users whoo are shadow banned, banned from commenting or posting, videos under reviews constantly despite following the safety…[Read more]

Agreed to the comments above, I see why they’re taking that step towards a social media blackout, however I feel like it could be harmful to their business. I feel like they would have to have a pretty loyal following in order to keep up with their products outside of social media. If this shows to be successful I could maybe see other brands…[Read more]

Sunaina, I love this post! I personally don’t see a problem with a robot voice, because that is exactly what it is. It’s just the beginning so with any type of technology, there will be ways for it to improve. If this. is what McDonalds has to do in result of the staff shortage then I’m for it! However, I hope this doesn’t keep people from…[Read more]

I haven’t updated my phone yet, but I’m really intrigued to test out the Focus mode because I get distracted very easily too. I tend to keep my phone on do no disturb most of the day so I’m not tempted to go on my phone. It’s crazy to think that Apple still finds ways to enhance their technology to make it better for it’s users. After each update…[Read more]

First off, candy corn is not it. Second, thanksgiving flavored candy corn just seems like they are trying too hard to be jelly beans, We’re all aware jelly beans have the craziest flavors, and jelly beans can be good, but the wax flavored green beans or turkey gravy candy corn just don’t seem like the best route to go. I could see it as b being a…[Read more]

I have noticed that in some twitter threads there are hidden responses because of the vulgarness of responses. I think other than engaging in twitter fights, I think this is great for people in general when going to post anything. Because once it’s on the internet and even after deleting, it’s there forever. Social media is a blessing and a curse.…[Read more]

Love this post! Social Media and the internet today have such a negative impact on peoples mental health, and I will gladly admit I am guilty of it. I was so happy when I realized my account turned off the view of likes because I didn’t care as much. I posted pictures I liked because of me, not for others, just trying to share to family and…[Read more]

Dan as you who doesn’t use social media, I’m sure this had not much of an affect on you. I know it gave me a chance to put my phone down and focus on everything around me rather what doesn’t matter on my phone. I know it gave me a chance to have a great mental health day and reevaluate how much I need to cut back on social media. As for those that…[Read more]
