Making a webpage

In class we had to make a webpage. I learned some things from it.
1. I'm not that great at it and needed a lot of assistance
2. It's actually not that hard to make a website.
3. Its cool to be able to search my website on the internet
I think having to do this in class was a challenge that I liked, it taught me that there's more to the media world than I thought and it made me have a new level of respect for website creators, I could never do it so power to the people that do!

Sherry Turkle's TED Talk

I just watched Sherry Turkle's TED Talk and I have some thoughts. I thought her talk really opened my eyes about how addicted everyone is to their phones. She talked about how people text and check emails and online shop during classes, meetings and presentations. Not going to lie, I'm guilty of this. I'll be watching TV and scrolling through Twitter, Instagram or shopping on Amazon at the same. I then realize I missed a whole episode and then I'm shocked that I just sat on my phone for a whole hour and didn't realize it. Sherry included a picture of her daughter and her friends all sitting next to each other and all looking down at their phones. "They're together but not actually together." What a wild thing. I know when to not be on my phone and when appropriate times are OK to be on it. I don't think everyone knows that boundary and it's becoming a huge issue in society.

Game of Thrones Craze

Game of Thrones Season 8 ep 3, aired this past Sunday. It was the longest episode of the series coming in at 82 minutes of the longest battle in TV history. This was the craziest battle because it was between the living and the dead. I was on the edge of my seat, sweating for the whole episode. Twitter, Facebook and Instagram went crazy with memes after the episode. The GOT fan club on social media creates this community that anyone can be apart of. I love being able to understand the posts. I honestly feel bad for people that don't watch the show because their feed had to be blowing up. The rate at which posts circulate is insane and it's thanks to how easy and convenient social media is to use.

Facebook Decline vs. Instagram Rise

Image
I came across an article  talking about how Instagram average time spent is rising while Facebook is declining. The popularity among facebook is facing competition as young social media users are attracted towards Instagram and Snapchat. I think this has to do with the Instagram craze and the younger generations being addicted to Snapchat. I still use Facebook daily but my posts consists mostly of pictures for my family and family friends to see, my biggest fans are my parents' friends lol! For younger people, the attention isn't going to come from Facebook, it's going to come from Instagram or Snapchat.
