Chapter 2 blog about technology

Connecting and reaching out are core values of everyday life. Technology brings a lot into our core values in life and also in the work field by not only connecting everyone but giving endless possibilities that come with tech. In any workplace or any restaurant or most places honestly, you will see technology. It is the one thing our society can all agree on. It opens many doors for companies because of things like digital marketing that is a cheaper option for most companies so the original marketing budget a company already has can be lessened by using digital marketing. As for things like colleges and students technology saves us every day between online assignments, online textbooks, and typing up papers most students live through their technology to survive.  

Online learning was a large section of chapter 2, it explains all the benefits for students like me and students in this class. Online learning sounds scary because we are all traumatized by Covid but in cases such as this class, it is extremely beneficial. Working at one's own pace is a large part of this because when working in a setting like this you do not have to wait on anyone you can get done whatever suits you at that moment (as long as it is done before the due date). Also, help is never far all we would have to do is use our emails and contact the professor when stuck. The best part of online learning for me is the things you discover along the way because when working by yourself you get good at self-correcting so it helps me to coach myself essentially. Technology has come so far and has made education extremely accessible, the possibilities are at your fingertips which is the nice part.

 Emily Nelson Social Media Etiquette - Instagram Matt Rife example How to carry yourself in an online environment is very important, social media etiquette should be a staple in everyone's online presence. Instagram like most other platforms has community guidelines which consist of  “Intellectual property, appropriate imagery, spam, illegal content, hate speech/bullying and abuse, self-injury, and graphic violence”. These things are prohibited on the app of Instagram for a reason and all of the things listed above are problematic and harmful. We should make social media a safe and inclusive place for everyone. Social media etiquette should be known and abided by all because there is nothing worse than an ignorant person on social media.

Instagram in the Business World

Emily Nelson 03/26/24 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU655jcNxKA Instagram has been around since 2010 and is still being used to this day as a social media platform that connects people. As well as being a form of how you express yourself with your own posts. Instagram is a user-friendly platform and as long as you respect the guidelines and do not post anything problematic Instagram is an amazing outlet. It is also a great tool for not only personal use but for the business world as well. Social media marketing from all platforms cut companies' marketing budgets in half therefore saving for revenue that can later be distributed throughout the company. This is a key fact that helped get the ball rolling for Instagram to take things a step forward.  Instagram allows businesses to run stores through their platform making it easy to reach customers because all they have to do is go on Instagram and tap a post that is linked to a shop on that person's account.
