The Beginning of It All: Module One

The beginning of this blog will be about talking and exploring content in which I use the most often!

The sites I frequent the most: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest

*A link to each can be found right at top^^^

Facebook: I use this site the most to connect with friends, family, and coworkers and stay relevant on information, news and sources from around the world as Facebook is a great hub of “in the now” information.

Instagram: This is used to share and post a bit more of my personal life sharing pictures of my interests, partner, and daily life! I find Instagram a great way to connect on the web and cellular phone applications.

Pinterest: This is a great way to find information and sources of many different aspects of life. I have created boards in which conceptualize what I like, do for a living and future plans such as my impending marriage.

Digital media is a part of life in which most Americans and people around the globe can use to stay connected and learn more about others. Digital media can be frustrating as it can be behind, full of deceit and rumors and can be extremely biased based on who is posted on the digital platform. In some ways, digital media can be amazing and convenient because you can learn about places and people from all around the world with just a couple clicks or swipes!

My preferred digital media is Facebook.                                       downloadfb

I find Facebook to the reigning king of my digital life! Facebook can be used to connect, inform, shop and much much more!

On average I receive emails almost hourly from various companies with updates, offers, and my personal favorite DEALS!  These emails are times can be frustrating to collect many throughout the day, but the benefit of having this knowledge is much more beneficial!

  • The emails that really catch my eye are emails with phrasing about deals on a short timeline
    • TODAY ONLY DISCOUNTS 
    • CATCH THIS BEFORE IT LEAVES
    • THIS WEEKEND ONLY

These ads make a real pop of urgency in my mind, and make me want to not only read and decipher the deals in the email but to shop will the deals are at a peak!

The use of digital media is used so frequently by companies now to bring awareness, sell, and advertise for the company using social media sites, emails and blogs to create attention, and bring in more eyes on the company!
