Your Online Footprint is HOW BIG?

Your Online Footprint is HOW BIG? As a 19 year old college student, involved both socially and academically in the world of social media, I would without a doubt say I have a fairly large online presence. It is interesting to really take a moment to analyze this question since it is something I am so immersed in daily, yet never really think hard about. To begin, I am on just about every social media platform that is currently active. I am not proud to admit but I would say that covers Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Tik Tok, LinkedIn, VSCO, and Pinterest. I do not have a personal website, however I would consider my Instagram to be the closest thing to that. I work to create aesthetic posts that all contribute to an overall brand image for myself.

Our society operates in way of a Democracy rather than a Dictatorship so not only is it encouraged, but it is one’s patriotic duty to criticize the government in order to better the nation for everyone. As stable change suggests, if people don’t have an open opportunity to express these opinions, they are significantly ...

Snapchat Shaping Social (Media)  Snapchat was invented in 2011 by two Stanford University students and has since made extraordinary strides in shaping social media. The initial intention in creating the app was to develop a social media site that allowed people to send messages and images that disappear after being opened. Since its founding in 2011, the app is now used by over 158 million people every day and has gone as far as to serve as a platform for advertisers to reach a younger generation of consumers. I think based on the Diffusion of Innovation theory, one of the primary reasons Snapchat was so quick to gain attention, was because it was perceived by consumers as something “new.” Prior to Snapchat, there was no other social media platform that allowed for people to communicate in a way such as this. The concept of photos and videos disappearing after opening was perceived as exciting. I think that people were intrigued by the idea of trying something unlike they had ex...
