Forget Billboards, We Have Instagram for that Now.

https://en.instagram-brand.com/assets Although it wasn’t my topic specifically, another technological invention that really struck me during the presentations, was that of social media- specifically Instagram. Instagram was founded in 2010 by two men named Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. On average, there are 80 billion photos shared and 3.5 billion on Instagram every day and a majority of users are between 18 and 29 years old. Along with other social media platforms, Instagram is a huge way in which my generation has connected with people. To a smaller degree, my friends and family enjoy posting what they are up to, and returning the communication with likes and comments. This simply allows people near and far to share their experiences and life-moments with one another from wherever you are located. However, on a much larger degree, Instagram has revolutionized the way businesses market products and services to a target audience. In the realm of social media’s evolution, the id...

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 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...

8 Values of Free Expression

8 Values of Free Expression  As I was evaluating which of the ‘Eight Values of Free Expression’ is the most important and quite honestly in this case, most underrated, I chose the value of protecting dissent. I found striking similarities in this value and the idea of stable change, however I found that protecting dissent resonated with me more. This concept essentially covers the idea of protecting one’s minority view and right to disagree with the government. I think often times people have a fear of sharing their view when it contradicts with that of the public. This unfortunately just lends itself to suppression of opinion and in turn, an inevitable outbreak. 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 ...
