According to Wikipedia ‘Technology is the collection of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation.’ When i think about what my … More Virtual Reality-New Technology Assignment
United Airlines United Airlines…. Where to begin. It is very unfortunate that they have had so many problems and that these problems have been shared across almost every social media plat form, news media outlet, and printed publication. I heard all about the instance where they physically forced a passenger off of a plane to … More Reflection on Social Media Case 12: United Breaks Guitars
We have talked at length in class about how Facebook and YouTube don’t get along. What makes this case interesting is that a user (in this case the band OK Go) challenged YouTube and ultimately Google in an attempt to avoid sharing their video on a google platform.

Anthony Weiner made an epic mistake thinking that he could not only deny involvement in the illegal activity of distributing obscene material to a minor, but I am truly baffled that he thought that no one would ‘fact check’ him as the case study states. We live in a world of unlimited access to personal … More Reflection on Social Media Case 7: Anthony Weiner’s Post
**DISCLAIMER** This is quite possibly the most creepy I have ever felt in my lifetime. While the assignment was not meant for this I now feel qualified to work for the FBI in the internet intelligence department. Because Landen (most likely for fear of something unfortunate like this happening to him) has excellent privacy restrictions … More Online Reputation
I love the positivity that can come out of social media. The story about ‘The Basketball Cop” is impactful not only for the amazing story that it is, but also that it was shared and made viral by social media. It is easy to find flaws in social media platforms and it often has a … More Reflection on Social Media Case 6: Basketball Cop
It is my theory that when given the opportunity people will complain online. When PayPal posted to their Facebook page they opened themselves up to ridicule. Which can be the case anytime a large company posts on social media platforms. There will always be both negativity and positivity associated with social media posting.
