A Reflection - LJ 3

Hi Everyone,

The start of my blog experience has been something I have truly enjoyed. I think it has helped me learn about myself and specficially my social media tendencies. After going through some of the other blogs that have been done I believe I am less reliant on social media than most. Yes, I use social media to get some world news and sports news but I do not use social media "socially".

I don't post anything of or about myself and I have noticed that isn't the norm for most people using social media in this day and age. I have reflected a bit and I don't think this is something that will change moving forward. Social media for me will always be simply just for obtaining some news and following some sports pages I enjoy.

Some thoughts from some of our past readings recently would be on we are data. I have always known everything we do online is tracked so reading more about it didn't shake me much. It wont push me away from interenet and social media useage. I think its a bit eerie but I am not posting anything about myself anyways and my online tendencies are nothing to hide. Moving foward nothing will change on this front for me.

Welcome everyone to Dillon's Corner. Lets start off by introducing myself. My name is Dillon Itani and I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida. I still reside in the Tampa Bay area and do not see myself leaving Tampa anytime soon. I currently am entering the final courses towards my Information Studies degree and am looking forward to getting done with these last couple semesters and moving forward into a career in the field of study. I am a pretty outgoing person and enjoy playing in a couple different of soccer leagues with friends, going out on the weekends, and spending time with family when I can. As far as professional experience I have been in the car business for most of my adult life and have had some jobs as well in the recruiting industry hiring people for a few different companies during that time. I am not to big into social media so this blog experience will be something different for me. I do have an Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat, however, I rarely use any of the...

Hand On Assignment 2

     Media and Social Networking are not one in the same. However, I do believe social networking is a form of media. Media in my own words would be any forms of digital communication, be it the internet, social media, the television, etc. Anything that is publicly transmit I would classify as media. Social Networking is a form of media. Social Networking is using the internet in order to stay connected with others. With these definitions you can see why I would classify social networking as a form of media.      Currently, the social networking sites that I use are Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Facebook. I use these sites weekly, and some I use more frequently than others. I would say some I use daily and some maybe once a week. I use all of them for entertainment and news purposes and that is about it. Not much actually social networking is done through these sites.       The use of my social media doesn't have an impact ...

Social Media and Healthcare: LJ7

Hi Everyone, This past week our readings were focused on the links between healthcare and social media. We had articles that went over if social media can have positve impacts on healthcare, online healthcare and social support services, the spread of misinformation of healthcare, etc. The articles that stood out most to me were "Can Social Media Have A Positive Impact On Global Healthcare" by A. Arnold; and "Impact of Rumors or Misinformation on Coronavirus disease in Social Media by Hossain and Mazumder. These readings did not change how I use social media however they have brought some light to things I didn't have much information on before. One thing I was surprised to read was in the article by Arnold was that millenials are ditching primary healthcare in favor of social media. Many millenials are seeking on demand support for healthcare issues via social media services and if needed they will go to urgent care clinics rather than primary doctors or ERs due to ...
