To Be Or Not To Be...Influenced

Hi all, as given the name of this blog and the fact that I’ve said, ‘written’ it so many times, might make you wonder why me, a kinda social media less 21year old, is writing about social media. I’ll tell you why it’s because I love putting myself in awkward situations and seeing if I can B.S. my way out of it. Though, this post is going to air on the side of kinda instead of social media less. Today we are going off of a 60 minutes interview with some influencers and celebrities. You might want to look at the story here before you read on, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/60-minutes-kim-kardashian-logan-paul-social-media-influencers/ But if you’re like me and you like putting yourself in situations you might be able to B.S. your way out of, then who am I to stop you, you little rebel. 😏😎 Now, I because I don’t have any of the media sites the kids have these days, I don’t follow these influencers. BUT, I do, or did know what Vine was, and I would watch compilations of their [Logan ...

The Lost Tiger and Its Big Adventure

Before I take a dive into the analyzing, inferring, and interpreting, I just have to say this story is so cute. I wanted nothing more than to run and find my old stuffed animal and give it a big and squishy hug. If you don’t know what story I’m talking about check it out here: https://shortyawards.com/8th/boy-leaves-stuffed-tiger-at-tpa-returns-to-a-tale-of-tigers-big-adventure-see-more-at-httpww What was done successfully to meet the wants and needs of the target audience? *cannonball*, we’re diving in now. Do I even have to say why this was successful in the presence of social media? Everybody loves a feel-good story; it’s one of the three points you use to get a reader’s attention; ethos, logos, pathos.

Kinda Social Media Less

I don’t do much; I’m like Perry the Platypus. Since I don’t go anywhere that’s Instagram or Snapchat worthy; I don’t visit any major social media sites. No Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, anybody I want to talk to I have their phone number. I tried just about all of these when I was in high school but I’m lazy, and it took too much time to filter, format, post witty comments, and catch up with so-called “friends.” While I may not have those social media sites, I stay up to date through Buzzfeed. I love it; it’s a mix of serious news with silly quizzes and gossip. The rest of my time is spent on YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Spotify; I like media but not the social kind. As from the list presented, you can tell that I don’t stick with one video streaming site. They all offer different varieties of viewing, and one is not superior over the other. But for music streaming, Spotify is superior to all other music sites. It’s not only the maneuverability of t...
