My personal Online Footprint

-


















My personal online footprint is about average bigger than most of the baby boomer generation, and smaller than the millennials, the small children about age eight probably have an equal amount of social media presence as I do. I worked in the cyber security industry for my internship this summer and the amount of smaller kids and people in there 40’s that have a big impact on the internet actually shocked me, I thought my own generation Z would have the most in this area. The social media sites that I use consist of Instagram, Snapchat (although I am boycotting that at the moment), LinkedIn, blogger, Gmail and Facebook as I had a cookie business run throughout my FB profile. I have put out pictures, retweeted links and sold lots of cookies which would be linked to Children’s National Hospital In Washington D.C.
A visitor could learn that I attend High Point University in High Point NC, they could know that I am doing an internship at a company called Grocyber, I am a sophomore and I am double majoring, I have six siblings, my name is Emily, I ran my own business for charity when I was in High school and today I love to travel the world, they would know that I played soccer when I was a kid and went to Briar Woods High School. My media presence is big and does have an impact on my digital footprint today. The private information I have voluntary given out is my phone number, my email and my FB page link, address, as well as my name I have given these out to buy things, to sell cookies to apply for college and to receive emails.

I took and English class my first semester of college highlighting does social media make you lonely and I watched this TED talk by Sherry Turkle, yes I do believe with the innovation and new creation and advancement of these technologies and social media as well as the technology these devices that social media is used on such as iPhone, iPod, laptop, apple watch they can have an impact on bullying, loneliness, depression, and can hurt us. By taking away the thought just talking to your friends and families in person, eating a family dinner, going on a date without social media, going outside and social media living life not through websites and new apps. Technology is hurting us more than helping us our for example, necks always bent down causing scoliosis and fingers  and noses always tapping away and deep in our phones causing bad vision and wreck our eyes, arthritis for our joints. So put your devices down and go hangout in the sunshine.

Crystal Ball, Thoughts on HPU

-
A sparkling rainbow of colors swirled within white-gray fog.   The fog began to part.   There within that crystal ball, my future lay before my eyes.   So many times this fall of sophomore year I’d been asked What do you want to be when you grow up?   A glimpse of what would be aligned perfectly with the vision I’d had for myself.   It’s a beautiful autumn day, not a cloud in the sky, but the air crisp with the promise of colder days to come.   With excitement and anticipation, my footsteps make noise as they stir up the fallen leaves.   It’s my second year at the High Point University (where did the time go?), and I see myself on my way to the physical therapy clinic on campus, the school of communications and the long trek to the school of business....dreaming about what senior year with the crisp fall leaves will bring me.    I know myself.   Through years of soccer, I’d been on the receiving en...

I think in this modern-day society we should seek out more emphasis on parenting this is a very important aspect of human life it has a big impact on how you act, and effects the person you are today. Based on looking at the chapter 5 notes the different parenting styles are all on the personality of the parent and what specifically what benefits the kids more. Warmth and Control are two very important aspects of parenting and raising a child and seeing how your parents mold into the person they are in twenty years. These qualities used with these parenting styles can tell you who is more in power, who is too lenient, who is loved, who doesn’t care, who has the perfect mix of strict and fun. Looking at these particular styles has immediately 2 things that jump out at me. One if you had asked me this question a few years ago I most definitely would have a different answer on how I was raised, and Two I look back and see that my parents made most of the right calls when I was growing up...

Diffusion of Innovations is the explanation of how, why, and at what rate do these new ideas of technology spread. In the book Diffusions of innovations written by: Everett Rodgers published in 1962, in this he states.

The main. Categories of people are Early adopters, innovators, early majority, late majority and laggards. This concept of diffusion of innovations was first studied by the French in the late 19 th century. The five stages in the decision innovation process is the Knowledge, persuasion, decision (reject or accept) implantation, and the confirmation. The first step is when an induvial is first exposed to the innovation but has no idea about any information on it has not been driven, ins...
