Bryan Arnette's Learning Blog

       After reading the material, I agree with a great deal of it. People are not always aware of how the different sites will track and record what they are searching for and using it to either put the person into a category or use that same information to be able to sell them something. From the time that I was in the military I was a Cryptologist, and we would use people information to be able to put them into special categories, just as the reading stated that what you search for and share on social media could end you up on a watch list or some form of investigation. It is odd what the government can use to be able to track someone or even find the person of interest in something. I remember a case I saw on TV where they used someone’s social media to track down a relative that was involved in a murder and were able to gain all their history to use it against them.   I personally do not like how when you look up something on any other device then the nex...

 Media in my opinion is the information that is out there whether it be recordings, images or things that can be used to better explain something or a point that you are trying to get across. Social Networking is when you try to build a network for those around you such as friends, coworkers, or those that you want in your life. I feel that sometimes they can be used for the wrong reasons. To be honest I only use Facebook, TikTok and sometimes Instagram. I have used, well tried to use Sanpchat, Twitter and once upon a time when Pintrest was popular. Facebook mainly I use to keep in touch with what family I have left and some old friends. I don’t have a big friends list because I keep those in my life very close to me and don’t just friend and share things with everyone. TikTok is mainly for laughs and when I want to just get my mind away from things, but the only problem is sometimes you can get so into watching all the people do some of the stupidest things that you become lost. I...

  Prompt 1: For me I don’t post a lot on to Facebook or any of the other various social media apps. I find that sometimes social media is used in improper ways to spread gossip and things about people. I think some also use it for a way to hide their true situations. When I first started with Facebook, I would post like daily on them spreading my personal life and verbalizing really things that should not always be known to the public. Now, I as stated above rarely use any one of them. I could never get into twitter at all because of the character limits and I never seemed to understand it. I have since my divorce gone back and pretty much scrubbed my Facebook and shut down everything else. I even made a separate one for my personal life and my school/professional life. Prompt 2: Social media and self-expression – I feel this is more of a personal preference depending on you are using it and what you are sharing on it. Selfies – I don’t really care for selfies myself becaus...
