Now of
days children are growing up glued to iPhones and iPads, updating their social
media at a very young age. I am a child of the digital era as well; however, I
missed it as a child and I’m completely content with that. I hate that we have
to be glued to our phones twenty-four seven, it’s kind of ridiculous. Also, how
obsessed we are with getting likes, its crazy, I know we say were not and we
try not to be, but we are and we can’t help it.
As for
me I guess I would say my life is on my phone, if I lost it I would be pretty
upset. It’s nice to disconnect though. A quote I once heard is, “disconnect to
reconnect”.
I
personally use most social media platforms. The ones I use are as listed: Tumblr
- · Snapchat
- · Tumblr
- ·
Twitter
- · Facetime
- · Youtube
- · Pandora
I have also dabbled in Flickr and Venmo.
It’s
crazy how social media is such a big part of my life. I find myself checking
things constantly. I would say almost every few minutes I’m checking for a text
message or notification.
HABITS!
I have
developed a habit were I can not fall asleep until all my social media
platforms are checked and looked through. The one’s that are part of my bedtime
ritual are the following:
·
Instagram
·
Snapchat
·
Facebook
·
And Twitter
Viewing
Social Platforms!
I view
these social media apps on an:
- · IPhone
- · Laptop
- · Tablet
A few
summers ago I did an internship with a small literary agency and I was
considered their social media intern. I had to post updates to their Twitter
account and their Tumblr account. I soon started working on creating them an
Instagram account. It was challenging getting that started for them, trying to
get them a bunch of followers that would be interested in what they do.
Future
with social media!
In my
future I see myself continuing to use these social platforms and hopefully not
just for my personal use but also for my professional use as well. I would use
it for networking and communicating with clients and companies.
