MORNING NEWS WITH CIERRA

-

Apple News is one of the top 5 new sources that I use. It is my most used a reliable source. Apple News consist of many different media outlets. I follow CNN, The Washington Post, ESPN, Time, BuzzFeed News, USA Today, and Many more. I like Apple News because you can set notifications, and you will be alerted when news articles are posted. You will always get the latest, and fastest news. The filter news articles based on your favorite channels and/or topics. Also, you can keep track of COVID-19 locally and nationwide. You can also follow your local new stations/outlet on Apple News and stay updated. I would recommend Apple News to anyone because the app comes with all iPhones, and you are able to customize Apple News with New Outlets you like. Even catering to all your interest in politics, sports, food and entertainment.

Twitter is another news source that I use, not as often as Apple News definitely number 2. I like Twitter because you can follow media/news outlets and you can retweet articles and you are able to post articles from other new outlets. Twitter offers a 'What's Happening' sections where I can find different new on Sport, Entertainment, COVID-19, US Elections, and any Trending News. When you see News Articles on Twitter you are also able to see the news updates, tweets, and videos from the profile. I would recommend Twitter, because a lot of people are already using twitter to stay connect, and you can also use it to stay connected with news and media. You can directly connect with your favorite sources.

Although Facebook is mostly used for connecting with family and friends. It can be a quick and easy way to get news. I am able to keep up with news that my Facebook friends post also. Just like Twitter, I am able to follow news outlets, and view breaking news live via Facebook. I do not use Facebook as my main source of news, but I do follow story and information posted. I also follow my local new page, for events and breaking news. I recommend Facebook to my peers, you can use the social media site that you have easy access to in the palm of your hand. You can even share and educate others.

Instagram is the source I use for News on Celebrities, Musicians, Hip Hop and Culture. I follow a lot of celebrities, rappers, and models. Instagram is the platform a lot of them use to connect with their followers. It is an easy way for people of my generation to express themselves, and well as using it as a platform of awareness. Instagram was very influential during the election, like most social media outlets. During times like the election and COVID-19 you can follow hashtags and other social media accounts. I follow the CDC for more COVID-19 new updates, as well as ABC News for all news and information.I recommend Instagram, even though you can't directly get new. You can follow pages and get direct, quick and easy updates from those pages, especially news and entertainment.

Tik Tok has been very popular recently, and with that a lot of people use their tik tok platform to inform people and educate them. Tik Tok is not my main source of news. When I do come across an informing video on my For You Page, or such. I will use that information and fact check it based on the other new outlets that I use. Tik Tok can be mostly sources of people's opinions, I make sure to be mindful of the information I am using or getting from Tik Tok. I recommend Tik Tok to the younger generation, there are people on Tik Tok using there account to educate and inform their followers. Everything may not be factual, but I recommend taking the time out to double check the information as I do when I found things on Tik Tok.

What I learned: The First Text Message

 In 1992 Neil Papworth, a 22-year-old test engineer made texting history when he sent the world's first text to a cell phone. The recipient was Richard Jarvis, who was attending a Christmas party near Vodafone Headquarters in Newbury, England. The text message simply read "Merry Christmas". Later in 1993, Nokia became the first phone maker to support SMS (Short Message Services) messages. One of the first cell phones that could send text was the Nokia 2110.  In 1997 Nokia released the first cell phone featuring a QWERTY keyboard: the 9000i Communicator. In1999 another important milestone in the history of texting was the introduction of cross-network texts. SMS messaging found a new purpose when the TV show. American Idol pioneered "text to vote". Texting has changed the way we communicate. Our generation has adapted to life with iPhones, how readily easy we can get in contact with people and get to know people. Not only can we text via phone, but we can also te

My World of Technology: Social Media and More

My View on Technology Technology is our world, it's how we contact with people, or how we get the answer to questions no one seems to know. Technology can be very beneficial and it can be very dangerous, the internet is a place where people can create what they want people to see and think about them. Sometimes I love the internet, and sometimes I hate it. Is my relationship with technology healthy. I would say yes and no. I believe that once you get accustomed to being on social media everyday, it's hard to take a break or even taking a break from your phone. Some may call it FOMO, fear of missing out. It's like when I need a break from school or work, I tend to use my phone and social media to relax. There can be other means of relaxation, such as reading or taking a walk. I feel very attached to my phone, its my source of entertainment. I use my phone to contact and connect with friends and family. I used social media to also stay connected with friends and family that I

You should rethink your online privacy. Everything we think may be secure, but what about your privacy do you not know. These days corporations, websites, and social media have so much access to the things we consider PRIVATE. Juan Enriquez and Catherine Crump both discuss privacy in TED Talks. Juan expresses how privacy can be much like a permanent tattoo and Catherine's informative video exposes the dangerous details by which law enforcement by use to track you. What if all the social media you use, LinkedIn, Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc were all electronic tattoos. They provide information about you, just as a tattoo would. It's more than electronic tattoos, it is also in facial recognition.  You can track people with pictures, and find everything about them. Juan speaks about a company called Face.com they have about 18 billion faces online. They were sold to Facebook on June 18, 2012. Companies place cameras and they take pictures and tie them to social media. They use t
