The Upbringing of Youtube 






      Youtube was born in 2005, by Jared Karim, Steve Chen, and Chad Hurley.  The name Youtube was created for a very specific purpose. "You" represents that all content created on the site is user-generated and "Tube" is a term for television.  Youtube is a television created only by users. Youtube is the largest and most popular video distribution media platform there is on the Internet. It is not only where you can watch innocent videos, but people are given the opportunity to create and display their own original content on the site as well. Youtube has developed tremendously from being an average video content platform to becoming a billion-dollar company. Youtube was inspired by the 2005 Super Bowl malfunction with Janet Jackson, and the devasting tsunami that hit the Indian Ocean. They designed Youtube as a way for people to get their news about the world through the use of video.

     Youtube generated their big break in September of 2005 when they acquired a Nike advertisement on their site which led them to obtain 1 million views. This advertisement went viral all over the internet, giving Youtube that exposure it needed to put themselves right in front of consumers. Since 2005, Youtube has only gotten bigger and bigger. Hundreds of videos are uploaded to Youtube almost every minute. Youtube was eventually bought by Google, for 1.65 billion dollars. Today, Youtube is one of the biggest social media platforms on the Internet.

    The biggest impact that Youtube created for our society was it allowed for people to post videos about topics they love. People were able to be themselves and make videos based upon their own interests. It allowed people the opportunity to meet and connect with people who have the same similar interests. It created a cohesive family over the internet. It brought people together through the distribution of mainstream news, social media news, and just basic information that is going on within our world today. Youtube allows people to express their thoughts and opinions in a safe online environment, where no one can judge you if they disagree with you. People feel comfortable enough to talk about any issues they like, that are present within our everyday lives.

Positives & Negatives of Technology  Technology is one of the greatest inventions this world has ever seen. Technology has allowed our society to thrive in all different subjects. It has allowed us to learn new ideas and opinions in a split second. We are able to keep up with what is going on in the world around us at all times. Although technology has connected us all together, it has also drifted us apart as well. Technology is permanent, it never forgets your mistakes. Technology allows people to destroy the lives of others with a click of a button. Technology can be both very helpful, but it also can be very hurtful to society. Throughout these two videos, I learned a lot about technology as a whole. Technology was developed to improve mankind. It was made to provide society with a simpler path to commerce and communication. In many ways, it did just that.

Breaking Twitter News

Breaking Twitter News On February 3rd, 2019, a massive security incident occurred on Twitter where people's phone numbers became matched to their username, leading people's personal information to be exposed all over Twitter.  A large network of fake accounts hacked into Twitter's API system and matched usernames to phone numbers. This process is known as scraping, in that fake accounts focus on collecting huge numbers of people's personal information and share it all over social media networks. Scraping is highly against Twitter's terms of service. It is completely illegal to gather and access information that way. The fake accounts were linked to several different countries, such as Malaysia, Iran, and Israel. Twitter released a statement tweet on their site that day explaining how they have corrected the issue, and they are going to embark on an extensive investigation to make sure this event doesn't occur again.     These types of scandal...

Diffusions of Innovations

The Innovation of Snapchat    Snapchat is a mobile app that allows people to send pictures and videos to each for only a short period of time. It was created and displayed to the public in 2011.  The co-founder of Snapchat, Evan Siegel, created this app as a way to encourage a natural flow of interaction through the use of images. It allows you to have a private person-to-person conversation through the use of timed images. They're all different types of filters you can put on your images in order to make your conversations fun and interesting!    I think the reason, why the idea of Snapchat has caught on and spread quickly throughout the world, is because it gives you the ability to express yourself through a unique conversation. All the different filters within Snapchat allow people to be their real and funny self by not having to take conversations so seriously. The use of the different components on Snapchat caused the app to spreadly widely ov...
