When I am shopping online I am usually shopping for clothes and shoes. Things that I can’t go and purchase at a store or mall. So when I am looking it is based out of need, not necessarily want. If I could I would drive to the store and go get them myself, but IContinue reading “Think of the last time you decided to buy something online. Illustrate the process that led you to that purchase with the purchase funnel or the decision journey. Is there any part of the process that does not fit? If so, how would you conceptualize the process? What is the value of the purchase funnel or the decision journey (focus on the one used when describing your purchase choice)?”

Compare three celebrities with a social media presence that represents at least two different gender identities (man, woman, transgender, cisgender, gender non-conforming, etc.). Collect and analyze data from their social media performances and evaluate the comments from others to these three celebrities online. What differences, if any, among the three celebrities emerged? Why do you think there are (or are not) differences? What conclusions can be drawn about gender performance and social media?
The three celebrities I will look at are LeBron James, Jeffree Star, and Nikkie de Jager. LeBron identifies as a Male, Jeffree Stars identifies as whatever you want to call him. He would say his pronouns are him/her or it. Nikkie de Jager identifies as a transgender woman who was a man. All of themContinue reading “Compare three celebrities with a social media presence that represents at least two different gender identities (man, woman, transgender, cisgender, gender non-conforming, etc.).

Reflect on the art and cultural production in the era of social media. Locate an artistic endeavor reliant on social media. Identify the form of art practice (deviant art, appropriation, new forms/methods, artistic promotion/distribution) and discuss how elements of social media make the art possible.
One art that I see a lot on social media has to do with sports editing and imaging. Kind of like what Darton does for example. There are people who do animations and drawings of athletes, and they are able to do that on their own computer with their time. They can use their socialContinue reading “Reflect on the art and cultural production in the era of social media. Locate an artistic endeavor reliant on social media.

Is collaborative production and crowdsourcing helpful or harmful overall? Should we leave these types of projects to experts? Why or why not?
I would say that it is helpful overall. Crowdsourcing is ost-effective, the company only pays for bugs which are found instead of an hourly or salaried rate which professional testers would receive. There is a vast range of users that provide huge diversity in their experiences, and itallows for testing with all kinds of differentContinue reading “Is collaborative production and crowdsourcing helpful or harmful overall?

Blog Post #1
For as long as I can remember, technology has been in my life in some way shape or form. I remember my Mother having a flip phone forever, and I got my first phone in the fifth grade around 2010. I think one of the most significant changes has been the smartphone and everything beingContinue reading “Blog Post #1”
