EOTO Com Tech Timeline: Blog 7 (Do one from a presentation you liked)

 Instagram, everyone loves it.


Instagram is a photo-sharing app that was created in 2010. The co-founders of Instagram sold it to Facebook (FB) in 2012 for one billion dollars It allows individuals the ability to upload photos and videos with tools they can use to edit, add captions, and hashtags. Instagram is a great app because it gives us the ability to share media with friends and family, interact with others by liking and sharing photos. It also gives us the resources to view trending content and meet new people. People like Instagram because it is made to stay connected to others and create new connections. For younger kids, Instagram is one of the resources to stay on trend and become popular in society. People from all walks of life use Instagram and the ability to personalize it within your preference. There are many pros and cons to Instagram. The pros are Instagram’s ability to be neat and organized within your profile. It also is very great with keeping up with upgrades and the latest technology, so it never becomes outdated. The cons are the addiction that people have to the app and the validation to be popular. This causes many problems with people creating a fake persona and not being real. I love Instagram because it gives me the ability to share my life with others along with having a neat and organized profile. I am allowed to have bright colors, personalized profile pictures, profile descriptions, and more! It’s also a very simple platform. There’s not as much post clutter as Facebook and the ability to browse through hashtags and post is easily accessible. Overall, I believe Instagram is the #1 social media app because of its clear view, communication, and simplicity. I also think that with time you can grow a following that can make you an influencer which comes with many perks. I also enjoy that you can use other editing apps to create boomerangs, collages, and presets (filters) that can make your feed look more appealing. Here is a picture of my Instagram. I just googled my username and it popped up. I do have a private account.

Diffusion of Innovation: Blog 8

Electronic Pay, and the Diffusion of Innovations Theory. Taken by Dr. Dean Smith The Diffusion of Innovations is used to define how change has been made by technological advancements and how it has influenced our society for the past, present, and future. Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and other forms of NFC payment have been extremely crucial in how conveniently we use our debit and credit cards to pay for everyday items. This, among many other factors, is why innovators have worked tirelessly to continue to advance our contactless pay method. Also, with technology in other areas continuing to advance, many investors, businesses, and other entities have been more than willing to support the continuing advancements of contactless pay using Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and other forms of NFC pay. Card reader companies, such as Verifone, implemented the ability to accept NFC payment on their readers. Because of this very limited and new field of how we pay, Verifone became the early adopters of this...

The Progessive Era: Blog 4

Have we changed? When it comes to the 21st century, we often like to consider ourselves different from history. In many ways we are different, new technology, more rights, but one thing that hasn't changed is shutting down the perspective of those that might disagree with the latest status quo. Progressive Era During the Progressive era, America was going through WWI. This was a time when many people went off to war and never questioned it, or so we think. There actually were voices of citizens who thought the war was the last thing the U.S should be doing. These particular people believed the U.S should have stayed out of other countries problems and focus on the issues they already had. Many of those same people that voiced their opinions were bashed and thrown in jail because they were talking down on the war and the government's decisions.
