@divija_bhatt HI Divija, some of TikTok's immediate fame can be attributed to their inclusivity for those who use the app, and with the recent trials, the owner has shown he backs his workers in many ways, and it seems like a great place to work!
@allison_serido@EdelmanPR Hi Allison; I am going into marketing, which coincides with PR on many occasions. It is great you found a company that aligns with your values and would be a good fit for you in the future!
Throughout my research looking for internships and future job opportunities, I came across the @Sagefrog marketing group. Their values align with where I see myself in the future, and I would love to work for a company like theirs. #LIDCSpring2023 https://t.co/9ZHiX8EO5x
@allison_serido@GretaThunberg Hi Allison, Greta Thunberg was a great choice to highlight a leader using social media effectively. She is still very young, and she can probably use that to her advantage as she has a deeper understanding of social media to really spread her message!
@Kevin50925798 Hi Kevin, I really like your choice of using this tweet because Tan is not directly talking about being a leader but showing his followers how to lead effectively. This was a really good example!
@alice_abrehart Hi Alice, Obama definitely uses the platform he was given by being a President for good as he shines a light on important topics and is transparent about them. This is a good example of how a leader can use social media to spark change!
others will follow. Taking this kind of stance on a controversial subject, which can be said about anything in politics, can show he wants to be open and honest with his followers. This statement is not talking about leadership but about being a leader. (pt. 3)
David French makes posts about his opinions on politics; as a New York Times columnist and a veteran, he has a lot of experience in discussing these topics. Yet, while he posts about all different kinds of topics in politics, (pt. 1) #LIDCSpring2023
A proposed test for diagnosing when your politics is threatening to become your religion:
If you learn someone shares your faith but not your politics, and you immediately distrust their faith, then your politics might be displacing your religion.
this tweet is pinned at the top of his page. Having this tweet pinned to the top is a reminder to his followers how not to get lost in politics and stay true to themselves and their beliefs. This is a good example of a leader articulating their moral values, which many (pt. 2)
My biggest takeaway from this course is how easily new technology can change everything that we know; I always knew that innovation led to change, but before this course, I did not realize how much disruptive technology can truly change things. #DigiTechF22B
@DCIMDania Hi Dania! I agree that in the near future, we will no longer have any gas-powered cars. Some states are already forming laws that will ban the sale of gas-powered cars in the coming years!
@LilyVollenbroek Hi Lily! I agree that wearable technology has really taken off and will continue to expand. I have even seen technology that goes on shoes to more accurately track steps so there is definitely a lot of room to work with!
@ALEXANDRAGATTI3 Hi Alexandra! I totally agree with you that short videos will be the dominant form of media. I am an intern at a social media marketing firm, and we really focus on short clips for most of our campaigns!
With only so many years left of our gasoline and states like California already banning the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles after 2035, there is no denying that in the future electric cars will be the only option and will take over the roads. #DigiTechF22B
@RobertBDCIM Hi Robert, I considered looking into the same topic for my project. It definitely has a significant effect on several parts of our society. It will be interesting to research; good luck!
@TennieZamira Hi Zamira, as a reader myself, I absolutely love my kindle paperwhite. It'll be interesting to see how they are affecting the industry. Good luck with your project!
@Shannon63439894 Hi Shannon, artificial intelligence is definitely growing fast and more popular in many different kinds of industries. It will be very interesting to research AI for your project!
Cable companies such as FiOS and Direct TV will be hurt by the number of people switching to streaming. I believe many of these companies will be put out of business one day, eventually leaving us with virtually no choice but to subscribe to streaming services to consume media.
I plan to research video streaming services for my EDTP. I am interested in doing this because streaming has taken over in the recent past. Many are making the switch from cable, and I believe this will affect our society and possibly our economy in the long run. #DigiTechF22B
While it may seem to be the cheaper option, most people end up with subscriptions to multiple sites to have the ability to watch everything they want to and therefore end up paying a similar amount of money.
