#RHUB290 The group that talked about the impact that Covid had on tourism stood out to me because it was interesting to see the chart of how much tourism lost money compared to other industries. I felt like they used great visuals.

#RHUB290 The group that discussed currency on social media platforms was very interesting to learn about because I was unaware of how dangerous advertising on social media can be for underage users.

@DavisKeller7 This is a great topic to cover because I wonder this all the time. If anything, Lyft often has much better prices and the drivers are nicer, yet everyone talks about Uber. #RHUB290

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

@DavisKeller7 I also think that little text in a powerpoint is very powerful because it forces you to speak from your mind and comes across as much more genuine. #RHUB290

#RWS290 One thing that stood out to me from Jobs's presentation was how little he used words in his slides, but he instead used large photos and then did all the talking without reading off of the screen.

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

#RWS290 One thing I noticed about Jobs's presentation is how he used a problem-solution approach, where he would describe a problem about technology and then present a solution.

@SelbyMicah Hi Micah, it would be interesting to see what specific parts of Asia lost the most tourism, since it is so large. I am very surprised that the gap between Asia and everywhere else is so large though. #RHUB290

@Ecp135 I had no idea that crypto scams are that popular. It would also be very interesting to see if you could find information about NFT scams since so many people are making them. #RHUB290

#RHUB290 This chart, from TRUTH, shows the distribution of smokers based on income brackets. This will help us prove how big tobacco targets low income communities.

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

#RHUB290 This is a figure showing the use of menthol cigarettes among smokers in the US. This is going to help us prove how menthol cigarettes are being targeted towards minorities.

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

#RHUB290 One piece of data that I am using for the group report is from Truth, which states "Research shows that more tobacco retailers exist in areas with larger black, Hispanic and low-income populations."

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

#RHUB290 One thing I learned from "How Businesses Use Information" was data mining, which is when businesses analyze trends among their collections of data.

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

@colinquinn2020 Hi Colin, we are doing a very similar topic! We are doing our project on how big tobacco targets minorities and low income communities. #RHUB290

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

@ClarkJacobson48 Hi Clark, I think the problem statement is so important because if we misjudge the actual problem, we will be writing our report on the completely wrong subject matter #RHUB290

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

A problem in a business related context that I could do my report on is targeting social media users to try to get them to stay on the app as long as possible. #RHUB290

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

A problem in a business related context that I could do my report on is how tobacco companies specifically target low-income minority communities. #RHUB290

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

Business reports build off what we have done throughout the semester, especially like the writing letter project, because they all have a beginning, middle, and end. #RWS290

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

One thing I would like to see discussed during class is why are images used in reports important? Is it for context? I feel like the reports that I saw already did not need photos. #RWS290

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

#RHUB290 Another downside to advertising on social media is that there is a ton of hate speech and harassment that can go on in the comment section of your post.

[Aidan Conway @aconway75]

#RHUB290 some downsides of advertising on social media is that some social media platforms have controversial privacy restrictions rules so some of my customers might have information leaked they wouldn't want to be.
