Wiki So Far

So far on Wiki, I made a generous contribution to the New Media in Travelling. I have never done anything like this before, so it was really a learning experience for me. I have added four paragraphs and a picture under the category of Trip Planning, entitled Smart Destination. I decided to add this because I used it more than once on my vacations and I really found it helpful, so I wanted to share it with everyone.  I thought to myself this is what Wikis are about sharing useful information so everyone can utilize it for their personal needs so share it with someone.  I have edited it twice because of grammatical errors. I have also made a few mistakes which I had help from the professor and the help in editing section to recover. My only problem is that I am having a little difficulty with the references section, I cannot seem to get my reference in the correct position. If anyone is reading this have a solution or advise it will be really appreciated. I also recently added some content to the Amazon Fresh, because I used the service before.

Social networking sites

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and WhatsApp, allow its user to collect via real-time with each other no matter the time, place or occasion you have happening.  These sites allow us to make new friends, share too much of our lives that shouldn’t be shared, follow and support important causes, get live updates such as traffic or MTA.  Twitter, I found a little more changeling but only when I have, much to say and I am limited to a specific number of characters.  But other than that, it is very engaging, and it allows you to have a discussion/debate on anything that catches your attention.  WhatsApp is one of my favorites, I use it daily to communicate with anyone of my contacts.  One feature that I really like and that drew my attention to it that I could call people from my home country and communicate in real time.  Facebook is another great site for making ‘friends’ from all over the world.  It allowed me to reconnect with my old High School friends an...

Social media, a negative repercussion of being social

Social media has become like a six sense for everyone, and I mean everyone, from my 3-year-old nephew right down to my 60-year-old uncle. The objective of my paper is to examine the negative repercussion of social media throughout different platforms upon being social. My stand is that it is not necessary that an individual is anti-social from the use of social media but how does it affect them when it comes to interpersonal communication when you must log off if any of us ever do. The areas to be examined will be but not limited to family, education, workplace and psychological. With the use of firsthand experiences and published articles, I will attempt to establish a concrete connection between social media and its negative effects of being social.

Next New

The United States Department of Transportation reported that in 2016 there were over three thousand fatalities due to distracted drivers in the entire country. Technology has become so addictive that we cannot put our phones away while driving. We do not acknowledge the problem until a tender age victim is involved or the accident resulted in the death of someone close. Instead of waiting for something so brutal and fatal to happen we should approach the problem head-on. An innovative technology to help prevent this would be an app or factory installed program on our phones that stop text messages to and from the phone. The program/app will be able to calculate speed and will disable texting until the vehicle has come to a stop. There are some kinks to workout but a technology such as this can help reduce texting and driving accidents.  https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/usdot-releases-2016-fatal-traffic-crash-data
