Assignment 3

 

    The platforms that I noticed were most used over this 4-day social survey were as follows: Instagram, Snapchat, Youtube, tik tok, and messages app (text/ sms) I know for a fact my Instagram and youtube usage has actually been somewhat productive. This is due to the fact that when I'm on youtube I'm often looking at virtual tours for apartments, aside from getting distracted by the youtube shorts. Instagram is something that I'm supposed to be using alongside LinkedIn so that I can begin organic lead generation for my business however I haven't had the time to truly begin doing this. When I get on Instagram or TikTok it seems to be a neverending cycle of scrolling. My favorite platform currently to use is youtube, just because of how versatile it is. Whether I want to watch one of the creator's videos or need help working on my car, the possibilities are limitless. 

    More often than not I am using these platforms when I am laying in bed or just roaming around the house. Because of what I do work I'm using my phone consistently but never on any social platforms. I think this semester has been the most challenging for me because I am working full time plus running a business. The use of these tools in excess just perpetuates my inability to focus and get work done on time, and why I stay up late every night. I am not one who is big on posting but I do a lot of searches as well as scrolling through videos. The only time I'm talking to somebody specifically is on the messages app, or in the rare case that I am using Snapchat. Snapchat I hardly list as the most used application, my only reason for using it is to keep in touch with some people from high school.
