  Final Assignment

 

 

My expectations as a student in the beginning of the semester was learning information about media literacy. My expectations was met by Professor Logan presenting important prezi with information and researching information creating blogs. All of my expectations was met as a student. Most of the features in the course was a major part in media literacy each was describe and explain well. The most positive aspect of the course was the group projects because it made the students go beyond. I don't think there was any negative aspect of the course. Overall the course was good I learned about media literacy and now I will take the information into consideration for personal use.

 

 

 

Social Media Consultation

Social Media Consultation November 20, 14 (Fast Food Blog)

Ray DeLaRosa, Jose Garcia, Gabriel Lopez

 

The company our group chose is McDonald’s.  McDonald’s is the second largest fast food chain in America. They sell a variety of food products to consumers around the globe. Social media is important to McDonald’s because it keeps them in the loop. The way technology advanced over the years they had to adapt quick.

            McDonald’s joined twitter in September of 2009. Since 2009 they have tweeted over 27,000 times. McDonald’s social media is used to easily communicate between corporation and consumer. McDonald’s uses social media because it’s one of the easiest and fastest ways to notify its consumer’s the latest news on McDonald’s.  McDonald’s uses its social media to advertise its new products and shows good deals. The people who operate McDonald’s social media is their marketing department. McDonald’s also uses Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and Facebook. They all do the same thing, which is to tell us the latest news about deals and products. On Instagram they post pictures that attract us to go to McDonald’s. Twitter is used to advertise their new products.  Their Facebook also advertises their products.

 

Our Social Media Recommendations:

Offer more coupons and deals

Bring back the old characters of McDonald’s

Allow online orders

They overall use of social media by McDonald’s is very good. They have an excellent team that knows how to attract the consumer eye.

FCC Levies $10 Million Fine Against Carriers for Breach of Consumer Privacy

This article tells us how FCC has fine TerraCome and   YourTel American for 10 million dollars for storing social security numbers ,names, addresses, driver's licenses, and other sensitive information belonging to their customers. This article also tells us how  Verizon wireless has violated the Communications Act because they decided to release a consumer call detail information.

 

 

The analysis of the problem from my point of view is that the FCC has the privilege to fine this companies because they need to provide privacy for all the data and information for their companies otherwise people can hacked computers and steal identity. Therefore, FCC has the right to take action.

                                                      
                                                      Blog Assignment 6: Privacy


The four online services I research were Facebook, Instagram, Gmail ,and Blogger. On Facebook you can control what users you want to view your profile and can also block the users you don't like. On Instagram you have the same settings almost as Facebook except you have better settings with uploading a video or image. On Gmail can also receive notifications, manage your viewers, and invite people. On Blogger the settings are more specific to your blog like post, comments,language,and formatting. I think Instagram has the best settings because a lot of people cant really do nothing with pictures and the worse settings would be Facebook because I seen on a
news article explaining how people that moved over to the new messenger app were being hacked and looked at their messages.

The New York Times

and some blog sites. 

SIDE NOTE

We chose this topic and research because we think its very important to know whats okay to post online. Social Media is used by millions, if not billions billions daily. People are so quick to express their opinion online, show the latest gadgets they got by posting a picture, or post pictures from party they had last night. Social Media has a big influence on todays world, so we think its important to address the question "Whats Okay to Post Online".  People can get easy information about you online, and they can use this information  against you. People have to be safe online.
