Blog about Twitter

Twitter and Blackboard are very different when it comes to their purpose and the demographic it is targeting. Twitter is a social media platform where you can tweet something and it can be seen by millions of people. Twitter's main purpose is communicating. Blackboard is mainly used by colleges and it is an educational tool. 

Blackboard's main purpose is so that professors can post notes regarding class and students use it for submitting assignments given to them by their professors. Since Blackboard is an educational tool, no plagiarism or any form of cheating is not allowed. Blackboard also has a discussion board which is a bit outdated in way it is structured. Blackboard is also a secure website.

Twitter follows a format in which a person can only type up to 280 characters per tweet. Twitter is always up to date and you can easily figure out what's going on in the world with a few clicks. The way news is distributed makes Twitter an exceptional communication device when it comes to social media.

When it comes to a class, in person is always the best method of communication as it allows communication with emotion. It makes it easier for everyone to express their ideas freely. When conducting a class in person comes first followed by Blackboard and lastly Twitter. Blackboard places above Twitter because of the safety of the website whereas Twitter is more or less used for communication.

Privacy

One of the major issues that occur with privacy is the collection of data or as companies call it big data. Companies are tracking every single one of our moves and often times we are helpless. They often times are lobbyists for politicians who they use to push their agenda. If there is a hack or some sort of loss of information millions of lives of people will be exposed to unwarranted threats.  Another issue that comes with privacy and new media is the fact that anything you post on social media is not private. Once you post something on the internet it stays there forever. Especially kids in college can make questionable choices in their early 20s that can affect the rest of their lives. Companies can find out what type of person you are and a past mistake can be troublesome for your future job application processes.
