Online Presence

-

I have been apart of social media for a long time, even though I have a lot of social media I rarely ever post on any of them. When I first started on social media I posted photos all the time, since then I have rebranded and deleted all of the photos I previously had. None of them were bad but I was young and did not know that a bunch of filters over a photo of my face didn't look good. I think that not really posting can be both good and bad. It is good because I can't risk anything bad being released because I am upset or sad because I do not post normally anyway so social media is not a coping mechanism. Although I end up not using important sites such as Linkedin as much as I should so I am not networking as much as the average person on social media does.

When I googled myself the first thing to pop up was my LinkedIn but unfortunately since I do not post a lot all that was on my LinkedIn is my resume. Following that is an old Pinterest page I used maybe 3 times and my Youtube Channel that has one video that was for a project in High School. Then there is a search for my facebook but I have my setting on facebook to be super private so you are unable to find me just by search. Then following that is my current Instagram, which has a total of 36 posts.
I have my Instagram as public, as I don't post anything that needs to be private, if I do post something normally it is photos that I have taken of food or nature. I feel that its important especially going into the work force, that I am being very transparent with what I put out there.

Are Amazon's Choice Items any good?

Amazon's Choice are items that are labeled as top rated items that are well priced. Although some of these listings have ratings that most likely weren't what the person really thought about them because the customers were given gift cards or free products. This once happened to me, I received string lights from an Amazon's choice, in the box was a card that said if you leave a 5 star review we will send you a gift card for $20 and of course I gave a good review which I would have done anyway.  Although not all of the items end up being good such as the lights were that I received, so the customers are unhappy but they want the gift card so they post positive reviews and then believe that the gift card is repayment for a crappy product. Although this really misleads other customers who are in need of something and when they receive it, its not what they thought it would be from the reviews. It doesn't seem like Amazon is planning on changing this policy or lookin

American Airlines Forces a Women to Change her Shirt

In October of this year a women named Swati Runi Goyal boarded an American Airlines Flight and not long after boarding a crew member told Goyal to get her things and follow him to the front of the plane. Goyal was told by the crew member that she need to either change her shirt or she would get kicked off of the plan. The shirt that she was wearing said "Hail Satan", Goyal is not a Satan Worshipper and the shirt is meant to be an ironic shirt to advocate for separation of church and state and for religious freedom. The crew member of the American Airlines flight told Goyal that "Our crew has found your shirt to be offensive". American Airlines websites states that passengers are required to "dress appropriately" and avoid "offensive clothing", although it does not state what items are offensive, so it leaves it up to the crew to decide. The crew members would not let Goyal keep her shirt displayed, they delayed takeoff and brought a customer se

Google a Monopoly?

48 states in addition to Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico have launched an anti trust probe against Google. This probe is to determine if Google's stance in the search engine market is yet too dominant, and monopolized. In the view of the government, Google controls such a large piece of the internet functionality. They control a large chunk of the advertising market, having holds in the auction, buyer, and seller departments.    Alphabet, Googles parent company, has a market value of more than $820 billion. Last year reported revenue of $137 billion and income of $31 billion. Google controls so many aspects of the internet that it's hard to imagine using the int ernet and not eventually using a Google service. "If advertising costs are higher, advertisers pay more, and ultimately that's  passed on to consumers." (Paxton) A recent investigation shows that roughly ninety percent of all searches are conducted through a google owned service. W
