"Welcome to my blog"

Hello everyone!!👋

My name is Francesca. I am from Peru and have been living in Port Richey, Pasco County for 5 years. My major is Information Science with a concentration in Security. Also, I am completing a certificate in Business Analytics.

As part of my hobbies I love to working with technology and some of these activities are using different types of programming languages such as Visual Basic, Java, PHP, etc. Another hobby is playing with my pets, I have a teenage dog that is a German shepherd/Pointer mix and an adult cat. Also, I loved traveling with my family, we usually always look for places with walked spaces so we can walk my pets.

I have no professional experience but I plan to do an internship related to my professional career. 

About the social medias, I only use Facebook and this is to share experience and important information with my friends. Also, to be in communication with my family I use WhatsApp.

I remember that in one of my past programming courses I used a kind of blog in order to post the code I created and the results I got. However, I have nor posted anything on this blog since I finished the course.

My closest experience using blogs is when I need to find additional information for my homework at the university. In addition, from bloggers related to places to travel or programmers.

What I like about blogs is that they are easy to read. Likewise, they allow us to enter information, images, audios, etc; they make it more interesting and allow us to guide the reader through the blog.

    Hi Francesca, Welcome to Social Media and Information. I'm really happy to have you in class. We're going to talk some about Whatsapp. Lots of Americans never use it so you'll have a lot to share with the class.

Metrics and Analytics: LJ2

    After reading the article "We are data" by John Cheney-Lippold, I have understood that technology has become an important part of our interaction in personal and professional life. As the author mentions, our activity on the web provides us with an online identity that does not necessarily match our identity in real life (p.4). This interaction allows the algorithms created by different companies such as Google to create a database to offer us through its interpretation what we need, such as news that may interest us, advertising, etc. Since as the author mentions, this database is created by all the information that we enter on the web and/or on the pages we visit (p. 6). Hence the author's statement, with which I agree, that we are “data.” Since this database is created thanks to all the information that we provide voluntarily and anonymously.      In fact, and as the author mentions, this database with which the algorithms have built our online ...

"My Interaction with Social Media: LJ1"

   In mi life social media allow me to interact with my family who are in other parts of the world as well as friends, to share music, fashion, etc. On social media I can find news or inform myself about events that are happening. Certainly, social media have gained prominence due to the Covid-19 pandemic. When I started on Internet, I started with "Hotmail" because it included a messaging service. Also, I used different chat rooms which allowed me to talk and play with people on the world. Due to the boom of Facebook, I created my profile as it offered an inclusive and more interactive platform. When I first started interacting on the Internet, it was certainly less secure than it is now, so you could easily end up with your online service site accounts hacked. However, it was even more fun to browse the web to find the wonderful easy ways to unlock our accounts through programs or free codes that were put there by programmers to help those in need. No doubt, when I fir...

Social Media, Metrics, and Analytics: LJ3

During the last two weeks in this class, I read about Microblogging and how social media can be used for research. Therefore, part of the readings are based on metrics and analysis with the use of Social Media. These readings make me understand the article "We are data" by John Cheney-Lippold , where he tells us that technology has become an important part of our personal and professional lives. Since we constantly share information with the Internet and it is being collected to be shared with third parties. A microblogging according to Nations, D. (2019) , mentions that it is a mixture of blogs and instant messaging, achieving a faster form of communication that allows sharing short messages online with other users. Among the social medias that are considered Microblogging are Twitter, Tumbler, and Instagram. This type of content has become extremely popular because it allows sharing not only text but also images, videos, audio, and hyperlinks. According to the readi...
