Class 11 Presentations

Our group had to do a bit of prep before this class, I was having a bit of a hard time fitting what I wanted to say into my 1 - 1.30 minute slot, trying to condense a brief history of technology so far into that time frame was quite a difficult task.

We were not really aware of the knock on effect this could have on our online and also in some cases online lives. Over time we became more aware of how information stored online could be used in a malicious fashion against us. For some users of social media they would want only their close friends and maybe family to be able to view their posts, however not all users are so private. It got me thinking that many users of social media are actually using it as a tool to promote some kind of brand whether it is themselves, musicians for example or a business. In these cases the users want their posts to reach as many people as possible, in order to promote their brands.
