Online and Social Media Footprint

Image
My online footprint is not that big, although I do have many different social media accounts. I currently have a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, Snapchat, and a LinkedIn account. I have all of my social media accounts on private so that only friends can really see the main things that I post. I usually only post on my accounts when something significant happens in my life, like graduation, or I got a great internship or something. A visitor going to one of my pages could find out where I attend school, my birthday, my current and past jobs, and my email addresses. I have given my phone number to Facebook and Instagram for recovery purposes only, so if I forget my password and get locked out of my account, they can send me a text with a code I can type to rest my password and regain access to my account. I also share my email with these companies as well for the same reasons, and even most of these sites require at least having an email to sign up for whatever product they offer.

Whistleblowers

Image
Whistleblowers are people that expose secrets or illegal activities of an organization or government office. Whistleblowers can be considered as spies within an organization because they are hired by another organization to spy on another organization, they think maybe doing illegal activity. Whistleblowing within a company is usually seen as a good thing, and companies typically encourage their employees to come forward to them with anything that they notice that is not how it is supposed to be, such as the illegal or unethical activity of coworkers and supervisors. Whistleblowing within an organization can save the organization a lot of money on legal fees if the situation is something that puts the organization in the wrong against the whistleblower. Most whistleblowers have intentions of improving the company that they are acting against. Whistleblowers have a negative stigma that they only do what they do because they are mad and are not getting something they want from their comp

Stable Change and Twitter

Image
  People use twitter to post and talk about a lot of different things. They usually rant about their favorite television show, celebrities, politics, and other popular things going on in mainstream media. With the first amendment, people can post whatever they want and not have to worry about the government interfering and trying to shut down and take things off. With people being able to vent like this freely on twitter, they can form movements and create awareness for important issues like the black lives matter movement that is currently going on in our country.  Even though the government cannot interfere with what is posted on twitter, the company can make itself. Someone can report a post if they feel it endangers someone or is targeting a specific person or group of people, and then twitter can have the post removed. The government can view tweets being that they are public, and they can use them to monitor gang, drug, or terrorist activity and take any action that they may need

Diffusions of Innovations

Image
With the iPhone becoming the first-ever phone with a built-in internet browser and mp3 player, many people were interested quick and wanted to buy one. Many people became early adopters of the iPhone because of it being a 3 for 1 kind of device being that it had a browser like a computer, mp3 player, and makes phone calls. The overall convenience and the fact the original iPhone was so new and innovative is why there were so many early adopters. There have been a lot of late adopters because of people wanting to not be so dependant on iPhones being that now the current iPhone does so much for the average person that has it. Iphones are now a massive part of every person's life, and they go with us literally everywhere we go. Late adopters now realize that they have to adapt to a changing world that is slowly requiring and expecting the average person to be an iPhone owner, so this is actually kind of forcing people to be late adopters of the iPhone. Some people are still not adopte

Evolution of the Apple Iphone, is it good or bad. EOTO key post

Image
The Apple iPhone is one of the most popular electronic devices that we currently have on the market. From its release in 2007, customers just cannot get enough of the phone. The first generation of the iPhone was the first cell phone that had a web browser and an mp3 player built-in on it. Since the first iPhone, there have been many upgrades and added features, including Siri(virtual assistant), facetime, high-quality cameras, and thousands of different apps to choose from.  People that have phones or any kind of smartphone are usually on it non stop. The iPhone has changed the way our world operates in many ways. Having a phone that is able to do almost anything also makes people a lot lazier. With an iPhone, you can turn your lights off and on, open and close your garage, feed your dog, and many other things that usually require physical activity. iPhones have even been in questioned about whether they are sharing information with the government about consumers or not.

Antiwar Voices

In the news, you rarely hear anything about anti-war movements which is very strange, being that there are a lot of them going on. Could the government possibly be having a lot of these websites covered up and made unsearchable? I think it is very possible that the reason that we do not hear anything about anti-war voices is that the government doesn't want the countries citizens to hear the messages of the anti-war voices to sway them. The government could be silencing news stations in a way that they don't feel comfortable reporting on antiwar voices. A couple of anti-war sites that are not popular and that were hard to find are below. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/web-categories/realism-restraint/ antiwar.com

Are citizens allowed to use the first amendment to its full extent?

With the recent Black Lives Matter movement there have been many different occasions where people have not been able to use their first amendment right, or at least not every part of it. With there being six clauses in the First amendment, sometimes people haven't been allowed to use all of the clauses. Judges have prevented lawyers from wearing black lives matter apparel and accessories in court which is a violation of the speech clause. Local law enforcement also has been gearing up in combat gear which comes off as very aggressive to citizens. In some instances, law enforcement has been aggressive with peaceful protestors, which is abusing 2 clauses, the assembly clause and freedom of speech. Do the government and police officials realize they are not allowing citizens to use there first amendment right? https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/1512/black-lives-matter
