twitter !
In this blog I am going to write about social medias! I am going to focus more on Twitter because I tend to use Twitter a lot more. I think that on Twitter it is more focused on instant messaging. Whenever I am on twitter it is more focused on funny messages sending back and forth with friends. When I get a twitter notification I know that is something funny from my roommate trinity or my teammate Nalyssa. We have group messages and send them all throughout the day. I look forward to twitter notifications.
In the article Griffin et. al. defines medium as, “a specific type of media; for example, a book, newspaper, radio, television, telephone, film, website, or email,” (317). Another definition that was given in the article, Griffin et. al. defines media as, “generic term for all human invented technology that extends the range, speed, or channels of communication,” (317). Finally, the last quote in the paper Griffin et. al. states, “instant message are a sign of affection” (317).
The article defined the whole situation so perfectly it was hard to pick just one quote. So, I went with definitions instead of actually quotes. In the first quote it was a definition of medium which is the point of this whole blog! I thought putting both the quotes of media and medium were needed in order to continue this blog, so that the readers know what we are talking about. In the last quote It shows it supports the fact that when I get a twitter notification it makes me happy. When he put it in the article it definitely made me feel better knowing I wasn’t the only one feeling this way.
