Week 1: Topic 1 (About me)

Topic 1:

My name is Colton Cosner, and I have just left my two years at LBCC. My major is business and I need these last credits to complete my AAOT. I am at LBCC for baseball and have really enjoyed my time here. My career goal is to become a business owner or graphic designer one day.

I am most interested in learning about the impacts that social media has on society. With how fast it is growing and how little we fully know about how it has effected us, I am excited to learn more about it.

I am most passionate about baseball as my outside hobby. I played for two years at Linn Benton and am currently playing in Bend for the summer. Baseball has given me many opportunities to do great things and meet great people. It has opened doors for me, and I am excited to see where it takes me next.

These are two top bands that are widely known for their music and some of them isn’t even their original stuff. I love these bands and to see that kind of ruins the originality of their music. About a minute farter into the video it talks about the “happy birthday” theme song being a copyright issue, where if you play that in public you technically own royalties. I myself would owe tons of royalties. The next surprising information I learned that personally effected me, is the shut down of Napster. I used to use Napster back before i

Week 1 Topic 2

Topic 2: My three main source of information are Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. These are my go-to resources because they are so quick and easy to access. I am also already on those websites to connect with friends. While I am on there to do that there happens to be access to many different areas that I can pick up on the latest news. People tweeting about it or posting about something that happens in the world. I log onto twitter and it pops up the top streaming topics through hashtags. It could say something like #chicagoshooting and all I have to do it click it and it takes me to tons of different areas to read about what happened. If I am watching the news or something to her this information, I have to go through commercials and wait for the juicy news details. When answering the question "How reliable is the information?" it becomes difficult. I do not believe everything I see on social media because a lot of information put on there is very bias towards what is h
