Modeling Reality with Virtual Worlds

Image
What are different ways these virtual worlds can be used? What are the pros and cons? Be specific. How do virtual worlds foster creativity? What do you think the future of virtual worlds will look like? From a different point of view companies are utilizing virtual technology, many people are go on and experiment sites that have virtual characters, and to interact with other virtual users. The purpose of virtual sites are "realistically" interacting with these other virtual sites and people to become more like virtual friends. Experiencing the reality through virtual world, for instance you can be whomever you want to be or whatever you want to do. Another example would a woman trying to live as a man that is possible if you have your virtual world program as you wanting be a man why not, i bet i would be a great example. Virtual worlds can be used for a second life & social interaction. One can portray any kind of world you want it to be and live in it. It helps people

How does a Twitter discussion compare to a BlackBoard Discussion?

Twitter might sound one of the difficult social media platforms but it is not to be honest when i first started using twitter it was complicated. Since a tweet is limited to 140 characters, it only allows for a discussion relevant to the topic to occur. The character limit can also be a frustration when trying to have a discussion because not all relevant information one wants to post can be done under one tweet. Instead, they would have to tweet multiple times if they go over the 140 character limit. Twitter only allows for simple discussions which in my opinion is a major flaw. BlackBoard discussion is similar to a Twitter discussion, without the character limit. BlackBoard provides more technological features to help groups with collaborations. It also encourages users to research and provide reliable sources when having a discussion. A BlackBoard discussion will result in users providing the most refined answers. I believe BlackBoard will encourage the most educated answers.

Nowadays, social media is one of the main channels used by companies to reach their target audiences. In my opinion that teens are moving away from Facebook and into other social networks like Instagram and Snapchat. So if you're primarily targeting teens, you may want to focus your resources on building a stronger presence on those networks. You will see the picture below which social media applies best to you criteria and you will be the to decide which one to stay loyal to after these comparisons. FACEBOOK, INSTAGRAM, INSTAGRAM, LINKEDIN, PINTEREST AND SNAPCHAT Research shows that Facebook is the king for having the most users for each month. Instagram follows with 400 million users each month. Twitter used to be one of the most popular social media site but at the moment twitter is the third most used site with 310 million monthly users.

Blog Social Networking

Social networking the use of dedicated websites and applications to interact with other users, or to find people with similar interests to oneself. When Facebook first came out everybody was talking about it, i was a freshman in high school back in 2008, it did came out before 2008 but i was socially out going hanging out with my friends and never paid attention to social media. After i discovered Facebook it made me realize how many people are here and how many friends i could've made from here, so i stopped going out more and i went spending hours on Facebook than i spend with my friends. Same goes for twitter and many other social media sites. The Internet is a vast source of information that is accessible from almost anywhere on the planet. It is a seemingly never-ending resource that can be used for good especially when used for educational purposes. As we all know the Internet comes with its fair share of dangers, and a knowledge of how to use the Internet safely is a necessi
