 Something that I have always thought about when it comes to social media is what are the next steps and what is going to be the new improvement that changes social media?  I have felt for a while that every social media app is the same and although they have different features they still all follow the same format.  Recently my group and I did our presentation on tiktok which has been the fastest growing social media but in my opinion it is not a new concept that just made the app extremely easy to use and understand.  I am wanting for an app to really revolutionize social media and completely change the field.  One way that I think a social media company could change the way social media is done would be by doing activities in real life that you have to record and post to social media.  I think that this would make social media so much more interactive and engaging.  I am wondering if anyone in the comments has an idea that could do this and change the way that companies are making social media apps.

    Great Post!! Your reflection on the future of social media resonates deeply with me, as I've often wondered similar questions myself. It's true that many social media platforms seem to follow a familiar pattern, with small updates rather than groundbreaking innovations. Your insights on TikTok's success and its evolution reflect a feeling shared by many, and your suggestion about integrating real-life activities into social media platforms is intriguing. It aligns with my belief that the future of social media lies in fostering genuine connections and experiences beyond the digital realm. Personally, I've found that my favorite interactions online was often as a result of authentic moments shared with others. Your idea has the potential to transform social media into a more interactive space where users can connect over shared experiences in real time. It's inspiring to see individuals like you envisioning the next horizon for social media and challenging companies to innovate in more meaningful ways.

  There is a Spotify playlist called “Homegrown” which I listen to very often because of the amount of artists and their songs that are included in it. I am a big fan of country music and the playlist contains many of the artists that I enjoy, such as Sam Barber, Zach Bryan, Josh Meloy, etc. This playlist has a variety of different types of songs that I would listen to while completing many tasks throughout the day. I like to listen to a pretty wide range of songs and “Homegrown” is a great playlist for that. I know many people here do not listen to country music, but if so, I really recommend this playlist!

      In the movie Eighth grade it follows a young girl by the name of Kayla who is having a hard time not only fitting in with her peers at school, but also has trouble fitting in online as well. Kayla demonstrates a high degree of social anxiety, and it is very evident she just wants people to like her. Kayla, with limited people to talk too and virtually no friends, leans on creating YouTube videos in order to connect with others. Kayla's videos consist of her providing advice to her viewers, such as how to always be confident, and tips on how to socialize to others, things that she has no real experience in. These videos give Kayla a way to connect to not only her peers but other people around the world, and also give her something to feel good about as she's helping others. Kayla also adds to her anxiety by constantly scrolling though social media, and ignoring things such as her father trying to talk to her. Scrolling through social media has Kayla compar...

  I have always taken interest in other people's lifestyles and why and how they and how they have accepted to live a certain way.  Recently I have found out about this  YouTube creator by the name of Tyler Oliveria.  Tyler goes to these places where there are a lot of issues and documents as well as interviews the people that live in these communities.  Tyler gives insights but also figures out why things are the way they are from the people that live in the unfortunate situations.  I have always found this kind of content interesting because I wondered why people live certain ways  but through the content I have realized that it is not always a choice and people get put into bad situations.  The link to his YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/@TylerOliveira where you can watch and find his videos.
