Assignment 3


Time Diary

    When it comes to social media apps I like using TikTok the most. Because TikTok has short videos that are personalized for me I get a lot of funny videos that I want to watch. I tracked my TikTok usage for the week of February 12-18th. I use TikTok exclusively on my iPhone; TikTok does have a web version that can be used on a computer, but it was made for vertical use so the web version is not aesthetically pleasing. 

    From what the chart shows I can see that I use TikTok mainly during the day. Of the almost 15 hours spent during the week 11.5 of them were during the day. Looking back this makes sense because I use the app in the morning and between finishing homework assignments. The timing of my classes seems to influence my usage of TikTok the most. On Mondays, I have classes spread out during the day, so I spend more time scrolling through videos. On Thursday through Saturday I do not have classes, so that can explain the increased use of TikTok during those days. On Sundays, I spend most of the day doing homework and spending time with family so that is why I spend the least time scrolling videos then. 

    I use TikTok to watch videos, but I do not interact with the videos by commenting or reposting. I will like videos and save them so I can watch them later or show them to friends and family. I typically only send friends and family videos while using the app. TikTok does have a messaging feature, but I would much rather text or use Snapchat so I do not message on TikTok.

Hands-On Assignment 2

     When I think of media and social networking I think of websites like LinkedIn, Handshake, and Facebook. When I hear the word networking my brain assumes networking in a business sense, but networking takes place even when you follow someone on Instagram, posts for your friends, and in other casual forms of media. I define it as making connections with individuals either in-person or virtually for social or business reasons. The social networking apps and websites I use are Snapchat, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok. All of these apps have a way of connecting with others and sharing content with people. I use LinkedIn specifically for networking and posting business accomplishments to build my portfolio, while the rest I use for casual and entertainment purposes.     I use all of my social networking apps often throughout the week. I spend the most hours on YouTube for entertainment purposes and learning how to do new things like video editi...

 Hello everyone, This is the first of many blog posts for my Information & Social Media course. To start, I will give a little background of myself and some fun facts to get to know me better. About Me My name is Jackson Baumgartner and I am a sophomore at the University of South Florida. I am originally from a northern suburb of Chicago, but since starting college I along with my family have fully moved to Florida, so I am a new Floridian. I am majoring in Health Science with a concentration in Medical IT. I have a broad idea of what I can do with that degree, but I usually make something up whenever someone asks me what I plan to do in the future.  Things About Me When it comes to interesting things about myself or fun facts I usually blank, so bear with me with what I have picked to share. Something interesting about me is that I get into random phases where I want to learn about something and I somewhat become fixated on learning it for a few weeks to a few months. I h...
