 Something that I find interesting about social media and the internet universe is apple music's made for you playlists and the "stations for you" that it creates and suggests based on your previous added and played songs. It creates your own personal "station" filled with songs that are by artists you like and music genres you also enjoy. I enjoy listening to music any chance I get and for me this is a very handy option that I like to listen to often. Personally, sometimes I can get bored of my own playlists and love that apple music curates playlists for you based on bands and artists that you have previously liked. This is also a good way to find new songs you may not have already heard and grow your tastes in music. I find it really interesting that apple music has the ability to make your own personal playlists simply based on the data they have collected from you previously.

    Hi, I like how you have used Apple Music's personalized playlists as your example. I too am a huge fan of these playlists, and often times find it being the only thing I listen to. It is a very useful part of Apple Music and helps to broaden my music taste and artists. I am a very picky person when it comes to the music I like, so these playlists are perfect for helping me find new songs to enjoy.

    Hello! I am also an Apple Music user, and one of the things I love most on the app is the suggested music they believe will best fit you and your music genre in the “Stations For You” tab. I also like that the app has a “Browse” section which allows you to see new songs, trending songs, as well as popular playlists created by Apple. This gives people the opportunity to expand their music taste and explore new songs and genres they never would have listened to if Apply had not suggested it. Overall great post.

CS371 Blog Icebreaker (TikTok) - By Sarah Humphreys Hello! My name is Sarah Humphreys, and I am a third year Communication Studies student, with a minor in Education and North American Studies. I utilize various social media platforms daily, and my favourite platforms would include, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, and TikTok. I love these platforms as I can explore an abundance of interests, including fashion trends, healthy lifestyle accounts, and workout routines. The platform I favour the most is TikTok as you can quickly absorb convenient content when time is limited. TikTok produces short and snappy videos, and I find my algorithm to be very accurate in showcasing my interests. A particular TikTok account that I find compelling is @movementwithjulie ( https://www.tiktok.com/@movementwithjulie?lang=en ), this account focuses on showcasing workout routines that target different muscles, and each video is conveniently labelled so you can find the desired workout you are looking for in...

In class, we talked about Baym’s four perspectives on the causal relationship between technology and society, which technological determinism is evident in The Guardian's article discussing Facebook’s Awareness of Instagram’s Harmful Effects on Teenage Girls . Technological determinism is when technology plays a principal role in society’s transformation, ultimately having an effect on our everyday lives. Although Instagram was originally intended to share photos and videos with one’s friends and family, it has provided new opportunities for social media influencers and celebrities to post heavily filtered content of themselves and their lives to showcase a glamourized lifestyle. What was once a fun and carefree platform has now become a competition for others to gain popularity based on their looks and lifestyle, breeding toxicity within the platform. With the constant comparison, young individuals, especially teenage girls feel pressured to achieve this ‘perfect’ life, which affe...

  Hi everyone, my name is Kimberly Browne, and I'm a 3rd-year communications student! I love music and think Spotify stands out from every other music platform. I make many playlists and can find different songs with some of the features that Spotify has. Discovery weekly is a Spotify-generated playlist that releases 30 songs every week based on your music taste. Another feature called "go to radio" plays similar songs to the one you're currently playing, and when I'm making my playlists, the "enhanced" feature adds similar ones to your playlist. I find it funny that there's a constant argument between people choosing the two major streaming platforms, Apple Music, versus Spotify. However, because of these features, being able to see friends' listening activity and the app's clean layout, I switched from Apple Music to Spotify. If you like making playlists and finding new music/genres, consider making Spotify your new music platform!
