CS371 Ice Breaker Post

 Hi everyone,

My name is Max and I am a third year communication studies student with a minor in Criminology. I enjoy playing hockey with friends, baseball and golfing but only when the whether is nice! I enjoy listening to country music on Spotify including artist such as Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs. One of my favourite country playlist on Spotify is called "Country" and consist of the most popular country songs, artists and album currently. Besides music, I tend to follow Instagram accounts surrounding the world of sports like TSN and Sportsnet. I love these accounts as they provide daily updates within the world of sports which keeps me updated. It acts as a one stop shop for all sports which is why I love it.

I have attached the link to the Spotify playlist along with the Instagram accounts below:

TSN: https://www.instagram.com/tsn_official/

Sportsnet: https://www.instagram.com/sportsnet/

    Hey Max,
    Great blog post! From what I read, we have a lot in common. Always love seeing other fellow hockey, golf, and country fans. Although Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs are up there as some of the best country artists, I gotta go with Florida Georgia Line as my favorite. I especially love to see how you rely upon TSN and Sportsnet as two of your sports news sources. I follow them on Instagram and have to say they help me stay updated with what's going on in the sporting world.
    Again, great post!

    Hey Max,
    Just like Liam in the comments, we share a lot of the same interests such as hockey and listening to country music. Morgan Wallen is my favourite country artist as well, I really want to go to his concert if it wasn't a million dollars a ticket. As for your social media following, I too follow sports accounts such as TSN and Sportsnet. They post amazing plays, big turning points in games and other interesting sports videos. Being a Blue Jays fan, I follow them on Instagram and love to scroll through their posts after the game to see the highlights. They provide different angles of each play and I get a closer look at the bench reactions to each play, which I love. This allows for more of a connection for the viewer to the team.

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...

CS371 Blog Post #3 - Tiffany Chan

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...

Cs 371 - blog post #1 - Kim Browne

  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!
