CS371 Blog Post 1 - Francis Mainella: Apple Music





Hello everyone, my name is Francis Mainella and I am a third-year Communication Studies student. Something I find quite interesting is the platform, Apple Music. I find this interesting because the platform allows one to search and listen to any song as well as to create playlists that can include your favorite songs. I love how this app allows one to name playlists, add personalized pictures to playlists and even title your playlists. These features have really helped me and my family when using apple music. At first, it was difficult for my family to use the app because we had trouble identifying which playlist belonged to who. However, by using Apple Music’s features, we were able to customize the playlists and organize them in a way that would not cause confusion. Overall, apple music is a great platform and if all the features are used correctly, one can use the app in a flawless and effective manner. Have you had any trouble using Apple Music? If so what was it?

    Hey Francis!

    Love your post. I love to use Apple Music myself too. I sometimes get into arguments with my friends because they prefer Spotify over Apple Music and sometimes we cant share music with each other because of it. However, I think that Apple Music is really cool because we still get our personalized playlists made for us and we can customize the playlists we make as well. I personally like a bunch of different music genres so I need to make many playlists for it. I love to customize my playlist photos too!

    Hey Francis! I'm also a very big fan of Apple Music and prefer it over Spotify. I enjoy how easily it is to share music with my friends. There is also a feature where it tells you what music your friends are listening to which is a neat feature since that is often how I find new music. Apple music will also curate playlists for you based on the music you listen to which is pretty cool.

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...

  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!
