Social Media Book

 So, my last ever class blog is going to be me giving my thoughts for the book overall that I have been blogging about since the class started. In my last blog I already talked about the blogging experience for the class in general. But this one is going to focus on my thoughts for the book only.

    Once a week we had to read the next chapter of our class book and pick one topic from that to write a blog about. We could give our thoughts on a certain subject discussed in the book or research more into what was talked about or really anything involved with the next chapter in the book. I think the book itself was really good other than some things. To start the book was published in 2020 so the big and main thing to talk about that time is COVID-19. Every chapter of the book had a section cut out for how the social media platform responded to COVID-19. And this might be a nitpicking thing but I am so tired of hearing about it so that was usually a section I would just glance over when reading that chapter. I think I only ended up writing one blog over something that was covered in that section but other than that I tended to avoid it. But some positives are I really liked the way the book was broken down. I like how they went from one social media platform to another and took a deeper dive into them. The chapters at time seemed repetitive because they all talked about roughly the same thing basically breaking down how it was started, what the target audience it and things of that nature. I liked hearing about the early stages of these platforms so I can see how far they have come.

    To end things, I would say I enjoyed the book more than I disliked it. The only problems I had were little and did not stop me from reading them and writing a blog about it. This book was much easier to pay attention to than some other textbooks I have had to read for school.
