What did you learn? How did you feel about engaging in this particular medium? How can social media help you reach your goals? You also read a few articles about social media-- and how it's being used around the world. What about these readings was surprising to you? What insights did you gain in reading these articles?

       In today's society, social media is a big part. Newer and better thing keep being created and what was new yesterday is old today. Social media is spreading as fast as a forest fire and seems to have no end. Phones, computers, tv's, and gaming systems continually keep enhancing their quality and reducing their sizes. The internet has also evolved and is a large area where employment/employeers can be found and researched.
      Engaging in this medium was actually fairly easy. Looking for companies/employeers that hired/employed people with the same degree that you are studing for. As the internet has expanded so have the companies looking to hire so there was information everywhere, plus my major has a very wide range of possiblities to explore.
         I never would of thought that facebook could ruin so many relationships, but as I look back it does. We hardly talk to anyone over the phone, or meet up with friends to go out and eat and catch up on things that we haven't been around for. Everything has moved to the internet where as the facebook article explained people become someone that they're not.
        I have learned that not everyone cares what your doing but yet they still want to be friends on facebook. Weather they just like to complain about a status that you posted, or they're just jelous of you and continue to visit your page to find some way to start something. Not everyone is alike and if you don't like what htey are doing ingnore it, or delete them from your friends list and stop complaining about it.

MBTI results

    My MBTI results were very acurate. Its suprising how acurately they are able to relate to you. My MBTI results have me classified as a ESTJ, this stands for Extraversion, Sensing, Thinking, and Judging. ESTJ is one of 16 types that the Myers-Briggs evaluation indicates. An ESTJ type finds their energy from other people and like to deal with facts. This is very true as I like to be around people and find facts more interesting than theories and ideas.
    MBTI has results for everyone, it can tell you how you study and learn best based on the way you answer their survey. It is amazing how they can depict a person's type and have it be very close to the way that person actually is. ESTJs are doers who roll up their sleeves, dig in, and proceed directly to get the job done, which is how i prefer to get thing done.
