RE:                   Online Reputation


According to Kaylee’s Facebook page, she is currently a student at Utah State University and works at both Integra Financial and is a teller at America First Credit Union. One can assume she is trustworthy if she has been employed twice to work at financial institutions. She also mentions that she graduated from Fremont High School. According to her Facebook pictures, she clearly likes adventure. She is pictured skydiving and enjoying the ocean.



It was also on her Facebook page I started finding evidence of her love of children. This conclusion was supported when I came upon her personal blog. It shared her adventure teaching children in the Dominican Republic for a semester during 2015. Along with the impact this experience had on Kaylee, she is clear that family is important to her. She details a visit with her parents and shares how much she cares for them. She also talks about attending the temple, so one can assume she is active in the LDS church. According to her blogger profile, she likes reading, summer, sports, outdoors, and ice cream.



Another recurring theme in her blog is her love of fitness. She likes to stay active and appreciates the benefits that come with that.

From here, I was guided to her LinkedIn Profile where I found more evidence to support her trustworthiness: She also was a Billing Representative at Vivint Smart Home. She also taught at the International Language Program in Provo. I can only assume it was through this program she came to teach in the Dominican Republic.

Also, according to LinkedIn, she also has been involved in charities and likes to help others be healthier. She is majoring in Health Education and Promotion, and minoring in Communication Studies. Her emphasis is on prevention. She wants people to figure out how to stay healthy before they have the chance to get sick. She is currently looking for an internship to help businesses implement employee wellness plans. I conclude she is compassionate and cares deeply for others.

Kaylee England has a wonderful online reputation. She presents herself as hard-working and compassionate. I found nothing that would make me question hiring her as an employee. She is constantly trying to improve herself and the world around her. She is willing to go out of her comfort zone and do hard things.

New Technology Assignment

New technology is coming that has the ability to protect the privacy of social media users: Blockchain. Blockchain is basically an encrypted online wallet that users can set up to verify to companies that they are who they say they are, all while keeping that information secure and out of the hands of anyone who shouldn’t have access to it. Currently, Blockchain is being tested for financial transactions, but I see it being useful for any kind of transactions. While this technology is not quite perfected yet, a lot of companies are investing in the technology because we are in somewhat of a privacy crisis. Within the last few months there have been huge security breaches concerning online data, with the biggest example being Facebook’s recent case where they sold data to Cambridge Analitica, who then used that data to target unsuspecting users with fake news and other malicious information. This kind of data breach can have huge impacts on politics, safety, and th

Reflection on Social Media Case 9: Ponderize

Image
Ethics can be a tricky thing when it comes to Social Media. Let’s take the example of the Durrant family and the Ponderize scandal. It went down like this: Elder Devin Durrant, a general authority in the Mormon Church gave a talk and coined a new phrase, “Ponderize” which is the combination of the words “ponder” and “memorize.” Members of the church were moved by the talk in general conference, and conveniently, there was a website selling shirts with “Ponderize” for sale immediately during the break. Who was selling the t-shirts? Well, it was Elder Durrant’s son, Ryan. Apparently, he set up the webpage about a week before General Conference. It didn’t take long for people to start complaining that Ryan and Elder Durrant were trying to use Elder Durrant’s position in the church for their own financial gain. According to Wikipedia, I think this could kind of be considered spiritual opportunism , or using religion as a path toward personal gain. Since Elder Durrant got to c

Ok Go is an amazing band. They make incredible music videos, and Upside Down & Inside Out is no exception! The band takes us in an airplane for this video to show us some real-life zero gravity action! It turns out this video has a little social media history behind it. But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. OK Go were having some success as a band before they started posting their awesome music videos, but they really became well-known with the viral success of their low-budget YouTube video, Here it Goes Again , which features the band doing some incredible treadmill moves! It didn’t take long for them to find this social media video niche was a perfect fit for them. They kept uploading their popular videos to YouTube and the masses kept watching them. In 2016, Ok Go worked with S7 Airlines to produce Upside Down & Inside Out. According to this article , Ok Go wanted to make the video a Facebook premier, where it was shown only on Facebook for 48 hours. There are
