Online Reputation: Karla Urie

According to her Google, Karla is a fun-loving girl who attended Snow College. From her pictures, it is clear that she likes to hike and is fantastic at makeup.

Her love of makeup is confirmed on her Facebook page. We also learn from here that she has been an Admissions Officer at USU since 2016. Her hometown is Ferron, Utah. She is alone in most of her pictures and it doesn't seem like she is in a relationship.

I found the most information about Karla was found on her Instagram account. I know that she took a break from school and came back recently. She will graduate in 2020. She went to Thailand on USU's Spring Break where she rode an elephant. Family is very important to her. She is close to her father and has fond memories of eating ice cream at 10 PM. Being an aunt is her favorite job and she posts often about her 6 nieces and nephews. She is definitely very loving and willing to spend time with family. Her sister was the Miss Peach Days Queen. She seems adventurous and fun!

Traveling seems like a very big part of her life. She posts a lot of pictures of her doing exciting things.

This is the second time I have done this assignment. It never ceases to creep me out. After the last time, I made my family blog private and changed my privacy settings on Facebook. I don't really want the world to know every thing about me.

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
