Tech Disconnect Project

This project is definitely going to be a rough and tough one. We have to completely disconnect from all technology for 24 WHOLE hours. There can be no usage of anything related to phones, televisions, computers, radios, etc. For me, this is going to be hard because I use technology quite often throughout my day. It's what I go to when I'm bored out of my mind and can't possibly find anything else to do with my day. I also often find myself constantly checking my phone even if I don't hear it ring or vibrate, it's just a natural habit of mine I guess you could say. The only way I plan to and can accomplish this is to basically force myself to stay away from everything related to technology. I just have to tell myself no and I will be able to push forward and complete the project. I'm actually kind of excited to figure out the outcome of this project because me going without any technology for 24 hours is definitely a no go in my world.

Twitter Project

The project we are given is to create a Twitter account that is professional. I'm not very familiar with twitter because I've never had an account of my own and it never really sparked my interest to have one. Now that I created an account, it's going to be a new experience for me. I'm excited to be able to post and share things about my future career, my interests, my hobbies, etc. I think it will also be a good way to look at things in the world around me and be able to research certain topics when it comes or relates to digital media. It's definitely a lot harder to keep a social media account like this so called "professional" because most people use them as a personal resource. Being that I've never had a twitter and haven't experienced it fully, I think it will be an easier project for me to complete. I'm looking forward to the experience I will have and take using Twitter.
