The teach that I want to talk about is the Adobe Creative Cloud. What I like about this tech is that it has all the adobe gear that you need in it and that you can go and download the app that you want to use in it. The system requirements that are needed for the creative cloud for the desktop are the Microsoft® and Windows 10 (64-bit only) and later. Also, with Mac OS X v10. 12 and later. Finally needs Internet connection for it to work. (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/system-requirements.html). It’s is currently available to the public just go to the adobe.com to find it and see if you can pay for it from there. the adobe cloud was invented by the adobe Inc. scent they own all of the adobe program platforms that are in the cloud. With the adobe creative cloud, it helps you find which adobe program that you want to use by having a search bar in it. Scent it is hard to find what you are looking for on other search programs because it can sometimes give you what you are not looking for but it related to it. The possible drawbacks of the adobe cloud tech that are in it is the pricing of most and or all of the app in it being in the high rang area to get. Another that I can think of the drawbacks is that it might not have what your looking for in it like for example is that the cloud doesn’t have adobe blander app in it. The example I can give to show the technology impact on society is that it can help artist make digital works of art and maybe help with making animation and or help teach how to help or show some tips. It can also help with fixing some old pictures that got damage over the years or also make some neat pics that people combine together. It also can help with video extending/making by give people a platform to do it on and the platform having some tools or effects all ready in it.

One of the mobile apps that I want to talk about is the pandora app. It’s uses for listening to music from favorite artic and or genera/class. It also a leading music and podcast discovery platform. It also providing a highly-personalized listening experience to approximately 70 million users each month with its proprietary music genome project and podcast genome project. (https://www.pandora.com/about). The target audience for this app is music lovers and people that like listening to music. For the publishers and record labels they are heading for a collision over the huge difference in streaming royalty rates between master recordings labels and publishing songwriters with publishers and songwriters questioning why record labels should get five to 12 times as much as the writers when a track is streamed. With some of the publishers and songwriters they can with the labels are able to do 360-degree deals with artists where they get a share of merchandising, concert tickets and brand partnerships but with the songwriters can only make money from the actual recordings. So surely the songwriters should get a bigger slice of the pie from digital music services not less. With the case of Pandora songwriters get about $90 per 1m streams, 12 times less. Also, with YouTube varies but in general a songwriter who’s written 100% of a song makes about $90 per 1m streams. While a label can make $1,000 to $4,000 per 1m streams.( https://www.theguardian.com/media/media-blog/2014/apr/30/music-streaming-revenue-pandora-spotify). What I can offer for this app to get the most out of it is maybe have different radio stations to change back and forth from and/or pay for no ads play offer. An other thing you can do to get more out is to make sure that you tums up on the songs that you like and make sure to tums down on the ones you don’t like then get the tums up radio station in your pandora so you will be able to hear more of the songs you like more offed.

The second mobile app that I’m going to talk about is the mobile game called castle cats. It’s uses for entertain and fun. With Castle Cats lets you become the leader of a guild of cat heroes. It a very cute role-playing game and you are also able to collect the cats to make your team bigger and or to have them just to collect and just to have. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pocapp.castlecats&hl=en_US&gl=US). What I believe is the target audience is are people that like to play quest game and maybe cat lovers as well. The publisher of the game made it a free to play game but they do make profit from it by having the players of the game pay for the gears in the game if they happen to be impatient and or have money to use for it. The publisher for this game is the compete of PocApp Studios they make games that go along with the castle cats’ game. With pocapp its a mobile-first game development Studio, based in Skövde, Sweden and focus on their passion for all thing’s animals and gaming. With the Castle Cats game being the PocApp’s current jewel in the crown and has so far reached download figures of 5 million and counting across the Google Play Store, App Store and Amazon’s app store. (https://www.pocappstudios.com/press). What I can offer as a tip is to try to save up the coins and diamonds the best you can and be paction with it and don’t use all the stuff your give at the beginning of the game try to sit on it and make it a bigger amount to use in the further. If you have the money you can get the stuff you needed to be able to get the gear that you need or want.

One of the cloud-based systems that I use is this adobe creative cloud. With the adobe creative cloud, it helps me find adobe stuff that would like to use. Like for example photoshop and/or animate app. With the help of the adobe cloud it can download the apps for me to use without a dick needed and keep me up to data on them. Which is good scene my computer doesn’t have a dicks reader for me to use. The adobe cloud can also hold the stuff I made on the apps that use in it as well if I don’t have the space for it. The stuff in adobe cloud can still work as good with out the cloud. The cloud just makes it easier to find what your looking for and able to get it download when you find it. What I think the advantage of having this system is that I can go fine an adobe app then download it to give it a try and see if I like it or not. With the security and/or privacy concerns that I might have with it is that someone try to steal my work from this but I haven’t put anything in the cloud itself so, I think I’m good on that part but it might be an issue for someone else.

The other cloud-based system that I use is the cloud on my phone scene I’m with Verizon. With the cloud it holds some of the stuff on my phone for me but I don’t know what kind stuff it holds. Well I don’t know if the system works well with out the cloud scenes my phone came with it already in it. The advantages with the cloud are hard to tell scene I’m not very well know about its workings and/or knowing how it works. The security or privacy concerns of this system is very concerning because it’s hard to tell if the phone company that I’m with is not using the information that I put in the cloud are not using it to give to other people or if they are ease dropping on me. The other thing that I would share about the Verizon cloud is that it has a limited storage space and if you want to get more space you have to buy it.

Funko vs Scott coffin

The example that I found for bad behavior in the online space is that scene I’m somewhat part of the YouTube community I head this information from them. What I heard is that of the toy/merchandise company known as funko found a way to get their hands on the designs of the characters in the new game that is not out yet and leak them to start selling them for their company with out the permission of the developer of the game to do that. The game in question is the new five nights at Freddy’s game security breach. When the developer Scott coffin heard of this, he was not very happy about its scene he posts it somewhere showing that. It also turns out that even some of the five nights at Freddy’s fans are not very happy about it either. Scene some of them do not like the designs of the characters as well of what the pop culture collectible company has done. So pretty much the outcome of this is that Scott coffin may not let funko have the right to sell merch of his game anymore and or limited the amount of information of his games so they don’t do it again or keep a better eye on them. I’m not fully sure scene there’s not a lot of information on this and it also heard to find what is real and what’s not real scene the YouTube community has the intended of making memes about stuff and somewhat blow them out of portion at times and or treat it like a jock and not taking it seriously. For the financial loss it might be that funko is not aloud to sell the five nights at Freddy’s game security breach merch anymore and or they don’t have the right anymore to sell merch for any future games by Scott coffin. I’m not fully sure on that scene I haven’t found and or heard any information on that scene this is still pretty new information about the franchise but what I do know this isn’t the first it that funko massed up scene I seen an YouTube video that had a person doing funko merch opening thing and they find out that funko stolen other people’s designs of the five nights at Freddy’s characters that they made themselves. They even went out of their way to look and see who funko stole from. For the criminals held accountable I’m not sure if they where held accountable scene I don’t know if the issue is being deled with or not scene on one heard and or seen if Scott is taking funko to court or not. I even don’t know if the issue is being deled with or if it’s really a big problem to deal with scene this pandemic is pretty much keep a lot and or few people at home it’s heard to tell what’s going on in the world expertly in the five nights at Freddy’s fandom and the development of that franchise as well. So pretty much what I learned from this is that be careful on who you give rights to on something that is yours they might take avenge of it and do something that you don’t want them to do and or go behind your back and do the thing that you told them not to do.

I’m the IT supervisor of a gourmet food retailer with three stores and an online e-commerce marketplace. My job is to make sure that no identify potential threats, organization’s vulnerabilities and help with on how to minimize digitally-induced disaster. To help with these cyber threats is to one try to figure out who’s is the enemy that you’re dealing with. which can be a number of people but still can be narrow down in the business world like for example it could be the computation of the corporation. Then it might be the local scammer and or scammers inguinal. They might also be an organized crime group need to watch out for those. also need to watch out for hackers that are try to steal the money that   the corporation makes. another example might be the employees in the corporation that are aware or not by accident. Other thing that I do is to know the corporation that I work for so I make sure that incase the enemy is a spy in the corporation or try to get in is to make sure there’s spyware in the building. Then make sure that the corporation has a strong firewall system in the website that we use. Then I go and make some rules/ regulations for the computer safety in the corporation. I also have the corporation go through a two-week password change to make sure no one is getting hacked. with hacking I also check on our customers data to make sure that the data is not getting stole and be used by anyone else that it not intended for. Then go and do random check to make sure that the employees are following the rules and if it turns out they were not following them they would get punished for that. Which might led to them to get relocated to a different section of the build or the possibility of getting fired from there job. With that I go and develop a strategy that may help with the computer safety. One of the progress is to make a trap for the employees to see if they are a spy that are try to steal the information from the corporation to sell to the compulsion or for their personal game or by accidie because they didn’t know any better. Then try to train the employees on how to tell the email they got is a scam or not and how to deal with it. Also make sure that the corporation is up to data with current theists and possible try to keep the technology up to date if necessary, to make sure that the corporation is well protected from these theists. I also go and limit the access of the internet with the employee’s computers just to make sure no cyber theists get in that way and limit possible of virus theists as well. Then once in a while I go a test their knowledge to see that they are keeping up on the regulations and to see that they are also loyalty to the corporation that they work for and not being a trader to it by not following them.

What we mean by content management system or by short the CMS is an application that is used to manage web content, allowing multiple contributors to create, edit and publish. Which is typically stored in a database and displayed in a presentation layer based on a set of templates of the website. With CMS it’s pretty much is usually browser-based so yes, it’s is just for websites. There is one major advantage of a CMS is its collaborative nature as well as their multiple users can log on and contribute, schedule or edit content to be published.

With building a website for your small business and or creating your personal blog it’s kind of easy to get obsessed with creating the perfect look for your new website. With creating a new website, they can be created by using either HTML or CSS. With HTML’s they are the coding language that powers the majority of web page on the internet. However, while a newcomer will be able to build a basic website in a day or two, the result will be very simple and bare-bones (https://www.colocationamerica.com/blog/cms-web-design-vs-html-which-is-best.htm). With CSS’s they are the responsible for the design or style of the website, including the layout, visual effects and background color. CSS is in charge of the way the content looks on a page and what else goes on it to compliment that content. With both of them they complement each other scene the HTML’s are the texts of the web page and also to create the actual content of the page. While the CSS’s are the coding that create the style of the page. (https://www.codingdojo.com/blog/html-vs-css-inforgraphic)

How CMSs impact the wed design industry is that of while designing a page, consider what areas will likely need to be editable. With designing a website, you might want to think about how the content might change and how that would affect the design. With CMS it typically works best with a modular website design that is a design that consists of reusable components and patterns. Also, with CMS they are not taking away jobs from web developers they are trying to make it easier to develop a web page so there maybe more web developers to choose from but also, not all web developers are the same so there also more chooses on the design of the page that you want of your business as well.

1.What were the top three social media sites, in terms of traffic, in 2019-20? List them in order of popularity.

Number one is Instagram. Number two is YouTube. Finally, number three is Facebook.
(https://spark.adobe.com/make/learn/top-social-media-sites/)

2.Provide a brief summary of how each social media site works and why people use it.

With Instagram and how it works is that their influencers, brands, bloggers, small business owners, friends and everyone in between take or show pictures of beautiful photography, stunning visuals, unique designs, selfie-style video that speaks directly to your audience and a cohesive theme. The people that use it to help stand out on Instagram and or incase their target audience is under the age of 40 and run a lifestyle, ecommerce, or photography business.
With YouTube and how it works is that your business could benefit from producing video tutorials or walkthroughs, visually-driven instructional content, product reviews or interviews. With the people using it are the one that are making video content scene it a video platform. Depending upon your type of business and who your audience is, both long-form and short-form video content can work very well on this platform. They try to combination of education and entertainment, so whether they are teaching your audience about emerging marketing tactics or streaming video gameplay, work hard to retain their attention throughout their videos.
Finally, with Facebook and how it works is that the more interesting, engaging or even polarizing your content is, the more likely it is to go viral on Facebook. With the people that use it to reach an audience of adults and have engaging visual (or video) content that can capture their attention, invoke an immediate emotional response and make them excited to share with their friends or if you want an easy way to create an online community around a topic or business.

3.What are “demographics” and why is it important in social media?

Demographics are the study of a population based on factors such as age, race, and sex. They also refer to socio-economic information expressed statistically, also including employment, education, income, marriage rates, birth and death rates and more factors.
(https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/demographics.asp)

The reason why they are important is that demographics help you set up marketing personas and understand your audience in greater detail. Also, if you’re looking to widen your audience such as trying to reach generation Z or other generations. you can use current demographic data to figure out which networks you can focus your content energy on to grab your audience.

4.Explain any demographics that stand out among the three social media sites you listed above. (More popular with a specific age group, are majority of user’s male or female, married or single, employees or self-employed, etc.)

What I seen with Instagram demographics is that the majority of 56.3% users are female while the 43.7% are male. There are120.7 million Instagram users are from the US. Which to me is a lot of people that are on Instagram.
What I see in the YouTube demographic is that the majority of 81% of 15–25-year-olds in the US use YouTube. With the 35+ and 55+ age groups are the fastest growing YouTube demographics so far for this year.
Now for what I seen for Facebook demographic is that the majority of 88% of online users of age 18-29 are on Facebook. While 84% of those 30-49 of age. With 62% of online Seniors aged 65+ are on Facebook and 72% are between age 50-64 of age. Which shows how long it lasted and that it applied to all ages.

5.On average, how much time do users spend on each social media site during a day, week or month?
Provide a resource that supports your answer.
With Instagram users they will spend an average of 28 minutes per day on the platform in 2020 by far as we know.
With the majority of 51% of YouTube users say they visit the site daily.
With Facebook users Almost 90% of Facebook’s Daily Active Users Come from Outside the US/Canada. While the Monthly Active Users from Asia are 1,013,000 million.
(https://www.omnicoreagency.com/)

6.Which of the three social media networks is growing the fastest? Why do you think that is?

I believe that Instagram is growing the fastest. The reason to why is that in 2018, Instagram has been the fastest-growing social network, with 1 billion monthly users. While in 2019 was the year when more B2B companies join Instagram. While the brands that have already established their presence on this social network will try and up their Instagram game.
