 I personally think that the media helps to be more creative and explore more things. Like posting pictures or videos with different content. I feel like the more creative you are the more interest you catch as an individual and also you grow. You can explore more new ideas and inspirations For example, Instagram gives the ability to explore your interest in photography which contributes to the creative process.  Writer vs. Writer: Does Social Media Foster Creativity?

 I feel like when you post something on Twitter, you do not need sound professional and be formal. You can express your thoughts however you like to. But when I use Blackboard discussion, I have to be professional and make sure that my words make sense and relate to the object of discussion. Also, I cannot use emojis. For the in-class discussion, you can use gestures to express yourself and you do not need to sound so formal in-class discussions.   

  Visit Facebook, Twitter - and TWO other social networking site of your choosing. Compare your impressions of these 4 sites. Note that you probably should register and log in to get the complete picture. Facebook: You can have a sense of connection by texting people who live far. Also, you can post there your opinion and have discussions with others. Twitter: I feel like Twitter gives us the ability to express our thoughts freely regarding any topic. For example, it can be about the recent presidential debate or celebrities. Also, you can respond to others' posts and share your opinion.  Instagram: This huge platform can be used to meet new people either it is for business-related stuff or just for friendship. You can see what people post, what they are interested in, and in that way you can find people with mutual interests. Tumblr: It allows users to post blogs, pictures. On Tumblr, you post more casual posts.
