Instagram
was founded in 2010 by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, the app was designed to
allow people to share, comment and like pictures. It gained 1 million followers
after 2 months of the launch. It was later bought by Facebook in 2012 for 1
billion dollars, it later began to develop features such as filters, stories,
promotional ads, IGTV, and direct messaging over the last 10 years and it
currently has over 1 billion users. Instagram has changed the way we
communicate with people through our time, we can like and follow people halfway
across the world. Instant messaging and sharing pictures from different people,
it’s considered one of the most popular photography editing apps. People can
promote their business, brand, recent travels and trends. In my own opinion, I can
honestly say that Instagram is one of my favorite apps due to the fact that it
contains so many features, and you’re able to engage with anyone on the
platform, even celebrities if you wanted to. Influencers and celebrities are a
big part of Instagram, influencers and even the celebrities gain and earn money
from their followers. Doing this they advertise products or anything they think
will grab their audience attention and buy, the more followers the more
revenue. Instagram really ties into social status, obviously if you have that
blue check you’re automatically deemed as “verified” which is what everyone
wants but can’t have. When people see that you’re verified on Instagram they
automatically will assume you are an influencer, which would be commonly true.https://medium.com/@obtaineudaimonia/how-instagram-started-8b907b98a767
In February
of 2005, Steve Jobs started the top-secret negations with Cingular which is now
AT&T which eventually lead to AT&T having the US exclusive contract for
the up and coming iPhone. In 2006 Apple
began the process of revising OSX to become the iPhone OS. Doing this, they
understood that they would have to reduce the OSX size to a few hundred
megabytes from the several gigabytes it currently was. Over the following year
Apple had spent millions setting up testing environments, building the hardware
and the software that would create the iPhone. Apple was so obsessed with their
secrecy that they didn’t allow the hardware and the software teams to interact.
Finally, in January 2007, Steve Jobs finally announced the iPhone at Macworld.
Later that year in May of 2007, Apple was granted the pass to finally market
the iPhone, which then in June the iPhone went on sale in the U.S. Since it has
been released the iPhone has had major milestones. The iPhone’s OS has all of
the thread management technologies that are now considered very standard. The
iPhone OS has no built-in garbage collection. The closest thing they have to
memory management is auto releasing objects. In short, the application
developer is required to manage their own memory. Along with these new
impressive technological developments the iPhone has advanced in camera quality
as well. When the iPhone camera snaps a scene, as above, it is not only optics
and a photo-sensitive surface that determine the outcomes, as with conventional
cameras. The device can perform many combinations of digital operations,
including analyzing the image data, performing algorithmic changes, connecting
to other data spaces and storing image fi les. For example, the iPhone might
return a dramatically processed photographic image, create an office document
or use the image as pure information. This wide range of potential operations
is courtesy of the iPhone’s key software innovation: apps, bundles of meaning
and functionality each marked by its own distinctive name and icon and
available for sale in the App Store. Any app that uses the iPhone’s camera
becomes an interface between user events of photography and a particular set of
possible visual and informational processes. Despite having a camera with major
technical limitations, the iPhone has become a disruptive technology in amateur
photography. Overall you can see how far the iPhone has really came throughout
the years, from the developing software to the cool designs they have come up
with and also the amazing camera quality features.
Coming across
these two blog websites I’m getting the sense that I’ve never heard or seen
these pages before is because of its content. On theamericanconservative.com
website it starts off discussing the story of Abraham’s father, statuette idols
and gods. It mentions how for many Americans, these idols whose heads have
fallen off are the members of the Republican and Democratic establishments.
Seeing that Trump and Sanders are the leaders of their parties, this indicates
that they’ve concluded that the traditional political gods are phony, so get
rid of the entire system. Seeing that this is what it has come to, the
political class thinks that both political figures are filled with empty
vessels. They feel as though they lack in mortality, but is just playing the
game for themselves. People feel as though our system is entering uncharted
waters, or in other words on the brink of destruction. Reading over both of
these blogs raises serious questions. I feel that I haven’t heard or seen these
pages mainly because of the content it contains, and also the ideas that are
permitted. Also, these are just opinions really and ideas, but many people
could be thinking the same thing. I get the idea behind what’s being stated
here, because often times I think of the same thing. Our system is in trouble,
and Trump possess zero mortality in my opinion. Seeing what has been happening in
the news for the past years, he shows he doesn’t possess this trait or has very
little mortality.
