Social Media

     Social media is becoming something that people use everyday or different reasons. People can use it to make connections or network with other people. They can use it to keep track of their company as well as others, they can hold meetings with five people in five different countries, they can keep up with family and friends without having to go see them. Social media has grown rapidly and nearly become a necessity in the past decade.
    In the assignment we were asked to post things that related to our major. During a normal week i rarely use my facebook account but i decided to use that for my assignment. I read through lots of articles from many different companies and learned lots of interesting things going on in the Ag world.
     This assignment helped me realize how easy it is to connect with people, companies, businesses, etc. I noticed that i was taking in a lot of facts about different companies without even noticing it.
     I used to think facebook was a waste of time. After social media week I can see where it can be useful. That doesn't mean everyone uses it that way.
   In my opinion social media is both negative and positive. It is positive because it is so easy to bring people together. It can be negative when you lose the desire to connect with people face to face or when you become addicted to checking your facebook to see what others are doing.

Blog 3 MBTI

By using the MBTI profile i have a better understanding of my preferences when it comes to taking in information and the way i retain knowledge. MBTI said i was introverted, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. All of those categories seem to fit me at one time or another. I think that this is a good way to find out your preferences but that at different times in your life you will act in different ways. I think it depends on your environment which way you feel. For instance if I'm around good friends and people i know i can be very extroverted but when i am around people i don't know and are just meeting I tend to be more quiet and just sit back and take it in. One thing that i don't think changes about me is that i don't make plans and I do things on the fly. I don't think i could ever be categorized in the judging category because i don't like to be totally organised or planned. I like being spontaneous and flexible and keep all of my options open. As far as my goals i believe my categories will definitely help me because I like to do things by myself to get them done, I like to take in information in more then one way, I like to be logical, and I like to be flexible about accomplishing my goals especially if there isn't a set due date on them. The MBTI assessment didn't really teach me anything new about myself as much as it confirmed the way i tend to view myself.
