Session 3

In the thrid session of the course of IHMN 301 we learned about social media. social media is very important in communication nowadays. marketing through it has become a crucial step for companies to reach their market faster and more conveniently. and because digital data can be filtered to certain clusters from users information, it become easier to understand consumer behaviour when conducting a marketing strategy or any business plan.
Different social media platform has different purposes. Some are not as common as others like Facebook and Pinterest.
The session was one of the most interesting so far this year because we watched a lot of videos that help us to understand the academic material. Videos are more attractive than lecture because they have visuals and audible content that reach to my senses and have greater impact on increasing my education and knowledge rather than a typical class lecture. both methods will have the same topic but the approach is difference maker.
i wish more teacher adapt this entertaining and more beneficial, in my view, method of teaching.

Session 1

In my first year program I took a course in Technology (TECH101) with Robert Aucion. In one his classes he mentioned that the internet, as a business idea, was not ment to success, but it did.

And it was developed as a communication tool between the US military and scientists. if the military needed research information about a particular subject they haven't done yet they would reach through the internet to the scientist and see if they have any, more like a sharing network. (correct me if I was Wrong).

The development of Web 2.0 was very important for the tourism industry. Communications between consumers and business become more convenient and generated money. it has made a lot of changes to both sides. the word of mouth is now broader. when a customer reviews a product on Yelp or Google, it is exposed to the rest of the world. however, some operators may take an unethical rout and create fake reviews for the sake of attracting more people.
