“Look up” Social Media Campaign

My research presentation was on communication in an age of digital media, and the benefits of online communication. I argued that social and digital media have only given us a different form of communicating and we should not look at it as better or worse than face-to-face communication. Social media allows us to stay connected and maintain relationships with people that are important in our lives. It also offers a platform for self expression and exploration and has allowed for novel ways of reflection. However, it is true that there is a time and a place for technology and part of living in an age of digital media and making the digital shift is to learn when to unplug and take a tech break. This is why I’ve created a Pinterest board with ideas that will allow people to take a break from technology. Some of the ideas could also involve technology, such as reading books on a device, and even just using Pinterest to get ideas. This is a way to incorporate technology into activities that don’t involve being glued to a screen. There are lists of places to travel, restaurants to try, DIY projects, and lists of books to read, such as “Books to read before they are movies” or “Best books of 2014.”  We need to “look up” once in a while and make this digital shift together.

  1. This is a really cool idea, and is super relevant/relatable because of this source. Very catchy name, and using Pinterest is a great idea, but I would recommend also adding a Facebook and twitter page to enhance the amount of followers and create a variety of audiences to engage with your campaign.

  2. This is an awesome idea. I think that part of the website should also have sections that allow for viewers to click through different categories based off what they enjoy and link them to those sites.

  3. Oh man I feel like I would visit this page a lot! Specially with summer break so close. It would be cool to add a section where people can talk to each other and offer each other advice on certain things. Maybe something you may not think of putting, others can suggest.
