I am majoring in sports communications at High Point. I have wanted to have a profession in sports since I was little. I always wanted to be a sports journalist but in freshman year I drifted more towards wanting to interview players and make inspiring  videos about different players. I would love to mainly focus on Football, Hockey, and Baseball players. My goal is to bring more of an identity to these players. If you know their background, where they're from, how they got to where they are today then it makes it more than just a game.

Most of my posts about technology are negative and show the different consequences that come with them. However, social media isn't all bad. Sports has been greatly impacted by social media. Fantasy football has brought people closer to games than ever before. Now, not only are you rooting for your team but also rooting for different players on other teams which puts a greater relationship between players and fans. Teams social media accounts are great for getting to know the players and the team more.

This builds a stronger and more emotional relationship for followers.

Privacy  While watching these ted talks my anxiety about technology went through the roof. I obviously know about privacy issues and how it is like a tattoo. However, the revenge porn video scared me the most. It's not as if she sent someone these pictures, they were taken while she was asleep. It's crazy to think how this could happen to anyone and their lives could be turned upside down in seconds all with the click of a button. Privacy is a serious issue and I dont think we will ever get a sense of privacy back. It's only going to get worse. The license plate readers everywhere, recording our locations, for what ? These people aren't breaking the law. Our data is stolen and harvested and sometimes I realize honestly we do it to ourselves. We agree to the terms and conditions. Yes, these companies should not be allowed to harvest our information but we technically let them. It is a tricky situation. No one wants their data stolen, and used for who knows what but als...
