As I am a Y generation, I also using a lot
of social media such as Facebook, Instagram, WeiBo or twitter this kind of
social media. As Facebook and Instagram I know many people are using, so I want
to share my experience that I do not like to present myself in those social
media. Before I am working as sales when we have new colleagues, my colleagues
just see their Facebook and they will know what the new colleagues what they
work before, what mutual friends they have. Also, my colleagues like to through
this two social media find the others who fall in love with other shops colleagues. That is the reason that I don’t want to
put such a lot of things onto the social media because people easily just get
the information in those media and think what kind of people you are and know
all about your history. I don’t want to let us just know about my history and easily
judge what is my personality nowadays, so I do not put photos or just type any
status on my Facebook and Instagram.
As
many people using Facebook and Instagram I want to share my experience in using
Weibo to show social media is making people get more understand form each
other. As I have been using Weibo for 5 years and I also meet some Chinese
through Weibo. I have talk with them a lot about my opinion about how the China
government and they also feel shock on how what the China government has done
before. I think Weibo can let the Chinese get in touch with Hong Kong news but
Weibo also have its restrict because this social media mostly is using by the
Chinese only but I can also find that through Weibo, I can easily get what the
China news and not just in Facebook, we can keep in touch on other social media
to know the other country culture. (330 words)

Dear Jodi, the section about your experience in using Weibo is nice. It also tells us something positive related to the usage of new technology. I would like to recommend you to relate your discussion to some theoretical perspectives in your future writing. Those learnt in Wesley class are also relevant. In your case, apart from 'presentation of self', the 'uses and gratifications' theory is relevant. Let's see if we have a chance to discuss this theory later in class (Frankie)
