Introduction

Hello,

My name is Amber Dees. I am a senior at the University of West Georgia majoring in Mass Communications with a concentration in Film and Media Arts and minoring in Marketing. Originally, I began college at Gordon State College but transferred to UWG Fall 2012. I am from Meriwether County, Georgia. Hobbies of mine include music, especially playing guitar, and traveling.

The social media applications I currently participate the most in include: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter. After upgrading to a smartphone last year I have also used applications such as Snapchat, Pandora, Spotify and Foursquare to name a few more. Compared to five years ago, in 2009 my primary social media outlet was Facebook and possibly still Myspace. I was somewhat active in a few message boards about music and occasionally kept a blog.

There have certainly been multiple evolutions in the way people connect via social media. It will be interesting to see what comes next.
