Welcome to my blog!



 Hello! My name is Nathan Johnson and I'm From Stockbridge, GA. I moved to the Tampa area when I was about 15 years old, and I've loved it here ever since. 

Currently, I'm majoring in Information Science here at USF with a concentration in Information Technology. I hope to eventually become a Security Architect, and this year I plan to get some certifications and possibly do an internship to get more experience. I've worked a variety of part-time jobs during college, including Walmart, Target, and now Five Guys. As far as volunteer experience, I helped at Feeding Tampa Bay and Pasco Animal Services during high school. I really love animals, so it was a super fun experience for me.

In my free time, I love playing video games and have been playing them since I was 3 years old. I also love rollercoasters and going to the gym! I would love to start traveling more, as I only went on my first plane trip about a year ago. I really want to go to Disney Land in California to visit the Avengers Campus! I'm a big Star Wars fan, so going to Galaxy's Edge at Disney World and making a lightsaber was such a cool experience. An interesting fact about myself is that I have a 19-year age gap with my oldest sister, so I became an uncle at just 6 years old!

 As far as social media goes, the main one that I use is TikTok just for browsing videos when I'm bored. Growing up I used to love binge-watching different YouTube videos, but now I think I prefer the shorter video styles that TikTok uses. This is my first blog, and I haven't had too much experience with reading them beforehand, so I'm excited to learn more about them in this class. Already though I can see how personal they can be with sharing details about your life so I like that aspect.

Metrics and Analytics: lj 3

 This week's readings talked about RSS feeds and simplifying news consumption. Prior to this, I had no idea what RSS was. I had seen the logo before on different websites and just now made the connection. I learned that RSS brings together a summarized feed of relevant content instead of the user having to scroll through different articles and spend extra time looking at content that they may not like. The readings helped explain how simple it was to access RSS, and it is something I will likely implement into my own news feed to help shrink the time it would normally take to search for content. Additionally, I wasn't aware that Reddit and its subreddits met the qualifications of RSS. I use Reddit almost on a daily basis, so it was nice to see the content relating to something that I understand and know how to navigate. Different social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook have never been too appealing to me as I find it trickier to find content that I like and navigate thr...

What I think about Social Media: LJ1

 Prompt 1:     Social Media has changed a lot over the years and has taken different shapes and formats. However, there are some blanket dos and don'ts that people should follow when using any social media platform. Whenever I use social media, I try to be careful with what personal information I share, such as my name, address, or workplace. I would rather be safe than sorry, as anyone can use personal information that you post against you. Growing up, I would only use social media to watch videos and like posts. I was too afraid to post my own content and didn't really care to use social media in that manner. Nowadays, I post different videos or pictures here and there and try to get more involved online. I currently use Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok to name a few. Starting out, I was very nervous to leave comments or posts of any kind. If I could change anything from back then, I would have interacted with people more and not been as timid out of fear of judgment. Pr...
