Technology Article: Teens' enthusiasm for Facebook is waning

Many teens have stopped using Facebook and have turned to other social media. Such as Twitter, Instagram  and Snapchat. Teens feel like there is too much drama on Facebook now and that their parents are controlling over there Facebook. Some teens said that they feel like they can express themselves better on other social media sites. They felt freed from the social expectations and constraints of Facebook. Pew found that the typical (median) teen Facebook user has 300 friends, while the typical teen Twitter user has 79 followers. Many people will still keep their Facebook so they can still check it every so often. Or they will keep it because it is connected to other social media.

Is Yahoo about to buy Tumblr?

On Thursday May 16th talks were held between Tumblr's owner David Karp and the CEO of Yahoo Marissa Mayer. Now that Tumblr is becoming more popular Mayer has become more interested in it than in past years. She has offered Karp 1 billion dollars for the creation on his site. People believe that if Yahoo bought Tumblr Yahoo would become popular again but many Tumblr users disagree.If Karp did sell Tumblr to Yahoo at 1 billion dollars then it would be the biggest purchase since Facebook bought Instagram last year.

Career Cluster Results

My top career cluster was Human Services. Human services help individuals and families meet their personal needs. Jobs that fall under this pathway are psychologists, physical therapist, mental health counselors, and child care workers. Caring and nurturing toward others. I think that this fits me well. I would want to be a mental health counselor or work in social services. Another one of my top results is Education and Teaching. This is another pathway I would want to work in. I would like to learn sign language and become a teacher.
