Keeping Up with Cris.

  As kids, we would not dare touch a book if it didn't have any pictures. I believe that when it comes to articles, more readers are drawn to the content when there are pictures involved. An article written by Jeff Bullas titled,  6 Powerful Reasons You Should Include Images in Your Marketing - Infographic , he makes a list explaining why images help boost your audience. The first thing he writes about is that overall, articles with images attached get 94% more total views. This can lead to an increase in sales for marketing teams, a rise in popularity for free-lance bloggers, more pay for writers who's checks rely on views or subscriptions, and so many more possibilities.  Another reason photos do a better job of roping in customers, viewers, or readers is because the new generation of kids have grown up with technology at the tip of their fingers. A previous blog I've written tells of the addiction kids have to technology recently. We even know that when awa...

Blog Post #2 In my opinion, people argue because they want to defend their view on things and sometimes to make the other person question their's.

People tend to understand and see more into your position when they have  hardcore evidence shown to them. Another way to prove your point positively would be to have quotes or a conversation from a credible source. These ...

Blog Post #1                        One of the most controversial topics is the impact that technology is having on our developing society. Everywhere you turn, you're faced with kids watching youtube videos, teens enveloped in their social media accounts, or elderly people trying to figure out how to adapt to the fast-changing pace of these advancements. Many of us have multiple social media platforms that we keep up with and it is rare to find someone who has none.  But is our constant need to connect to the internet damaging ? In the video "Social Media Trends 2017", one of the points made is that when we're out socializing at parties or casual hang outs, we focus more on capturing the moment for our next post than actually living in the moment. It also points out that we've started to use our phones for a variety of everyday activities. We use voice activation tools such as the iPhone's Siri or Amzon's Alexa...
