Pop Culture Dives Into the Repeal of Net Neutrality to Help Bring Awareness to the Unfair Treatment of Consumers Burger King is taking over the Internet with the best advertisement of the decade with 'Whopper Neutrality.' Bud Light has come up with a simplistic ad recently with the phrase 'Dilly Dilly, but Burger King has created an intelligent metaphor for the repeal of Net Neutrality. Both ads resonate with audiences, but I find the Burger King ad to provide depth and meaning, along with excellent product placement of their brand. The F.C.C. recently voted to repeal the regulations of Net Neutrality.

The Online and Offline Transition of 2018 In 2018 Web design and layout has become even more vital for engaging online audiences. When connecting consumers with online/offline data, Internet speed can often be a roadblock. I suggest Web developers use Accelerated Mobile Pages for faster deliver regarding their online content.

They work within a browser, but create a look and feel similar to an app. Progressive Web Apps are important for the following reasons: Offline viewing of content. Push notifications. Add the site to the home screen. Faster

A New Level of User Interaction from Nintendo Nintendo is releasing a new DIY project titled Labo that combines cardboard with an enhanced user experience. The Nintendo Labo will be available on April 20, 2018. It delivers a totally unique gaming experience that gives the user ability to explore different virtual environments with the Nintendo Switch.

Facebook News Ranking Makes A Mockery of Journalism

By |January 19th, 2018|Categories: Economy, Featured, National News, Politics, Tech News, United States, YouTube|Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |

Algorithms and Ranking News Based On Popularity Is Not Healthy for Consumers Facebook announced today their plans to change the ranking of news stories to prioritize them based on trustworthy value of the publisher. As a journalist that works hard on providing accurate news on the Web, I can see from a distance the problems and issues that will take place with this new concept. The last presidential election was heavily influenced by advertising misinformation on Facebook. That will only increase with these new plans. In reality, journalism is not a popularity contest with the outlet that has the most
