PLT also known as pretty little thing embrace vitiligo through one of there most famous models Winnie Harlow. Winnie has a the skin condition and models clothes as she wants to put out a positive message out to girl and boys that u can be confident with skin conditions and they don't make u not beautiful.

I think this is such a good way to educate and show more people about the skin conditions PLT is a huge brand that people shop on everyday and will see this. Its also a powder move for pretty little thing showing they are a supportive brand and put a message out to other people with this skin condition that its nothing to be ashamed of.

Lll

next post is going to be about twitter. Twitter was first launched on the 21st of march 2006 founded by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Noah Glass and Biz Stone. Twitter let’s you post small blogs with a certain amount of characters you can use as known as “tweets” users can like, comment and share the tweets, They can really be about anything and many people use this app.

Twitter is so popular as it allows you to communicate with people, share information and engage with posts that you are interested in. You can also share videos and links on your posts. A lot of singers use twitter to promote new music coming out.

Twitter has many features such as the most obvious one sharing tweets, you can follow people, you can share tweets privately to friends or retweet them for everyone to see, you can add links to your posts and videos and you can pin your top tweets.

There are many pros and cons of twitter. starting with a pro you can get access to the latest news very quickly, but a con of this is sometimes the news you see on social media isn’t actually true and is giving you false information, Another pro is that twitter doesn’t require you to use your real name but this could be a problem as it could let people use fake identity’s and hidden accounts that they could use for cyber bullying lastly another pro is that twitter allows you to express yourself and give your opinion but a con of this is you could say something wrong or inappropriate and get your account temporarily or permanently banned.

Twitter can be used for promoting events and showing the dates and times or letting people know they are happening or cancelled. Personally I think other social medias would be better for this such as facebook or instagram but twitter can still help promote it.

I myself have twitter but rarely use it, I have no problems with it but it has never been an app I have been interested in.

today I will be talking about face book.

What is facebook? Facebook is a social media app that was launched on february 4th 2004. Over the years it has gained many users but now has around 44million users. The reason facebook is so popular as it is a big source of information and news but can also be used as a form of entertainment, as well as that it can be used to communicate with family and friends.

Facebook has different features letting you use the app in different ways. A few examples of these would be sharing and interacting with posts, giving/asking for recommendations for different places, promoting businesses, going live, watching videos and many other things. A separate app known as facebook messenger allows you too phone, video call and message people from all over the world , family and friends instantly.

There are many positive things about facebook such as seeing family and friends posts these post could be holiday photos, milestones, achievements, childhood photos and many other things. Another positive is it allows you to communicate instantly with people all around the world, this could be a phone call or a message. Lastly another positive is there is many business opportunities. A facebook profile for you buisness will help advertise and attract customers. It could generally just help you get started. Other than all the positive facebook has a few negatives starting with cyber bullying, it’s very easy for someone to harass you on this as anything can be really said but a way to stop this is by blocking and reporting. Another negative is facebook can be a distraction.

On facebook your privacy can be invaded as you can find out a lot about a person just by there profile. You can find out where they went to school, where they work, their age, birthday, where they live and there interests. Sometimes this information can be used for the wrong thing and is something you should be aware of. facebook can also be a place for cyber bullying as it would be far to difficult for the app to monitor every comment,message and posts. To avoid this you can block the person if they are causing you a hard time or you can report them.

Facebook is really good for events and is can be used to promote people to come to the event. It can also be a place where you can buy tickets and can advertise what will be happening during the event.

Personally I use facebook quite alot as i find it really enjoyable to use as there is many features and I get to see what my family and friends are upto!

E-safety is a very important thing because sometimes the internet can be a dangerous place, What i mean by this is it’s a place where fraud can occur, People pretending to be someone who there not to trick other people (this can also include children) , it can be a place for cyber bullying and there is also a chance you might see things that you don’t want to see. The internet can be a great place when your using it safely and correctly.

There are many things you can do to make sure the internet is a safer place for you and any children who could be using it. On many apps there is a thing called parental controls, this allows what a child can and can’t look at, watch or do. Youtube also have a separate app called youtube kids. This lets you have access to see what they are watching but also limits them at the same time. Other than protecting your children you need to remember to keep your self safe online you can do this by making sure you have strong passwords, keep your devices up to date, keep an eye out for scams, keep all your information to yourself and only yourself. When online shopping make sure the website is 100% real and trust worthy or this can lead you to getting scammed.

There are many online scams. These are the most popular and used ones I have found. Firstly is the fake antivirus software, this is a pop up that would show up on your laptop to say that your computer is infected. A lot of the time this is a scam unless the pop up matches the software you have on your laptop but before doing this you are always better to double check and be cautious! The second most common scam I found was fake shopping websites. There are a lot more websites than what you would think, these websites are noticeable by great deals and discounts up to 75% off. A good way to spot this is by searching up reviews on the website and look out for spelling mistakes. Lastly there is one of the most common scams and it’s called phishing. This can come in many forms such as emails, texts or other messaging apps. This is too attempt to get you to click on a link to steal information. A way to spot this is again misspelled words and poor grammar.

30 years ago there was a few of ways of communicating. Telephones being one of them. Not the ones you see today but ones that’s where on a stand and plugged in to the wall by a plug. Phones back then couldn’t do much so the majority of them could only make phone calls. Another way you could communicate was a phone booth, you would usually find these on the corner of the street with telephones inside. To use these it would cost money but only a couple pennies. You can still see phone booths today but there a lot more modern. In my opinion i think the older ones look nicer! Lastly another way to communicate 30 years ago was by writing letters, a way to do this was with a pen and paper or use a typewriter. You would simply just send it off to whoever name was on the envelope and wait to get a letter back.

15 years ago technology started to develop and give us new ways to communicate with eachother. All the old methods where still around like writing letters and phone booths but there was a big change with telephones and other ways you could communicate such as emails. Starting with phones you could now do other things such as texting people, you could also take photos and videos. You also didn’t to leave it plugged in all day. Most of the phones where flip phones, very different from now. The next thing was emailing, This was something you would do on a computer but needed the internet for it or it wouldn’t work. Emailing now is a lot faster than what it was back then.

Today we mostly communicate by social media. Social media is very popular with in a lot of people and gives us many ways to communicate with eachother. Phones have drastically improved over the years making it easier and faster to message someone. You can video call people which allows you to see them while talking on the phone. People still do send the odd letter but is very rarely seen as it’s kind of a thing of the past now. Because of all this you can now communicate with people from all other the world!

There is many different apps that we use to communicate. Here is a few, facebook, instagram, snapchat, twitter, messenger, whatsapp, tiktok and house party. All of these apps let you communicate with people whether it’s texting, video calling, phoning or even interacting with photos and pictures

You need a smart phone to access most of these apps, but sometimes you can use a computer. The way you can get these on your device is by downloading it on either app store or the play store.
