So how would I use social media in the future? Well that's kind of a hard question, because I already am quite "extreme" user of it. I use many social medias and know quite well how to benefit them with different things. As I've said earlier, I handle our basketball club's homepage and updating it and also I'm the admin of our Facebook page. Also Instagram account for our club has been under a consideration for a while now and it might take place on this autumn.
For our homepage I've been updating very precisely every event, happening, practice and game and in addition also pictures, news, briefings and reports. I like to update it and want to see everything in order. It's kind of nice to know that visitors will see clean and interesting site and that it's easy to use and find different things. Pictures are probably the most wanted stuff and people always wait for them after events and games, I've heard both negative and positive feedback about them but mostly people think that it's nice to see what's going on events if they're not able to be on the spot.
Our Facebook page is quite new thing but I've been updating it also very frequently. There's also photos and information, everything almost same as in our homepage. Facebook is fast and easy way to update situation even during the game, so people at home will see the score also. Newest thing on our page is videos. We took part in this famous tournament in the end of July and one of our helping coaches was able to film clips from our games. They appeared to Facebook right after they were filmed so players families and friends were able to follow our games almost as live game. That was good idea and I heard really positive feedback about these videos. It might be a good idea to take these clips also in future games. Also I might add that thanks to technology, we were able to publish clips from two different places and games at the same time; one of us used Facebook's "live video" feature and second one filmed clips with a tablet and published them straight after filming.
Twitter is still quite new for me but I might use it also as a channel for our club. But I think that not so many of our players parents aren't really using it so benefits of this account might not be so good as they might be in some different country, like USA. Actually I think that these existing channels are more than enough for some parents and if I create the Instagram account, it would complete the "circle". I've described earlier how good Twitter could work and how we could use it, but I'm guessing that it would need some luck also to work in the way we planned.
When thinking about my future occupation I don't think that I could really use social medias at my work. I'm gonna be a registered nurse and due to privacy and security policies it might risk patient's medical reports and my career, if I tried to use social media in some ways. At least for now, but you never know how things will be in the future. I read an article about future doctors and nurses and if it will be true, there will be no actual human to human contact. Everything is handled and taken care of through computers or different machines and you don't even need to actually see the doctor, if you have some issues. You just sit on your computer and take care of your medical condition through the cables. Haha, well let's hope this will take many years before it comes true but when we know how fast everything has been evolving in the last couple years and new things being invented every day, it might be actual way of handling things after maybe (hopefully at least) 10-20 years.
I think this will be my last blog text and last part of the course, I thank everyone who's maybe been reading my thoughts and texts. It was nice to write something though at first I thought that I would be really bad at this and wouldn't have anything to say but once when started writing, it was kind of easy and thoughts just kept coming through my fingers. Also English is not my mother language, and you might notice it, but it was nice and also kind of easy to write in English. I liked it and I think that this improved my English writing skills as well. I also think that I learned some new things about social medias during this course and it's a good thing. So I'll finish this course now and THANK YOU for everybody. Especially big thanks for my group, with whom we did this quite big assignment. :)
Goodbye, farewell and maybe we'll bump into each other in the social medias someday.
// PS. About that new social media I tried in the beginning of this course, Snapchat... Well.. I'm hooked with it. I use it daily and think that it's almost a must-have application for everyone. Thanks, now I have one more application to open many times a day and keep up with it. I almost don't have time for Pokemon GO with all of these applications. ;)
