Search Engine:
The title of my search engine would be called CreateIY which would mean create it yourself. This search engine would lets users who make an account use all the resources the account provides and give users the chance to search up and upload different projects, recipes, and home decor ideas to the site and also gives them the chance to try others peoples creations. The search engine would also use your location and connect you to other CreateIY-ers that live in your area. To ensure users safety, we would use a software that will make sure that real users with good intentions are using the site. One thing that will make this site even more unique is giving users the option to create their own page and eventually their own website to further show off their unique creations.

I believe for the most part that the tools of digital media is responsible for expanding out knowledge because it is key to our everyday life where we use if for pretty much anything. Our digital tools are responsible for keeping us on track and prepared for the day and as time goes on, it becomes more and more beneficial to our lives. But there comes a point to where it can even be close to ruining ones life forever. One example where we see digital media ruining lives comes from the New York Times article where a woman named Stacy Snyder’s life came crashing down after she was denied her teaching degree days before her graduation due to old pictures that appeared on her social media page. These photos which had nothing to do with her career and honestly didn’t give her a “bad look” since its normal to go out for drinks caused damage to her career that could not be fixed. Overall, the main idea I took from this article was its bet to be careful and not post everything on social media because nothing is ever deleted from there. I do still believe that digital media tools do help us a lot with our daily lives and keeps us entertained aside from the fact that it can also cause short attention spans unfortunately.
