Joseph's "Just My Thoughts"

It doesn’t exist until it’s connected. In the era of widespread use of social media , everyone has a voice, but that voice does not always have a social repercussion . An unaffected voice becomes a monologue . Why am I sharing my voice and my message with the world, other than to shout for self-satisfaction ? Now more than ever, we live in an age where individuals feel a greater sense of alienation if they are not connected to the community or the media. ‘ Connection ’ has become a very important issue, and the current generation often wonders about how to connect and what the right connection is. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Previously, the medium held exclusive power over the message, making its truth unquestionable.  Now, with digital technology enabling individual media creation, anyone can craft a message.  Essentially, messages have transformed into their own mediums.  When you produce a shareable message, you effectively become a medium yourself.  However, the significance of sending messages is often overlooked.  The perceived value of a message shifts dramatically when people trust the messenger’s identity.  Therefore, to manage Instagram effectively, prioritize establishing a credible identity and consistently sharing valuable content. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

In the future, those who effectively manage the “signifiant” as opposed to the “signifié” will prevail. For instance, if you post food content on Instagram, viewers are not interested in every single menu item. Such details can be found anywhere. Even a self-boarded student prepares and enjoys their meals. If the food represents the “signifié,” then the arrangement of the food itself is the “signifiant.” What users engage with on Instagram is not merely the food but rather the presentation that signifies it. Without a message that stands out, your Instagram is likely to get lost among countless other posts. Remember, the medium is the message, and the message is the medium. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
