Beta

For a brief overview of what I am doing with my digital artifact, I decided to make an instagram page to look at future technologies, and how they will affect the ways in which we live. I would not only showcase small future technologies like phones, but also cars, homes, stadiums, etc. I decided to use instagram to share the content, and look at reddit pages, other instagram accounts, and news articles to find relevant content to share on my page.

I am pretty happy with the progress so far, however I have run into some issues along the way, one being that since instagram removed the number of like from posts I have notived a significant drop off in likes, however the same amount of people are seeing the content on their feed, if not more than last semester. However I am happier with the types of content I am posting, as it has covered a greater range of topics, whilst still focusing on the future living aspect.

I also used a service on Fiverr, which was to help grow my follower numbers and user interaction, and I am very happy with the results. I gained almost 50 followers in the week my account was taken over, and the interaction on my posts also increased. I think this was a good tool to play around with, as there was a range of services that could be more of an assistance for the future of my DA.

Overall I am happy with the progress of my DA, however I need to continue to experiment with different form of content, aswell as different hashtag groups to encourage user interaction.
