Home Page

Pheed is just like any other social media app full of pictures, and the ability to see whats going on in other peoples lives.Signing up for was simple you download the app and it links through your Facebook. After you have subscribed to you people that you find interesting this is what the home page looks like. It shows who posted what, the time, their thought, the content, who has liked it. Pheed allows you to comment on the content, like, dislike, or to share the Pheed that was posted.

Likes/Dislikes

Something that i really enjoyed about Pheed was the fact that you could listen to music on it and find out more about other artist. I also like the idea of different categories. Down fall to Pheed is, not alot of people are using it. The post to the right with the girl was under the category selfie and its been up for a couple of days and she was the 3rd Pheed down. Its not being updated fast enough. Overall I think that Pheed was an attempt to combine sound-cloud, instagram, twitter, tumblr, into one giant app. I think the idea is great but wasn't excuted well enough. The app doesn't run smoothly, and its very unorganized.

What I think could make it better

I think Pheed would be a better app if it was easier to like and dislike the content posted. If you could left swipe for dislike and right swipe for liking it would make surfing through content faster and more enjoyable. If you could actually have library of the content that you produced and post ti would make Pheed more organized, and user friendly. Currently everything gets pushed into your Pheed even if you are sharing something that someone else posted.

Conclusion

Overall I think the idea of Pheed is awesome, but the app should have gone through more testing before it was released. I probably won't keep my Pheed for much longer the content isn't being updated enough and its hard to manage content that I post. Sorry Pheed I wish you would have functioned better.

Is technology controlling us or are we in control?

I think that we are engulfed into technology. We have a hard time accepting the fact that electronics are controlling us. How often do you check your phone everyday? How do we communicate with your clients? Everyday we are using some sort of technology. The true question is how is it controlling our emotions? I see technology as something that helps my high pace life flow, allowing me to use a planner, email, etc. Technology should make our lives easier, it shouldn't be the deal breaker if we had a good day our not. For example: If you didn't get enough likes on Instagram that day who cares! These things cause us to become depressed if we are comparing our self to others. I have heard a statistic saying that Facebook is currently the number one cause of depression. Why? People are getting on Facebook and comparing their lives to there friends on Facebook and they think that life sucks! Everyone has a purpose in life! Everyone is important! Don't rely on technology so much to be the deal breaker of your day! Make everyday a great day!
