ONLINE MEDIA USE WEDNESDAY 29th MARCH
Spotify – Facebook – Instagram – P.T.V – Gmail
Gmail is more of a professional aspect of my online media usage. I own three Gmail accounts: one for personal use, one for my magazine and one for RMIT. The features make it easy to switch and check all three. On Wednesday I received two emails from RMIT about work experience opportunities but I received many on my personal account. From my Aunt asking if I wanted to see a talk with her at the gallery to Australia Post telling me that my skin care had been delivered, I received approximately seven on my main Gmail account and none on my magazine’s account.
Gmail is definitely a form of online media in which it is used for practicality and communication. There is a way to instant chat I believe however I have never used this feature and don’t know anyone who says,
“Hey let’s chat on Gmail messenger later tonight.”
It’s really used for professional communication or practical use such as sending tickets to people or for the University to contact me about internships. This Gmail account is also where I get sent pitches and enquiries about submitting to the magazine.
