a.BACKGROUND OF TWITTER
- TWITTER was found in the year of 2006 in the month of MARCH by Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams and Biz Stone. TWITTER was developed mostly because of jack Dorsey whereby, he as a software developer that develpos software for courier sevices noticed how different businesses used the software and how the headquaters of the business keep in track with their delivery vehicles. Essentially, the workers were just reporting back to their employers what were they up to at that time.Therefore, using the elements, Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams and Biz Stone came up with the idea of TWITTER, where all you do is just update everyone of what you're doing at the moment. The way TWITTER works simple. once you have signed up, yoor account is created and you can start posting tweets to your friends or followers, as said in TWITTER.

c. ARTICLES/ NEWS/ ON THE MEDIA PLATFORM CHOSEN IN REGARDS TO THE TOPIC.
- There were no articles or news specifically on the topic i have chosen, but there were similar news on the topic. According to the Viet Nam News, they have focused on the negative effects of TWITTER, whereby, they loose the need of face-to-face interaction. According to the writer, Daniel Kelleher, as he wrote in the Information Special Management Reports publication, ,he wrote that those with the access to the internet, also has the access to one or more social networks. He also added that with the access to the internet, they tend to share pictures, vidoes, and in this case, on TWITTER, they share all their activities.
d. OWN AALYSIS of the MEDIUM and ITS IMPACT BASED ON THE TOPIC CHOSEN.
- TWITTER is a great way to keep in track with your freinds' activities, as well as for your friends to keep in track of yours. Furthermore, it is very helpful when it comes to quick mesage to one another. in addition, it is defnitely affordable and time saving. The impact that it has towards the students of DMC is that TWITTER has become one of their everyday activity. As far as i've seen, they tend to tweet almost everything that they are up to. For example, a friend of mine, she tweets before she goes to take her bath. Some would say that is not neccessary and some say it is. I would say its necessary because, if i was going to give her a call and i saw that tweet of hers', therefore, i know that is not the right time to calll her. Furthermore, TWITTER is helpful academic wise among the students of DMC. This is proven when i asked my friend, she gave me a simple example. She had her classmate to inform her about her class being cancelled via TWITTER. Therefore, TWITTER can be said as helpful academic wise for teh students of DMC. Although TWITTER can be said as helpful, it also has its negative side, which is students of DMC tend to be anti-social. They go to an extend whre they dont even realise the presence of other friends in front of them.
