Hi I’m Kelsey Hamilton and I am in my fourth year at UVIC. I’m doing a major in sociology with a minor in professional writing, which is what lead me to TS 400. TS 400 is offered this semester, works with my schedule, and completes my minor in journalism. I am not necessarily a tech-savvy person, but I am realizing it is becoming pertinent to almost any profession, not only writing.

I have always had an interest in social media, how quickly it has grown, and how quickly we have lost interest in privacy. I am also interested in, as a journalist, the varying degrees of information available through technology but also hidden by technology.

In another class, a student discussed an article she read of a new app, similar to snap chat, aimed at professionals who do not want a record of their communication or documents between one another to exist. Here’s the article if you’re interested.
