Week 5 EOC - This is what has my interest

"Brexit causes younger audience to tune in to the radio."
This Twitter post had my interest because it speaks about Brexit, which is a recent shift in the European Union that has been in the news and on social media for a while. The fact that a younger audience that involves my age group has tuned in to a radio station that, for the most part, keeps people updated on this situation rather that listening to a general music station shows how serious it is. These days I hear older generations talking about how millennials do not care for politics from own experience but this news article completely disproves that statement.

“A controversial topic for many people. How Google/YouTube Is Killing the Music Industry”

For this particular twitter post, it caught my attention solely for the fact that it is a common practice that occurs no matter who you are. For school purposes, most students use YouTube to get videos and music for their projects without paying for them by using sites like YouTube-mp3.org to download the files. This is generally harmless and for a good purpose but other people who just wish to have free music and not having to rent movies, it is a disservice to the artists who have created them.

“Audio app lets different countries do commerce in a more convenient way - App facilitates North Korea-Chinese trade”

Now this Twitter post might seem strange as to why I included it in my blog but I will go into detail of why I did. I thought it was fascinating to see that a country ruled by a dictator would be so inclined to use an app that basically displays their countries market information to another country, the one being China. I do not know much about both countries but it is cool to see that there is an app that seems to work like a Facetime/instagram hybrid that only works to create trade agreements.
