New Tech in 2017
The idea for this topic would be to take a look at and gather every technology product that was released in the year of 2017. I would be able to categorize them into different subcategories for what their use is as well as how popular they are and how many people bought them and use them on a daily basis. I could also show the variations of price range. The data I would seek out would be looking at which companies released items and how many people purchased those and how many still use them. This topic is meaningful because there are many different new products that are released in the tech world each year and a way to combine them all and see which is still being used towards the end of the year would give a good idea of what will be popular and grow in the future.
YouTube’s 5 Year Change
This idea is one that I have been wanting to look into for a long time now. YouTube the website and social media platform has grown a huge amount since the first time I used it as a creator in 2009 to now in 2017. Going back five years from now would be at the very beginning of the huge incline of popularity for not only people watching videos but also people making their own videos and posting them to the website. The sub topics I would focus on would be growth in viewers, growth in content creators, and growth in audience. The types of data I would seek out for would be looking at how a creator would upload a video in 2012 and how fast it would get to a certain amount of views compared to 2017 (and the years leading up to it). I would also look for the amount of people who actually post videos to the website comparing the 5 years and see what kind of growth there was and how fast it changed. The topic is meaningful for the idea that the timeline from 2012 to now in 2017 was the start of something that is going to change the future and people’s lives for years to come. Taking this information and outputting it in a creative way would be a positive towards looking forward at what’s to come.
Social Media Websites
The idea for this would be to take a time period (probably the 5 year period i mentioned for the last one from 2012 to 2017) and see what kinds of social media websites were relevant and popular from year to year and see which ones grew and see which ones fizzled out and disappeared. The data I would look for would be looking at the traffic to popular websites and see how they grew or declined each year in the timeframe. Going off the traffic of the websites would get an idea as to where the sites peaked or started to grow. This is meaningful because there are many websites that were at one point a huge hit with many people that eventually went away and disappeared and taking that information would be a way for future social medias to see what went wrong in the past so they don’t make the same mistake in the future.
After writing the three of these topic descriptions, I really want to lean towards the YouTube idea because I feel like there is something there for me to get out of it. Since I know a lot about the topic, I feel like I would be able to create a more powerful project surrounding the idea.
