Chain Reactions and Links: A phenomenon where one event continuously influences subsequent events, connected by a common link. For example, when the central bank raises the base rate, interest rates at private banks increase, which raises the cost of loans for citizens and leads to higher prices. Interest from central banks, interest from private banks, interest on loans from citizens, and increased production costs are all interconnected, so a change in one part affects the entire system. This is a chain reaction. A decline in one area can cause missed revenue opportunities because everything is connected. The link creates this connection. In the example above, the link is the act of borrowing money, which is essentially a loan. To stop the chain reaction, you must identify and break the link in the chain. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Previously, the medium held exclusive power over the message, making its truth unquestionable. Now, with digital technology enabling individual media creation, anyone can craft a message. Essentially, messages have transformed into their own mediums. When you produce a shareable message, you effectively become a medium yourself. However, the significance of sending messages is often overlooked. The perceived value of a message shifts dramatically when people trust the messenger’s identity. Therefore, to manage Instagram effectively, prioritize establishing a credible identity and consistently sharing valuable content. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
