From sun up to sun down on any given day you find me behind a screen. Healthy, I know **insert sarcasm here**! But what type of content is holding me hostage?

It's a little bit of everything. Recently, much of my attention is focused on classes, clients, and potential employers (HIRE ME). Still, there are four main apps used most daily including Safari, Youtube, Apple Podcast and Apple News; they are unique to one another, together they form an ecosystem of information. Many times they all present the same story. The packaging of information in auditory, visual, and grammatical viewpoints sets each apart.
You may have noticed no mention of social media. It's been a couple of years that I deactivated my personal accounts. That did wonders for my overall health, but it took away some tools in which marketers use to reach me. Data points from my social media accounts are not available. Im an outlier in today's digital environment, but marketers do not rely on one channel alone. My digital footprint extends far beyond the scope of social media. Footprint or not, it leaves me curious: how much of my digital diet correspond to others?
