Week 4 EOC: A New App

Week 4 EOC: A New App


Say hello to the new way of “blocking” on social media. Last week you and you’re boyfriend broke up, and it didn’t end well or maybe you and your best friend made the decision to part ways on not the most positive terms. You don’t want to see them again because you know the kind of effect it will have on you and your well-being. It’s common for people to have a really hard time moving on from someone, especially with social media making them so easy to see and find. You can’t get on your phone or your favorite websites without stumbling upon some bad memories, but what if you could? What if we had an app on our phone that could lead us away from the bad memories and terrible pictures you took together. An app that can prevent stalkers or other internet menaces or “trollers”. A possible way to just get yourself as far away as you can from those annoying, repetitive accounts you see posting the same bulls*** on twitter every single day. I’m talking about an app that will help you steer clear from what you don’t want to see, and help keep those that you don’t want from seeing you. This app could be programmed into several different devices, and work along with many other apps. I think a good name for the app would be “Cutem’off”. After the app is downloaded to your phone it will link itself to all of your social media profiles, then from some interface within the app you can share the name of the person you don’t want to see and choose between whether they can see you, you can see them, or both. After your selection is chosen the app will search back as far in time as it can though your profile and remove all and any trace of existence of that person in the past and prevent all future posts. Say good bye to “blocking” and simply just cut them off.
