APA Sources for Kickstart

Gottfried, J., & Park, E. (2025, November 20). Americans' Social Media Use 2025. Pew Research Center. Retrieved February 20, 2026, from https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2025/11/20/americans-social-media-use-2025/

This article from Pew Research seems like a very useful collection of information about social media use amongst

Americans in 2025. This can be easily used to influence choices from our group, as we can see what forms of media

are working, as well as what forms are not working anymore. An immediate example from this article is the fall off

of Twitter, now known as X, which is only receiving 21 percent of people who say they use it.


Health Benefits of Social Media Use in Adolescents and Young Adults. (2025, August 15). PMC. Retrieved February 20, 2026, from https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12356748/

This could be an extremely interesting article to pull from, especially when thinking about the broader effects

of social media. For the most part, articles talk about social media in a negative light, but this article actually delves

into the positives of social media. I think this could be very helpful for our conversation about social media, as a lot

of the time, it is much easier to find negative things to say about social media platforms than it is to find something

positive to say, and with it coming from the National Library of Medicine, it is a very reliable source, that goes

against the popular belief of social media.

KickBack - Sprint Review 1

KickBack - Sprint Review 1 My name is Kyle Ramser, and I am currently working as a 3D artist on the game KickBack. We just finished up our first sprint, which means I was able to finish some of the early models to be implemented into the game. So far, this production has been one of the most interesting for me personally, and the team I am working with is a bit larger than I am used to. The art style for this game is low-poly models with a very simplistic texture style, reminiscent of something like Risk of Rain 2 or Solar Ash. I have never worked on a project with this type of style before, so it has been a learning curve for me, and I am still trying to find helpful information for texturing in these kinds of games. So far, I think the models have turned out quite well, and I am definitely getting the hang of the art style as it has become more natural for me to create these lower-poly models. As for the work I have completed this sprint, like I said before, I completed several model...

The Future of the Music Industry

The Music Industry - The Future of Listening I truly believe that the entirety of music will be switching to streaming. With how quickly streaming has advanced, and how much music is now streamed compared to other sources, I believe that eventually everyone will be transferring to streaming for its ease of access and its improving audio quality. Even now, according to the IFPI Global Music Report, 69 percent of music listeners are using streaming services, which I think will only grow with time. Additionally, I believe that it is possible that at some point in the somewhat near future, cars will remove both AM and FM radio, and will adopt an Apple play style smart screen for all streaming. This is obviously not a guarantee as people have been upset at the removal of AM radio in cars, but with how popular and used music streaming has been, I feel as though Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming software will be built into cars. With how easy to use Apple and Android Car Play are, I f...
