In the past couple days, since creating my Feedly account I have been checking my feed for articles posted my subscribed websites. There are a few articles that have interested me, but there was one in particular that I found compelling. As an accounting student, I have an interest in business and finance and this article was on one of the most common finance questions, "How Do I Invest?". Of course there are many different ways to invest and each person has to find a way that fits their lifestyle and budget.
This article addresses the roadblocks of investing first, which is where most people get stuck because they feel that they can't invest because they don't have enough extra money or the willingness to put in time to make investments successful. The article addresses that any amount of investment adds up over the long-run and for people that are tight for money, creating a budget that isn't suffocating, but it should be crucial to not exceed the allowed amount. Another common deterrent for potential investors is that they aren't willing to spend the time or feel like they don't have enough time to invest. Putting in a couple hours a week into investing can help your finances grow exponentially in the future, so although it may seem like a lot of effort for not a lot of gain, investing is about putting in the time and being patient. From this article I found a couple of pieces of information that I will try to consider when I start to invest and also take the knowledge to my workplace.
RSS Feed Readers can be a contributor to building knowledge about digital literacy as it is another effective use of the internet for information. By using RSS Readers, it is a different way to navigate information on websites of the user's choice. Rather than having to regularly go through commonly visited sites or bookmarked sites, using an RSS Reader such as Feedly gathers and organizes recent posts on all subscribed websites and shows them all in one spot. RSS Feeds can also improve digital citizenship and responsibility by allowing users to subscribe to receive articles on various topics, which could include digital topics. In today's world, much of the mainstream news is related to the digital world and protecting user privacy so there would be many articles on improving responsibility and therefore citizenship. Overall, an RSS Reader can improve the efficiency of anyone's internet use and make it more user friendly. It is truly a great application and I would highly recommend looking into getting Feedly or some other equivalent program.
