First, did anything surprise you in the article about social media trends from 2005 to 2015? Be specific as you share. Also, pick two points from one of the graphs in the article and form a y=mx+b model letting x be the number of years since 2005 and y be the percent. Then use your model to predict in what year the percent reaches 100%.3.) Respond to at least two of your colleagues throughout the module with at least 50 words each response. You may simply give your own thoughts on what they share, or you can ask them follow-up questions.4.) Feel free to respond to more colleagues if you like, or respond to responses. Also, answer any direct questions that are asked of you. Don’t feel like you have to respond to every comment directed to you, but if someone asks you a direct question then at least answer that. Overall, make sure to be respectful and professional.Rubric (Total of 20 Points)Initial Post Worth 10 Points (At Least 150 Words):7-10 points for the post being deep in substance and of the correct length4-6 points for the post being good yet needing improvement in substance and/or length1-3 points for the post being unprofessional, lacking in substance, or severely too short0 points for incompleteFirst Response Post Worth 5 Points (At Least 50 Words):4-5 points for the post being deep in substance and of the correct length2-3 points for the post being good yet needing improvement in substance and/or length1 point for the post being unprofessional, lacking in substance, or severely too short0 points for incompleteSecond Response Post Worth 5 Points (At Least 50 Words):4-5 points for the post being deep in substance and of the correct length2-3 points for the post being good yet needing improvement in substance and/or length1 point for the post being unprofessional, lacking in substance, or severely too short0 points for incomplete
