Q1: How do noteable individuals use social media?
In my opinion, celebrities use social media to keep them close to the public. By posting videos or photos, celebrities can also get opinions from their viewers and even attract more viewers through these to keep them popular.
Q2:What are the benefits of being in the public eye and having a PLN?
In my opinion, there are many benefits to being in the public eye because you will have more scope to connect with and influence others. For example, you have a much larger network in the public eye, so more people are likely to see your content and reach out, providing more avenues for information exchange. By putting more effort into maintaining your PLN, you can also gain more attention and access to more people.
Q3:Building a community with online tools provided by the employer can be limiting, what are the perceived restrictions and benefits?
The social network created through employer-provided online tools will be focused on work, so its limitations will be obvious. This social platform will not give people more opportunities to exchange information freely, which is not conducive to building a free and diverse social network. But it is also, therefore, more suitable for people to focus on a certain task.
Q4:Media literacy and its importance.
What difference us from normal people and media literate people? In my point of view, media literate people need to have the ability to sense the social media, how is it composed, and what will effect the social media. To better understand the various media expression, and thus nurture the self-expression, this is the basic of media literacy. The importance of media literacy is obvious, by improving the media literacy, people can thus improve their ability of critical thinking and the ability to analyze and filter various type of information.
Q5: Why should you aim for varied views but a real consensus in your PLN?
By building your own PLN, you need to broaden your view to different aspects of issue. Aiming varied views can train your ability of critical thinking and thus improve your media literacy. By accepting different views and finally consensus in your PLN, you can make your PLN inclusive and have a better understanding to the internet.

I really like your saying “People need to broaden their horizons and see different sides of an issue. Seeking different perspectives trains our critical thinking skills and thus improves media literacy.” So, we need to seek out other people’s perspectives and add From the point of view of our personal life experience, this will broaden our special interpretation and look at things more carefully.
