1. I've discovered more uses for Twitter, and I've started using it a lot more often, especially to keep up with local news rather than only looking at national and popular news. Never thought I'd actively use it. 14.3 #GNED1411

Virtual reality has made a massive leap in technology within the last couple of years, and is really gaining traction. I wouldn't be surprised if at some point it becomes widely adopted in some sort of social media. 14.2 #GNED1411

People will become more aware of social media and the internet as years go by, and it'll become a main method of contacting people. 14.1 #GNED1411

I don't see social media benefiting the classroom. It's simply distracting, and the way social medias are built, promotes trailing off and going on endless holes of consuming media. 13.3 #GNED1411

If anything I'd like to see schools and educational facilities interacting with their students. The access to figure out what people want and would like to see in the future can help improve educational systems. 13.2 #GNED1411

I've used social media for an English assignment in high school, promoting the use of social media to be an online activist. I made a social media page promoting the environment and how important it is to preserve the Earth. 13.1 #GNED1411

Social media lets you find out what people think. It's at the public's fingertips, and allows quick contact. Social Media campaigns can have an effect if executed properly and are logical. 12.3 #GNED1411

PETA is a group that comes to mind when thinking of advocacy on social media. As ridiculous as some of their content is, it results in large amounts of people viewing them and allows people to think about things, even if extreme. 12.2 #GNED1411

[Jozef @JozefTDC]

As intense as how social media has integrated itself into our everyday lives, large social media movements will gain traction in the real world, and can result in real action for change. I've participated in a couple petitions, but I haven't been too interactive. 12.1 #GNED1411

Seeing Reading Rainbow come back was a wild feat, and thanks to Kickstarter it was possible. 11.2 #GNED1411

[Jozef @JozefTDC]

I often lurk social media and don't give too much input. I think I should though, because numbers make change, and it sounds like a good idea to get involved in things and try to sway things for the better. 11.1 #GNED1411

[Jozef @JozefTDC]

I think social media intensely affected the 2016 election. People were open to discussion and debate and were faced with many opinions. No one though Trump would win, and I think out of spite from people online, that allowed for him to win. 10.3 #GNED1411

[Jozef @JozefTDC]

While claiming to be a "Citizen 2.0" sounds a little narcissistic, I'd say I'm critical of traditional media and news outlets, because the internet allows for so many opinions to be seen and it's easy to be sceptic, even cynical. 10.2 #GNED1411

[Jozef @JozefTDC]

Having a candidate interact with me in some way would affect me greatly. This includes social media. I'd feel as if I'm a part of them and would want probably vote for them if they interacted positively. 10.1 #GNED1411

Crowdsourcing tools like snapchat allow for easy interaction with their consumers. During Christmas McDonalds had a campaign which promoted their McCafe coffee by using a SnapChat filter. 9.3 #GNED1411

Businesses might run contests or special offers to a limited amount of users, by utilizing the abilities of interacting with their consumers through social media. 9.2 #GNED1411

[Jozef @JozefTDC]

IKEA is a brand that I appreciate, and they're more "selective." They're not known for their social media posts, but respond to plenty of comments that critique, or even comment on whatever topic IKEA has posted. 9.1 #GNED1411

[Jozef @JozefTDC]

Social media allows more raw news and opinions, while we still have established news organizations taking that content and formatting it in a professional, viewer friendly manor. 8.3 #GNED1411

[Jozef @JozefTDC]

Newspapers and other traditional physical media will use QR codes for additional information, or other additions to the news presented on the physical media. This allows readers to feel more immersed with the content. 8.2 #GNED1411

[Jozef @JozefTDC]

I often use the internet and sometimes television to keep up to date with the news. Social media (primarily YouTube) allows me to see multiple angles of a story and allows me to have a balanced view when it comes to news stories. 8.1 #GNED1411
