@clairity98 Agreed, The one expert that mentioned 'mass media' seems equally terrifying, and exciting. #COMM1720

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

@PhelpsTheory I get that it seems far reaching, but I'm willing to bet there were skeptics that sang the same song about the introduction of the World Wide Web #COMM1720

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

The future of what we now call social media is a nebulous concept at best. However, with the exponential growth of information, it's most likely that the predictions of various social media experts will happen sooner than they anticipated. #COMM1720

@cptkr Dayummmm. #COMM1720 #Preach

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

@xhuang14 Maybe, maybe not. #COMM1720

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

Since students have trouble paying attention in class due to social media, using it in the classroom could engage students in a way that no other medium does. Social media usage, or "apps" could change to adapt to the ever-changing needs of students. #COMM1720

@kindrachuk0 I would even go so far as to say it adds a few layers to the industry. It provides a surprisingly complex experience. #COMM1720

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

@clairity98 The technology seems very capable to me. #COMM1720

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

Just like ebooks, virtual reality will appeal to only a portion of the market, while printed publications maintain their own readership. There's just something about the look, feel, and smell of a newspaper that even virtual reality can't replace. #COMM1720

@kendallbist Candy crush definitely messes with the flow of study #COMM1720

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

@clairity98 Right!? I get enough of that doing the one of my many assignments, like right now!#COMM1720

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

I think ebooks are strange. It's not quite a tablet, but also not quite a book. It seems to be stuck in a technological purgatory, doomed to a drab existence.There's an indefinable something about holding a printed copy of a book in my hands. It feels like magic. #COMM1720

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

@Pinksparks1980 What I just said but add #COMM1720

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

@Pinksparks1980 But isn't note taking detrimental to study? It's much easier to take notes with a pen, paper and textbook.

@JessieABach Privacy is valuable, but I'm afraid I don't understand the point you are trying to make.

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

@JessieABach Well I hope your call to action doesn't fall on deaf ears. Best of luck to you.

[GregBalanko-Dickson @gregbalanko]

@JessieABach This meaning war and a coup.
