About My Term Research Paper

For my paper, I discussed about social networking and its various uses. This topic interested me because Facebook and Twitter are popular now and interests me. I determined whether they had a positive or negative impact. The research I did focused on the uses of these sites. I also included readings we were assigned and other sources. I learned that social networking sites are useful in that they help you communicate with others and help you market products. But, these sites are easily hackable and can be used for evil.

With these findings, I hope new media is used in the class more often. The idea of using Twitter in class would be cool. A constant stream of tweets would be helpful to gain insights on the topic. I've been to conferences with tens of thousands of people and usually they ask a question and ask everyone to comment. It's cool to see your comment next to your Twitter profile picture. It makes you feel like you're important.
