How social media can make history - Clay Shirky

While news from Iran streams to the world, Clay Shirky shows how Facebook, Twitter, and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics.

Talk by Clay Shirky.

This speaks directly towards teaching. Students are now producers in addition to consumers. You cannot be the all knowing talking head in front of the lecture hall. There is such potential for collaborative and engaging learning with these new media. We are in a revolutionary time for sure, who will embrace it and move education forward? Who will disregard and get left in the digital dust?

Social media will not only change history but even the way future generations will understand situations. Although even pictures and video footage can't fully tell situations, we'll have much more information to attest events and situations. Such will hopefully create many more opportunities for population dialogue, people to look back and learn more from past events, more exposure of personal narratives of events, and more consumer watchdog groups which take multiple attestations. These trends I positively believe will lead to more opportunities for education and empathy globally.

*How Social Media can make history* (around 16 mins)
An excellent  #TED talk on the role of social media in our lives and how it is giving people a voice like never before. The key for businesses, and politicians, will be listening to what is said and replying appropriately. #plusyourlife

Heidegger's point in phenomenology is that a postmodern society has pernicious patterns of efficiency. To humans, the pattern seekers we are, structure and strata in society tend to breakdown the our sense of personal identity in favor of patterns rather than individual persona. This seems especially true in our postmodern and post industrial society, where patterns within society mean more and govern our lives more than ever. As power flows into fewer hands are we are governed ubiquitously.

I can't believe it that I am now interested in these kind of videos. I feel old already.

(Was referring to pre-soviet Russia previously) Post Soviet Russia also was over thrown when the government stopped oppressing its people and gave them freedom of speech. America did not do anything significant to dismantle it, Gorbachev gave its people the right to unionize, then to vote, and once the power was to the people they all expressed their total hatred for the government and overthrew it for the decades of forced ignorance, poverty, and abuse. China has plenty of all three of those.

what's up everyone? my homework brought me here HAHAHAHA

in generations past, the difference between moral/ethical professional reporting and amateur reporting was fact checking. Professional reporters should vet sources, it should go without saying that it is the responsibility of reporters to get their facts right. There is no such impetus in amateur reporting to be correct.

P3: Its not authoritarianism in my opinion because the government is not one person it is a group of people and people vote for them people to censor the internet. They are not dictators. If what you said was true then every country is authoritarianism. And all parents are too as they don't let children do what they want. But some may argue that anyone who rules over anyone and tells them what to do is authoritarianism, but Chinese can dress how they want & mostly are free to do what they want.

Hello PSU

[gushernandez]

And YouTube is probably the best example of all these chagnes! YouTube is all about all the medias and mediums joining as one. Facebook is where you contact friends. Twitter is about sharing your ideas, quotes, feeling, and events. Just like anybody can read my comments and respond to them.
