Project Thoughts

1) What are the key questions for your project so far? What evidence do you have relating to these questions?

Key questions that I have for my project: What angle would I want to take to further discuss the issues about social media? Yes social media is a very vast and can be vague topic to discuss in general; however, I wanted to target how social media is useful and how people are incorporating social media into their daily lives.


2) What do you like most about your project so far? If you were explaining your project to someone, and you were conveying what you like about it and why you're interested, what really good examples would you use? (Try for at least three...) Why do you like these examples?

What I like about my project so far is that although it is a general topic, I have the ability to take any angle I want when discussing social media. I have decided to prove that social media is not a fad and that it social media's rapid growth has allowed us to improve on how we interact and communicate with each other in the United States as well as around the world, internationally. What I specifically liked was that I found video clippings of President Obama saying he doesn't know who Snooki is when he was interviewed. However because of social media, he does now and when passing the new tanning tax he made a comment about "Jersey Shore." This shows that social media can keep almost anyone connected with what is going on in the world at anytime.

3) What citeable evidence is associated with these examples? The examples may be citeable in themselves, i.e. they may be a video or a text, but they may also be a trend or practice. So, how would the examples appear in your bibliography? Start by drafting "a statement of use" for each example, based on the definition above.

I took most of my statistics from multiple websites when compiling information into my trailer. I also used inspiration to see how people are connected with social media in general by re-reading mine and my classmates Diigo Links that were posted on the group we have generated.

my main question would be (at this point): Am I in the right direction with my Trailer video and my overall project goals of wanting to prove social media isn't a fad.
