“Because somebody grows up being a social media native, it doesn’t make them an expert in using social media at work, that’s like saying, ‘I grew up with a fax machine, so that makes me an expert in business.’”

William Ward, professor of social media at Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of

Public Communications

What do I do?

SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT NEW

Tweeting the ninety-five thesis

The way in which we

get our point across

concept or necessity

of information

distribution.

“In plain English, I'm asking [the FCC] to

recognize that for most Americans, the

internet has become an essential part of

everyday communication and everyday life.”

- President Obama, November 11th 2014
