Social Media and Contemporary Society

 

" So, the fine line to know and remember throughout this paper is that the Media is what is being posted and the network is where that media is being posted at, this does not have to be a social network like Facebook, it can also be online donation sites such as the popular "gofundme" site, or even blogs and the comment section of news articles as a couple examples. .
             According to an article written by Evan Leedy, the Fund administrator for James Robertson, "James Robertson, 56, of Detroit, walks toward Woodward Ave. in Detroit to catch his morning bus to Somerset Collection in Troy" "James walks 21 miles daily round trip to his job. Robertson's round-trip commute requires a bus ride each direction as well as nearly 21-miles of walking, consuming up to 22 hours of his day before beginning again throughout the workweek" in short, a man living in Michigan has to travel, by foot 21 miles to get to and from work after his car broke down 10 years ago, he has never missed a day of work in his life, even after his car broke down 10 years ago leaving him forced to walk for more than 8 hours one way, temperatures in the early mornings and late nights can drop dangerously low in Michigan, sometimes well below Zero degrees Fahrenheit, it is a safety and health concern to be out for that long in those temperatures. The public, no, the world decided that he needed a break. On a popular fundraising website called gofundme, in 4 days, nearly 12,000 complete strangers to Mr. Robertson have raised well over 300,000 for this gentleman that the majority of them have never met according to the page located on gofundme, and the fundraiser isn't over.
