This weeks reading had a part in it that really stood out to me. The part that read, “The Internet is different now. There was no Twitter back then—at least not the Twitter we know now. There were comments that we took to heart, but it rarely felt like being under assault. Of course, that’s because not as many people could express themselves as they can now. Social media has been an amazing tool for giving so many people a voice, and I would never want to go back to the days when only those who got jobs at Jezebel had the mic” (8th Paragraph). Twitter has become one of the biggest news providers in the world and it is ran by us and has extremely powerful effects. What makes Twitter so powerful the short length bursts of thought. It forces a tone in messages and edits the existence of what is actually happening. Their effectiveness depends on how the audience receives the message. Using this power you can make massive amounts of people believe in what you believe or make them your biggest enemy honestly just by your diction.
