Relationships, or Technology? Fall Series Explores the Impact of Social Media Can social media change the world? A fall two-part series hosted by the center, in partnership with the iSchool's Center for the Advanced Study of Communities and Information (CASCI) explored this topic. In the wake of Malcolm Gladwell's piece in The New Yorker, which challenged the assumption by so many social media 'experts' today that Twitter truly is driving a revolution, panelists offered their opinions. The consensus reached by the panel at the November 14 event was that relationships-not social media-are what cut through the clutter and encourage people to organize around issues they care about. But, social media is a way of building those relationships more easily today. Watch the video below for more highlights from the fall series.
