Advertising to Generation X - 0 views

  •  
    This article is interesting because it makes claims about Generation X (in between "us" and the Baby Boomers) as a generation...He claims that they appreciate freedom, stability, activity, and education. Why do we pick only a few things and try to categorize an entire generation by those standards?

Twitter, Facebook, and social activism : The New Yorker - 0 views

  •  
    An article addressing the ways protesting was done in the past (sit-ins, press involvement, etc) and how it has changed with social media (Twitter, ect). Essentially, Malcolm Gladwell argues that activism through social media does not have the strength that social change requires because the strategies are built around people who are weakly tied to others through social networks
  •  
    I liked this article because in the past people would protest with signs and today we can use social media and it gets a lot more people involoved. I think this is a postive side to social media.

The article discusses how people used to be and are now (people are living more solitary lives, gathering less, meeting less people, and feeling like they have no one to talk to). It also includes many statistics and examples to analyse the effects of Facebook on today's society.
