The article written by Anthony A. Olorunnisola and Brandie L.Martin provides readers with an overview of the effect Facebook, Twitter, and many other social networking sites impact on our lives. Specifically, the authors have conducted studies in African countries like Egypt, and Tunisia, only to conclude that social media has taken control. They compare former uprisings in South Africa (Soweto uprising 1976) to Egypt’s recent uprising (Social movement against President Mabarak 2011). Stating that anyone can make a statement, it is not necessary to post a status about it, however, it does help get the word across. This article provides the pros and cons of social media in a very intellectual manner.

The authors provide us with information about social media and how it is limiting the importance of traditional media (newspapers, radio, and TV). The authors also give us a look into the fact that social media is everywhere and it is impacting worldwide issues. This article provides readers with knowledge about social media in countries like Egypt, Tunisia, and many others, as well as an overview of the impact it has over the lives of people worldwide.

This source provides an insight of how influential social media has become. This source also provided a quote that will help support my argument, in my essay. This article gives readers a reality check on how much of an impact social media plays in our daily lives. Overall, this source deems reliable because it is relatable to the audience and can very well be used during group discussion. This article will also help to enhance my essay with different viewpoints as well as expanding on the topic as a whole.
