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 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 pro’s and
con’s 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 world wide 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 provided me with
knowledge I had not previously obtained about social media. I had no idea how
far stretched the popularity of social media had gone. This source also
provided me with a quote that will help support my argument, in an essay. This
article gives readers a reality check on how much of an impact social media
plays in our daily lives.
Your annotated bibliography was well written. You included the citation and a summary on the information. The only thing that was hard to identify was you stating how the source was reliable. Also you didn't state how you will be using this information towards your paper. Other than that this source should be useful to your paper because it provides a lot of information.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good example of an annotated citation. You give a good summary of the article and explain why it relates to you. You say how you learned new things and the impact it has on society.
