This Mike Wesch Keynote Speech Explores Social Media Use
Sarah Moore — May 2, 2012 — Keynote Trends
Social media is designated as being a cultural and communicative game changer in this Mike Wesch keynote speech.
Websites such as YouTube and Facebook have drastically altered the social landscape and the Kansas State University professor explores the fundamental ways that these online communication services are impacting society. He also delves into why these changes are so important and how they impact not only the way that people interact with one another but how these Internet networks are changing the human race in its entirety.
He cites that media of any kind acts as the gatekeeper of communication in that it mediates who can speak, what they can or cannot say and who that message can reach.
Social networks are a revolutionary entity in the realm of interactive communication, according to the speaker, and the ability that they have to turn individual activity into collective action is a extremely powerful resource to be further explored.
