12. “ Blogs let you jot down what you think, feel or know and, at the speed of light, publish it to the world. They now cover everything from quantum theory to politics to low- life celebrity gossip and intimate personal confessions. They can be vast publications written by teams of writers, or fragmented jottings from a student pad. They are the most successful, addictive, potent and radical application of all the new technologies and applications spawned by the personal computer”

23. You all are the future of your respective countries. You all are bright, energetic, enthusiastic young minds. There is so much you could do and achieve. The most important thing is to stay focused, and be creative. You are the change and key to a new/innovative/better world!
So lets watch a video that could make it a bit more clearer of what we have talked so far
So basically, new social media offers us the freedom to choose who we want to be.
Now, let us now look at some types of social media we mentioned earlier in this presentation. Lets start with BLOGS
Demonstrate how to add a youtube link to a blog post
In case you will be interested in forming up a blog, here are different blog sites where you could sign up for a blog
You might have heard of something called microblogging, and this is where Twitter comes in.
We are going to now watch completely different videos posted on YouTube, each with their own message, each with their own idea. YouTube is an amazing media tool used not only to share personal ideas, but also great tool for knowledge. One of the videos for instance shows how three total strangers came together for a project.
Each of these websites, offers a unique opportunity to look deeper than just personal profiles and pretty pictures. I will give you one example: when two of my friends Emin and Adnan- youth activists- were arrested for us Facebook became a platform to keep the world updated on what was going on in the country. while many of us use “share” button on Facebook ever so often to post a video or movie clip, we also use to share news, bad or good, interesting facts across the world and what not.
Of course, you may ask: why bother. Well here is an answer for you.
