I am finally done with my paper and video. I am going to upload it tomorrow to YouTube(which is very scary). I spent a good part of today preparing for my presentation, and I can’t wait until Friday. I’m nervous because I have trouble talking in front of large crowds and keeping what I plan to say in my head. Hopefully, with enough practice, all will go well.
My concern at this point is that I will present, and I will have missed a major point in my research. There seems to be new developments about my topic daily. I would hate to present the main points of my paper and learn from the audience that I did not cover a recent development. I hope that no one asks me how many followers I have, as I am not exactly popular on the Web site yet (I only have 6 or 7 followers).
Despite all my research, I still can’t say that I am a fan. Still, I do respect it more. Twitter is something that can be used is so many ways by so many different people. If this project was continuing into next quarter, I would have looked at the safety concerns revolving around the site. There is a television series set in the works, which would focus on people who follow celebrities. Ashton Kutcher, who is huge on the Twitter site, is against this because it could lead to stalking. Another interesting direction that this project could have gone in is how law enforcement is using Twitter to find criminals. How seriously should people be taking tweets? And does this infringe on a person’s right to speak freely? Those are just some things that I would go in to more if this project were continuing next quarter.
