should be the next president is befuddling. People use Facebook and twitter just like it was stated in the
podcast, they use it to share their opinion but everyone, some more than most, are very very
opinionated. Because no one can fully understand what you mean through a computer arguments are
heated up and can make some friends loose their friendship. I have had several political conversations
with friends but we make sure that we keep it civil and calm so none of our friendships are ruined.
In the report that we had to read, it said that the amount of people who actually post political
stuff is relatively small. Less than 10% of the people asked said they post mostly about political
subjects. However in this 2012 election it seems that there has been more about the election on all social
networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. Just today I found a video parody of Gangnam
Style called Mitt Romney Style.
Election. And I agree with that. Ever time i log on to facebook there is either a joke about one of the
candidates or a post about their election. There are even ads on the side for one if not both of them.
In an article about the Social Media Election, they talk about how the Obama campaign is using digital
tools to reach voters at almost four times the rate of the Romney campaign.
The candidates are trying to get to the percent of the population that does not pay as much attention to politics as others do. I know I've seen more kids my own age pay more attention to this
election because it's everywhere on the internet. It's like you can't get away.
