We will be meeting in-person in the Enid Dearing Room at Parkgate Library, with a hybrid option available for those who wish to participate via Zoom. Please contact myhillm@nvdpl.ca if you have any questions about this.
Social media and online communication dominate our daily lives in an unprecedented manner. Wireless connectivity, mobile devices and wearable technologies mean that social media is always on, always part of everyday life for billions of people across the world.
While the term 'social media' is barely a decade old, the story of how people started using the internet in a social manner is a much longer and more interesting one. This course will increase learners' understanding of social media by looking at the ways networked connectivity let users become 'social', how this was amplified with the emergence of the web, and how social media became the default mode of the mobile web we use today.
