Ahh, Twitter. The advent and progression of Twitter, and social media as a whole, has certainly changed the course of sociology, specifically how humans receive and process information. Hockey fans, for instance, would have had to take a sick day to stay tuned to NHL Network (I actually was sick and still don’t recommend this) during the trade deadline on Monday to find that their favorite Hayes was traded. Instead, all we had to do was follow Bob or Darren or Elliotte on Twitter to see which conditional pick we were getting for whom.
But shockingly, we’re not going to discuss the pros and cons – of each, there are many – of social media here.
