The social media is allowing diaspora to connect in ways they couldn't before. This has only accelerated the trend started by other technologies like cheaper jet travel, cable television etc
This session will discuss:
- social media's effect on identity and connection
- you are what you want to be, if you speak X's language and participate in X's community online, can you be part of X even if you don't live in X land? i think the answer is YES, always been yes and social media just makes it even more yes
I find this interesting and definitely want to come to this one. I agree that participation is (potentially) more global now than ever, but I worry about the implications of claiming to be a part of X even if you don't live in X, with X being any given community. Should be interesting!
