Over the past decade, the internet has dramatically impacted the way in which people "connect" to one another. More recently, the popularity of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter have added a totally new dimension to our perception of "community" and the way we socialize in the digital world. From message boards to smart phone apps to social bookmarking to instantly receiving a "Tweet" from a friend, the ways to interact seem almost endless.
Essay Question:
Do you think that the disabled community has been uniquely impacted by the digital media evolution? For example, are there
unique characteristics of social media that make it more/less accessible than traditional offline communities? How has your
life specifically been impacted by sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc? Are there any ways that social media needs to
adapt to address the unique needs of their disabled audiences?
Deadline for submission is July 31, 2010. If you have any questions please email collegescholarships@spinlife.com.
