Pardon the language, but the point made is quite comical. I stumbled upon this picture and in thinking of the rebuttal to my "social networks are bad!" claim in the last post, I thought it should be shared.This is precisely where social networks do not fail: in reaching a large audience and making information accessible. Though not much can actually be done once people are informed, being informed is the first step to having a successful social campaign. Without a large audience, the movement will suffer tremendously for there are strength in numbers. One small group cannot make a change as swiftly or effectively as a large group can. So, just to reiterate using a clever metaphor, using a social network is like making the batter to a cake. You have all you need, as in people are informed but you need to be able to take action and throw it in the oven to really make a cake.
I definitely love your comic that you provided here. It was very clever and a good switch up from a video or regular picture. I also love your anology to a cake. That's the problem for many projects today, we have all the materials needed, we just do not invest enough effort to make those materials work for us.

ReplyDeleteIt is ironic...because you would think with the new forms of technology it would be easier to become more involved. However, the technological advances have just allowed us to be lazy...
