I found his comments about the Obama Presidential Campaign in 2008 to be quite fascinating. Jenkins states, &#8220;&#8230; the same impulse that leads kids today to put content up on their Facebook page&#8230; that desire to create and share what you create with others is really really powerful. Right now we are seeing that notion of participatory culture spill over politically.&#8221; Jenkins then goes on about how the Obama administration utilized social media people were able to connect, share, and like those posts. In the video &#8220;Obama Outpaces Romney in Social Media Campaign,&#8221; we see just how much of an advantage Obama took when using social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much like in our reading for today, &#8220;It Takes a Village to Find a Phone,&#8221; we see how well the internet can connect all of us and how it can be used as a tool. Whether it&#8217;s people banding together to recover stolen property, or if it&#8217;s people sharing their beliefs on a Presidential Candidate. the internet can connect us all if we utilize it correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Henry Jenkins Interview short\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SGVfJVde164?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Henry Jenkins on transmedia\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nk3pahtpsVY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Obama Outpaces Romney in Social Media Campaign\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RknwYl4YdEc?start=109&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to know where technology is going, see what people are doing now when it&#8217;s hard; when they&#8217;re struggling to achieve it, and then make it easier to achieve &#8211; Henry Jenkins Henry Jenkins brings up some interesting points about media and it&#8217;s usage amongst the population.
