This past week marked the 1 year mark to the next
presidential elections. Exactly one year from now, the greatest country on the
planet will have a new leader. This next 365 some odd days will fly by,
especially for the potential candidates.
With everything happening so quickly in the election
process, Twitter is in full swing. The thousands of different media outlets are
keeping everyone up to date on the debates, latest polls, and election
campaigns. For people like me who work a good bit of weekday evenings, it is
hard to keep up with debates. It is, however, easy to follow along with what is
being said on social media. CNN might tweet out a quote that Trump said, or a
video clip of Hilary Clinton talking about an important subject. I can now be
"in the loop" so to speak, on what is going on during key election
events.
This was not possible, 10, 15, 20 years ago. Twitter was not
around to be able to follow along when you cannot be glued to the television on
debate nights. This has revolutionized how Americans follow along. Way back
when, if someone missed a debate, they might catch the highlights the next day
during the news broadcast, or driving to work
and hearing it on the radio. Or even reading the newspaper and seeing
others interpretations of the debates. This is not the case anymore. We live in
a right now society and everything is so fast pace.
Social media has evolved so much over the years and has
played a major role in keeping people up to date on current events, and
elections as well.
