I keep changing my mind on if we can replace the Media with Social Media. SM is great way for people who are actually there, involved or knowledgeable to report what is going on. On the other hand its an echo chamber amplifying the most bat

I had a small class in engineering and was surprised at the exam time to see a few faces I hadn't seen all year. I assumed it must be people coming back to sit a second time or something. I'm so Naive.
