I feel that microblogging is essential in the technological world we live in today. People communicate more thought multi-media than any other type of communication. I think being in a technological world has made things more convenient and easier. Parents are able to see what their kids are learning and doing in school because, of the new technology that is readily available. Athletes are also updated and more informed with the new technology available. However, there is a down side. NCAA rules are very strict about what can go up on athlete's personal Twitter, Facebook, and other multi-media webpages. While the new technology can enhance students and athletes it can also create problems for them. As long as athletes and students are representing themselves by modeling integrity; they should have no problems abiding by the strict protocol in the NCAA.
