Social Media to the Rescue!

New Media Project:
After careful consideration, I realized that I am interested in researching the positive effects of new media, specifically social media, on people who have psychological and physical disabilities. Social media is a phenomenon that most of us are exposed to and use on a daily basis. It is interesting to see how social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram change people's social lives, especially those who have disabilities that do not allow them to completely embrace the social aspect of their lives. Physical and psychological disabilities do differ in many different ways, but the idea that they have social impairments is similar in both cases. Furthermore, I have found scholarly articles, as well as many websites specifically created for those who are disabled, which will develop and support build my project along the way.
