Weekly NDM

How should we deal with death in the social media age?









This article is about a family who had recieved messages from their late grandmother saying “I’m watching over you, you’ll get through this, you’ll be all right.” although they had burried her mobile phone with her. it discusses how social network is used for grieving and how people for instance post up news of deaths before the next of kin can even be informed.

I think this article is interesting as it shows how much social media is used in a variety of ways; and that it is a platform for news and it spreads the word.
