Our team arrived in Baltimore early Friday, April 24. They filmed the first major march on iPhones
and sent raw clips immediately back to us in San Francisco using the real-time messaging service
Slack (one of the greatest tools at our disposal). It was shared with celebratory commentary: Love
this. Real talk. (Noting of course that media bashing the likes of FOX or CNN is an easy
win on social media).
On social media Wednesday, it was not Geraldo Rivera's reporting that went viral, but raw video a
reporter captured of a local man schooling Geraldo on FOX's reporting. The reason much of our
Baltimore content went viral had to do with these main factors: 1) Relevance; 2) Timing (immediate
delivery on social platforms); 3) Conforming to social norms/standards (the sharing audience
members raised their social profile by associating themselves with the content first); 4) Raw emotive
video. A review of literature in our study suggests ambiguous impact of use of technology in the
classroom on student achievement.
With high-end features, the top budget smartphones provide you a rich smartphone experience
within your budget! Thanks to the technological advancements, users can choose their pick from the
top budget smartphones too. Given that browsing social networks is more likely to be done on
smartphones, the fact that smartphone penetration is higher in these two countries may drive this
difference.
Men are also more likely to own a smartphone than women in four countries - Nigeria, Ghana,
Senegal and Uganda. For instance, in South Africa, 41% of 18- to 34-year-olds own a smartphone,
while only 27% of those 35 and older do. But there are age gaps in every country on smartphone
ownership.
And in South Africa, 57% with a secondary education or more own a smartphone versus 13% with
less education. By comparison, 64% in the United States owned a smartphone as of December 2014.
Smartphone ownership is less common in the other nations surveyed, and in Tanzania and Uganda it
is still in the single digits.
