What is a good research topic in a class that focuses on social media?

[schelly]

I am in a first year university class that focuses on social media and I need to find an interesting topic to do a research project on but I'm just not into the course at all and can't think of much. It can really be anything to do with media, technology, society, etc. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks

You could do topic about the recent SOPA act, or ileegal content on Social Media sites.

How social media changed communication.

Real conversations offline that are being replaced by chats


Online bullying

Well, you could try something global, like

"What is the value of social media or is it a big time-waster?"
