Ball State University media guru and summit moderator Michelle Prieb sure knows how to get the attention of a blasé social media insider crowd. Call them freaks.
"As members of this
industry, you tend to be freaks of nature," she said while cuing up the social media and moms panel.
By freaks, she means that we are "hyper exposed" to the latest and greatest in digital
media.
The point of this panel, she said, is to "take a step back" and have a "reality check" about how real people -- in this case, some local Floridian moms -- actually use social media in
their lives. So far, based on the opening remarks, they spend a lot of time talking about their children's "poop."
No shit.
