Kuttainen
(2013) states I week eights lecture that a billion people worldwide do not have
clean drinking water yet we waste millions dollars trying to clean up the pollution
from plastic bottled water. Many campaigns have launched as well as many
Facebook pages such as Keep Australia
beautiful that promotes cleaning up pollution and stopping it altogether, but there is only
so much one person can do when they are so low on the food chain of society.
Facebook can be thought as
of an ecosystem of the internet savy and in every ecosystem there is a food
chain. As Buchanan states ecologists who think about food webs do not always
have in mind how the lion hunts down the wilderbeast just the end result(2002).the
same can be said for some studying the food chain of Facebook they see the end
results about how popular someone is by how many friends they have but they don’t
necessarily think about how they got that many friends.
