Research Blog #3: How might Privatization connect to your topic?

Privatization connects to my topic of social media and technology very well. With privatization flourishing across the world, there is also a drastic increase in use of social networking and technology. Both elements are growing at a rapid pace, and the unusual sudden increase within the two ideas creates an great connection. For example,  in the article, "Higher Education and Privatization", the author describes how with the aid of technology, online courses can heavily increase privatization. "The portable college can offer courses and programs with a large potential enrollment, targeting students"(NEA). This quote shows that schools are now able to not only hire less faculty due to larger enrollment in these online classes. Overall, the development of privatization along with technology and social networking has increased the abilities of many different universities.
