The golden triangle in online communication
Introduction to social and online media
The impact of online media on today’s society
Definition of social
The term social refers to a characteristic of living organisms as applied to populations of humans and other animals.
It always refers to the interaction of organisms with other organisms and to their collective co-existence, irrespective of whether they are aware of it or not, and irrespective of whether the interaction is voluntary or involuntary.
Morrison, Ken. Marx, Durkheim, Weber. Formations of modern social thought
Definition of social media
Social media has been broadly defined to refer to ‘the many relatively inexpensive and widely accessible electronic tools that enable anyone to publish and access information, collaborate on a common effort, or build relationships.’

I am a scientist at Delft University of Technology. I solve my problems using a MacGyver attitude. I build measurement devices using scavanged parts from consumer-electronics. I connect existing online data sources to answer relevant scientific questions. I encourage my students to learn by discovering, building and doing.

Self driving cars are the future of transport
Self driving cars are the future of transport
I believe self driving cars are the future of all transport in the whole world because people are the most dangerous aspect in driving today.
Eliminating the human factor will:
- Diminsish human casualties in traffic to nearing 0%
- Solve traffic jams because vehicles will interact and optimise supply and demand
- Optimise the “fuel” needed to move vehicles from A to B
- Minimise the travel time for every human and give insight in ETA (or: gauranteed time of arrival)
Search
Executing my expertise in the self driving car conversation
- Find and follow the experts on self driving vehicles
- Create columns in Twitter with a search query
- Engaging in relevant tweets that other people send out
- Create engaging content (tweets) around self driving
- Retweet with comments
