It Takes a Village to Find a Phone

Ivanna looses important information about her upcoming wedding after leaving her cell phone, which the information was stored on, in a New York City cab. Lucky for Ivanna she was able to retrieve this information from her phone provider which also transfered some new pictures that had been taken on Ivanna's camera phone. They were of Sasha, a girl who had found the phone in the cab and after being contacted by Ivanna and her friend Evan refuses to give the phone back. This leads to Evan blogging about the events and just keeping it updated as the story develops. The public responded and the story gained a lot of attention. Other social media sites were used to identify Sasha, and the popularity of the matter ended up getting the police involved, and Ivanna got her cell phone back. 

  1. The influence users can have on their followers either on a blog or twitter. 
  2. Social media sites are so interactive now that people are beginning to be able to form groups and fight for a purpose or cause that is important to them. Where as before it was much harder to communicate and organize anything.
  3. Some people's moral compass is so far off.
  4. Should police officers and investigations be determined based upon what is more popular among the public?
  5. Sasha and her family continue to threaten Evan and Ivanna through different social media platforms. Online bullying has become a real issue from younger children.
