Abstract:
This year, people from the Triangle got their fifteen seconds of social media fame. One of the most delightful viral videos was a clip of six-year-old Raleigh native Johanna Colon dancing to Aretha Franklin’s song Respect. Other viral videos were of a plane breakup, swim team stuck at Raleigh-Durham Airport, Durham Academy a cappella group XIV Hours, and the Muslim student murders near Chapel Hill.
