  1. What does Wael Ghonim say are the “five critical challenges facing today’s social media”?   The five critical challenges facing today’s social media he mentioned was Rumors, how we create our own echo chamber , how communication can turn to a insult, offence,and etc. Also how it became hard to change opinions online and how the Internet provides shallow conversations.
  2. What are some suggestions Wael Ghonim tells his audience for how we can “liberate the Internet”? He makes some suggestions but here are four suggestions he made. He said,"But what if we put more focus on quality?" "Couldn't we just give people more incentives to engage in conversations, rater than just broadcasting options all the time? Or reward people for reading and responding to view that they disagree with?" "What if we have a matrix that says how many people changed their minds, and that becomes part of our social media experience?" "We don't claim to have the answers, but we started experimenting with different discussions about very divisive issues, such as race, gun control, the refugee debates, relationship between Islam and terrorism. These are conversations that matter.
