The Power Behind Collaborating

So now that we are five days removed from Tuesday I can finally talk about the election. I wanted to wait to distance myself from my gut feeling and truly apply course content to what took place on Tuesday night. All I can say is wow. Online collaborating in recent years have definitely had an influence on the election and how information was passed on to the mass public. In this day in age having access to content online allows the collaboration of communities to take place and form connections of people with similar attitudes that can directly impacts voters this is not debatable.

The interesting part to me comes in the idea of getting the online pool of resources to mobilize feasible force to be felt. Etienne And Beverly Wenger--‐Trayner write an article called Communities of practice a brief introduction it states that A Community of practice is not merely a community of interest--‐--‐ people who like certain kinds of movies, for instance. Members Of a community of practice are practitioners. This means common practice are shared. To me however, it is clear that Trump was able to transcend the scope of online collaboration and push the collaborating forces into a movement that won him the election. By reaching rural America he was able to slip through the cracks of experience and become president by sheer promise. His practical group was large enough to buy into what he was selling and gain enough votes.
