You Need Some Activator

Post #7 - Summary and Response to "Small Change by Malcolm Gladwell."



 (ACTIVATOR has nothing to do with this blog, but I thought it was clever.)
(And I am aware my video has nothing to do with the subject, 
but I am going to add it for entertainment purposes.)

Giant protests can be done without the use of social networking websites such as Facebook or Twitter. You can arrange a sit-in without ever saying anything about it on the Internet. Half of your schools' students could hear about a protest by word-of-mouth without ever looking at a computer screen. But you can arrange even bigger ones simply  by posting an event on Facebook. Cyber activism at its best.


I agree with what Malcolm had to say completely. Social networking websites have allowed us to evolve to creating massive protests, sit-ins and even flash mobs by simply Tweeting it or creating a Facebook event page and asking all your friends to attend. This is the future, this is now. This social networking evolution has already begun and it wont be long before everyone is a part of it.
