Tweeted
I will summarize this article. Dont forget read and give your comment
Topic of this discussion is about internet revolution. Initially in 1960 there has been a protest
that began with four students of a black college a mile or so away who wants a cup of coffee
in a restaurant , but rejected because they are Negroes. the next day they do protest, which
every day adds to the number of people who do protest. At the time that did protest were
Negroes. But after six days of protests amount to 600 people, including white people. This
protest evolved into durham, winston salem, fayetteville, even after 1-12 days later, protests
across state on the surface and portsmouth hampton, virginia, south carolina and at the end of
the bull reaches chattanooya to texas. at the same time thousands of students were arrested,
while thousands were not caught them doing worse than before. it happened without e-mail,
twitter and facebook.
However, over time, when in 2009 ten thousand protesters took to the streets to protest
against the communist Moldova them using social media, creating social activism. at that
time there has been a revolution twitter. With Facebook and Twitter and the like, the
traditional relationship between political authority and the will of the people has been
reversed, making it easier for the powerless to collaborate, coordinate, and give voice to their
concerns. A few months after that, when student protests rocked Tehran, the State Department
took the unusual step of asking Twitter to delay scheduled maintenance of its Web site,
because the Administration did not want such a critical organizing tool out of service at the
height of the demonstration. "Without Twitter the people of Iran would not have felt
empowered and confident to stand up for freedom and democracy," Mark Pfeifle, a former
national security adviser, later wrote, asking Twitter to be nominated for the Nobel Peace
Prize. Where once defined by activist causes, they are now defined by their tools. Facebook
warriors go online to push for changes. "You are the best hope for us all," said James K.
Glassman, a former State Department official, senior crowd of cyber activists. Moldova
Twitter Revolution, Evgeny Morozov, a scholar at Stanford who has been the most persistent
of digital evangelism's critics, shows that Twitter has a few internal significance in Moldova,
a country where very few Twitter accounts exist. Also do not seem to have a revolution, not
least because the protests-as Anne Applebaum suggested in the Washington Post-may well
have been a little stagecraft cooked up by the government. (In a country paranoid about
Romanian revanchism, the protesters waving the Romanian flag over the Parliament
building.) In the case of Iran, meanwhile, the people tweeting about the demonstrations
almost all in the West. Simply put: No Twitter Revolution in Iran.

I agree that with Facebook and Twitter and the like, the traditional relationship between
political authority and the will of the people has been reversed, making it easier for the

powerless to collaborate, coordinate, and give voice to their concerns. however, we can know
when the user account to use social media as a revolution to the world of politics. at the
moment a lot of people who use social media just to introduce himself just to make it look
exist. slain it, there are many people who manipulate the data as a member of the social
media and it's hard to find the truth. therefore, we as a student, let's do the revolution through
the points that we have discussed in the past week :)
