Facebook & Twitter -- New trend of revolutionaries

From telegraph, tape recorder, and also fax machine had eventually lead to the evolution of the democracy through the Internet. The reason of why the democracy was starting with the social networking sites is because of the immediate aftermath. It's sharing by everyone but the truth is no one is knowing each others.

From the article titled "Facebook and Twitter are just places revolutionaries go" by Morozov.E let me understand that social networking nowadays are not only to sharing, connect but also making something happens such as the political changes happened at Tunisia and also Egyptian. Millions of Millions peoples are connected even though they are an unknown to the other person but they have the common bond which they communicate through social networking sites.

In this articles, Facebook and Twitter are the main focus that the both social networking tools are only served as technology tools or a platform that allowed people to perform their freedom of speech. However, in my opinions, this latest technology tools are not the reason that had made the starting of revolutionaries. People will try whatever methods to try what ever they can just to do and spread the news that they want to, doesn't it? Facebook and Twitter can't take the blame of putting the country in danger, but we can said that through the social networking sites, we can actually know that how the public are thinking about the issues nowadays and they are trying to make changes on the conditions to become better.

Even though Internet had become the main environment that we involved and contribute to in our daily life, but  we also have the face to face communication. We couldn't escape the real face communication. The Internet is just like the post office center that send, received and store the messages. However, comes to think about it, how high is the percentage of you to believe the event was actually going on as you have no ideas of what this random people in your Facebook friend's list or your twitter's follower post? It's just a random event conducted by random people. You will not believed that what was happening when you eventually contacted with the people behind the social media.

"We don't have a choice on whether we Do social media , the question is how well we DO it."

I found out this sentences was really implying on what are we doing now every day on our laptop. We don't really think much when coming to Internet. As what Internet can gives us was not only entertainment but also EXPOSURE. We go for Internet not only for fun but also for how people can notices us, isn't? How many times you will check on how many people expose to your blog, to your Facebook profile, to your Twitter follower, to your LinkedIn connection, your Google+ circles, MSN friends and others more.

The reason of why Facebook and Twitter are been chosen by revolutionaries are because the immediacy of the information but also the high numbers populations of people in this areas. There had a video showing that if Facebook was a country, it was the world 3rd largest or maybe it would be the 1st world largest country as times goes by. But there were also have the competitor at the same time. People loves new things, new trend. When people are bored with the same things, they will go for other new things. For example, when the people had been bored of using social networking sites, they may go the blogger, Wordpress, MySpace or others websites to seek for more entertainment and more purposes uses.

What's is interesting about using social networking sites as the revolution place is that the information are uncensored and it will shared globally or certain areas to access through the information.

In the nutshell, social media are not encouraged for the use in spreading the uprising as at the end everyone have to walk out from the virtual life and make the significant changes in the real life.
