Do you think there are examples in history where without the aid of social media change would never have happened? Some may say that using social media as the primary tool to produce social change merely brings an issue to the attention of many people but never motivates them enough to actually do something (Kony — The Invisible Children 2012) and that real social change can only occur because of close ties between people who share them with conviction. Do you agree or disagree?
I currently believe that social media is a catalyst to social change, because any way people can connect more than before should speed up the process to actually having an effect. Though, isn't it possible to be connected to too many people before they can be organized there-by creating noise? Per haps presenting ideas to the masses this way creates noise but reaches more people who will become active than any other method. What do you think?
