Technology and empowerment

If I have to choose a piece of technology as my favourite I pick the cellphone. I think it´s one of the most useful electronic devices and a lot of people can handle it, and if you add Internet, you have the oportunity to viralize whatever you want in seconds. I think this is the biggest change in the last 20 years and it helps to expand a lot of information from many places that before this change, maybe, you don´t even knew about.

I believe that in this days this technology helps to viralize campaings faster and, with this, the message reaches more people and the organizators gets more attention in less time. Only with a cellphone and Internet you can start a protest -of course later you need to get the autorization of the autorities and that kind of things-.

Finally, as a conclusion, the social media ante the Internet are a big help to the organization of social protests, but, at the same time, if are used in a wrong way it can obstruct the the original ideas of the organizators.
