It took a little bit of time to get to the main point, which is Malcolm Gladwell was talking about the whole movement with the college students, and other such movements that created change in the world, especially in the 90's ect was able to happen without the internet. This movement was successful without being tweeted on Twitter, a status update on Facebook, or a short text or telephone call on a cellphone, but by word of mouth. We are getting so caught up in our new age way of communication that we are actually loosing touch with talking face to face. It also discusses that people will ue the new sense of communication through social networks for the bad. "Without Twitter the people of Iran would not have felt empowered and confident to stand up for freedom and democracy." That's highly unlikely. I'm sure they felt it before they got twitter updates and tweets from friends and other people who felt the same way. Government or no one person can stop the connection that feeds through the social networks and cellphone communication systems.
