Catherine Forsythe at Lockergnome expresses her opinion on the use of Twitter by Iranian people to organize theirself against government (full story at http://www.lockergnome.com/forsythe/2009/06/17/the-courage-of-typing-140-characters).
What follows is my comment:
“
I think that we are experiencing one of the biggest breakthrough in citizen behaviour.
Iranian people are demonstrating what citizen can do with, I agree with you Catherine, a lot of courage and an innovative tool.
On the other side we are seeing a big technologicalĀ shift, that as I said many times, reminds those offered by SMS and cell phones some years ago.
In last years we’ve seen worldwide a lot of political and social changes happen, but quite all of them where supported only by “old styled technology” (and also in this cases by a lot of courage). Could be this the first big change driven by heart and the net?”
