This video discusses the role of social media in the Arab spring. The social media in Arab Spring can be described as wildly disruptive. I think that this video is a good example of the power invalid in the social media and how it can change the world-slowly but surely. There is a problem though, even though social media expands the acknowledgment of events, they only act as accelerants. Social media is just igniting the fire in the revolution.
