Recently,the world has seen a lot of protests, riots and
demonstration by a lot of young people who feel that they have been
cheated in one way or the other by governments in the country they come
from some resulted in acts of violence as a result of these
developments. As we see on television and listen on the radio about the
protests of young people, we come across a large turn-out at these
protests and you could ask yourself what kind of media do organizers use
to mobilize the youth because traditional media (television,radio and
bill board advertising) might be too expensive to use but one thing that
comes to mind is social media mainly Facebook,Twitter,Voices of Youth
or YouTube, in some places Blackberry messaging. Some call it "the
social media revolution."
Social media offers platforms that every one can use freely, it gives
young people the opportunity to share information among themselves in
any way very easily and the level of interaction is very high because
your contacts to which your message is been carried is always online (at
the computer or via cellphone). In the moment when when you send a
message, the person on the other side receives it and the conversation
goes on. In the old days when events happened at one place, it would take a while
before people at another would find about them but now through social
media, events and news are known worldwide in split seconds after they
are shared and this has made the world one.Take a look at the events in
the Arab world and recently England. Information among young people to
mobilise themselves was the work of social media and even the whole
world got to know about events in those places. Besides the political
dimension, social media is also a way to find friends and find out about
people that you have not met for a long time.
