To prepare for the Discussion:
Consider the following:
Do you follow people on Twitter?
Do you tweet, use Pinterest, Facebook, or instant message your friends? How often?
Revisit the "Tweeting Towards Freedom" article in thisweek's Notes and Readings.
Consider if there a downside to have so much access? Identify an example of how new communication technologies have had an impact on the world stage and the impact it made
Consider how the immediacy of communication can impact the spread of information about world events-both good and bad.
