"The Arab Spring is more than a wave of political uprisings launched
in 2011. It’s an intergenerational shift whereby a new generation of
youth rejected regimes built by tyrants from a previous era. These
demographic and technological trends have actually accelerated since
2011. For example, surpassed the global connectivity average in 2014,
with 41 percent of all residents online.
Arab regimes remained stubbornly opposed to political change or
evolution, but they have no solution for the deeper societal changes at
work. The essential clash between an evolving society and static
political system still continues, and in some cases has intensified."
Stay tuned...
Internet Collective Action is people organizing in a nonhierarchical manner to accomplish a particular goal. The reward is in the doing, and how much or how little anyone participates is completely voluntary, depending on their abilities and commitment to the goal. By this process amazing things can be accomplished. ICA will grow so long as the Internet is free. http://www.lisamcpherson.org/pc.htm is an example of ICA.
