http://www.ted.com While news from Iran streams to the world, Clay Shirky shows how Facebook, Twitter and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes to report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics.

the way we express are selves through these mediums is what is the true revolution.
the last story he spoke of strikes a cord on why Americas gov't isn't the best. We are not a Democracy but a Republic. This means that the people only have an influential say; we do not have the final say. If so many people were against FISA then in a true Democracy then that is what the States stand would be. However we are a Republic and the leaders we choose ultimatly have the final say on nearly everything
we have a 'democracy' in the uk (supposedly) , which can be ok for getting permission to put a shed in the garden,or dog shit bins in the local park,(even then,only if your lucky)..but it doesnt make the slightest bit of difference what the public thinks when it comes to the real big issues, like our part in the unprovoked attacks on iraq and afghanistan.
democracy or republic, i dont think it makes much difference these days tbh..same shit in a different box
