A number of countries recently
experienced protest organized by citizens that were in
pursuit of accountability and openness from government. It
was witnessed that social media played a highly important
role in those events; among others, continuously providing
updated information, establishing human networks, forming
opinions, mobilizing people, and taking concerted action. Of
course, social media is not the sole reason that made the
events happen. However, it can be at least said that the
general public were encouraged to move into the actions for
their enhanced well-being. From a broader perspective, those
occurrences also showcase that information and
communications technologies (ICT's) can help enhance
social development among people. This short note seeks to
develop analysis on the role of social media in social
development, in the wake of the increasing diffusion of
mobile phone internet access. |
