Important Technology
In a world of social networking, Instagrams, Twitter, Pinterest,
instant messaging, and Facebook, technology can help spread
the word. These networks can organize and mobilize individuals
from around the globe, sometimes for political or humanitarian
purposes. World perspectives on local events can help shape
response, action, and policy. Have you used technology or
social media to learn about or share information about an event?
In this Discussion you will analyze the role of technology in
global events, using this week’s Learning Resources and Week
4 Notes and Readings.
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.
By Day 3
Post a response (at least 200–300 words) to the following
prompt:
Not long ago, we had to wait for the evening news or morning
newspaper to find out what happened in the world. In today’s
technological world we have instantaneous access to global
events. Some believe that the nature of instantaneous access to
global events has strong political impact.
Select a current event happening in the world or your
community. Describe the event, why you picked it, and explain
how technology played a role in the way the news of this event
spread. Discuss the benefits and downside of having so much
access to local and world news.
