"How cellphones, Twitter and Facebook can make history."
I think Shirky gives great examples of how quickly and easily information can travel with the use of cellphones, Twitter, Facebook and other media sites. He used the earthquake in japan as an example. The fact that Americans were able to find out about the earthquake as a public before the National Geologic society is just completely crazy. It really shows you how quickly things can happen and how careful we need to be while using these forms of media.
