Social media for social changes

How I see my use of social media tools supporting concrete social change


I partly agree with the idea that social media impacts social change. I think it is too early for expecting large scale positive changes brought about by social media. Another issue is that social media is not always used for POSITIVE social change.. For instance, use of social media by private interest groups or lobbyists to disadvantage of vulnurable population groups. Yet another problem with use of social media is dependant on internet access, which is not equally accessable over the globe in terms of number of users, internet speed, and acceptance of the changes by broader communities and more importantly by decision makers.
