The internet has taken a dramatic impact on citizen's participation. It seems as though blogs are the new way to spread the news, twitter is the way to share it and facebook is the way to talk about it. The majority of the people around the word are now internet dependent and it is obvious everywhere you look. The internet has always been a great tool for communication and entertainment but now its branching out and heavily becoming a part of education as well as working as a tool to bring together people with common interests.
One of the most influential stories about the internet bringing people together is the chaos in the Middle East which was triggered by facebook groups and other viral organizations. The fact that multiple nations can go through their own revolution in a matter of a couple months shows the strength and influence of the internet when used correctly.
