Social Media's Power (by Montrell Wiley)

When it comes to the proliferation of information and ideas, the internet is unmatched. Social media has been used as a vessel for people's ideas while also being used to dig those ideas into other people's minds. Social media single handedly revolutionized protesting in not too long of a period of time.

Thanks to social media, we have a few events that go down in history as important events or revolutions started from social media campaigns.

So does society benefit from the power that social media hands to us? Measuring this of course would be quite difficult, but we have all seen the type of influence that people can have on others when they are given a platform to distribute that influence. The author of Anti-social Media would definitely agree that social media has power over others, and would not believe this to be power that changes the world in a positive way.
