The Revolution Behind The Revolution The Role of Social Media During the Arab Spring Faisal J. Abbas 29 September 2011
Things Are Changing!!! Please TURN ON your smart-phones… If tweeting, please mention @faisal_abbas
Revolutions: What we know about them ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Revolutions: Common Reasons behind them ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
So the question is… What is different about the 2011 Arab Revolutions?
… And where do we find answers these days?
“ To those in power: you are facing a generation which communicates in a way you don’t understand” - Google’s Wael Ghonim - Political Activist/Egypt Interview with Al Arabiya 11.2.2011
Yet, ‘Those in Power’ seem to only want to communicate their way
The ‘Those in Power’ Traditional Communication Model Owned/Sponsored Media ‘ Those in Power’ (Autocratic Leaders) People
However, the dynamics have been changing since the 90’s thanks to Satellite Television and broadband ‘ Those in Power’ (Autocratic Leaders) People Owned/Sponsored Media
… and this is just the beginning! The following are the latest estimates* ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
So what was the ‘contribution’ of ‘social media’? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Thus, it could be argued that the ‘social media’ main contribution is speeding up the ‘Domino Effect’
Case-Study ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Mohammad Bouazizi 1984 - 2011
Final Word “ The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had” - Eric Schimdt – CEO, Google (August 2010)
One thing is for sure, we could never know what to expect next!
