Information and Communications Technology gives a chance for people from around the world to communicate; leading to the success of various advocacies. A perfect example for ICT as a medium for social movement would be the use of social networking sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Another would be users creating websites, webpages, even blogs to promote their cause. Amazing, right? It’s a whole new opportunity for everyone.
Information and Communications Technology also has different impacts when it is used as a medium for promoting social change. May it be cyber-bullying, promotion for feminism, abolition of slavery, or industrial revolution, ICT gives an opportunity for people to be aware of the problems in the society and offers them the opportunity participate and be part of these social changes.
It gave us awareness on what is going on around the world. It also gave us voices to speak for ourselves and act on our own will. ICT is another word for freedom.
