Technology now has the ability to orchestrate protests and mass-mobilization in a completely new way.

Not only have the methods of organization transformed, but so have the causes driving people. Thanks to technology, an individual with very little power or influence can start something massive on the Internet on a blog or discussion board. This micro-influence can have monumental results, similar to ones generated by the likes of Gandhi or Martin Luther King.
Technology also has the power to provide positive alternatives to violence protesting. Individuals on the Internet can sign petitions, initiate fundraisers and implement positive change.
