  • Meier has found that an increase in cell-phone availability increases the likelihood (at least perceived by the public) that the government might be overthrown by violent means.

      What exactly does this mean? "At least perceived by the public"? That where cell-phone availability is high, the public perceives violent anti-government protest? Or that it is *actually* more likely to happen?

RELEVANT Magazine - Twitter: What's It Doing to Us? - 0 views

  • Researchers at the National Academy of Sciences have found that the lightning pace of media brought on by Facebook feeds and Twitter has made the average person increasingly indifferent to human suffering.
  • When used in a self-centered fashion, it's one more piece of technology increasing the individualistic streak we see so much in Western culture and making us islands unto ourselves.

Social media in Indonesia: Eat, pray, tweet | The Economist - 0 views

  • Indonesia is now the world’s second-largest market for Facebook and the third-largest for Twitter
  • When hobnobbing in cyberspace, Indonesians are especially likely to use avatars rather than real pictures of themselves, says Mr Goh. “Indonesia is a moderate Muslim country where people are creating new virtual identities completely different [from] their real identities,” he explains. Users with black eyes and black hair, say, may create virtual personae with grey eyes and blond hair. This is common elsewhere in East Asia and in the Middle East, too. But Indonesia is a special case, reckons Mr Goh: its social networks freely integrate both real and imagined selves.
