New Political Tool: Text Messaging
I believe technology surprises us everyday. It's funny how already existing technology can all of a sudden take new meaning. I never realized that something that we use everyday as a form of socializing could be used in serious situations like mobilizing protests, dodging authorities, and firing off political spam. Text messaging provides an underground channel for construction. Even though I think the SMS idea is positive, it can have its negative side. The same way good people can use this method terrorist can. I believe that is biggest negative to this method.
