Text + Politics = Power
In the vast technological world we live in, we find ourselves continually in contact through our technology. Because of the texting capabilities of the cell phone people can be constanlty informed with the latest news, sports, and gosip. Texting can also be a means for political change. As seen in the Philippines, texting was able to usurp a corrupt politican and bring the promise of change, with a simple device that everyone uses. Cell phones have the power to make everyone’s voice heard in a society. If people in the United States were as charged as the people in the Philippines, then we could elicit stronger changes as our previous generations did in the civil charges of the 1960’s.
