Human beings are social creatures - not occasionally or by accident but always. Sociability is one of our lives as both cause and effect.

Indeed, the best practical reason to think that social media can help bring political change is that both dissidents and governments think they can. All over the world, activists believe in the utility of these tools and take steps to use them accordingly. And the governments they contend with think social media tools are powerful, too, and are willing to harass, arrest, exile, or kill users in response.

How we put our collective talents to work is a social issue, not solely a personal one.

Tools get socially interesting after they're no longer technologically interesting.
