Abstract
Every social movement is in part shaped by the technology available. Activists have always utilized the latest communication devices to recruit, share and distribute information, and mobilize support—whether it be the pen, printing press, telegraph, radio, television, the Internet, or high-speed digital technologies. Though communication and information have historically been fundamental sources of power and counter-power of domination and social change, this has been exasperated by the recent digital revolution which has advanced a new repertoire now at the disposal of activists.
