Cyberactivism

Professor of Communications, Sarah Worley came in to our class to speak about cyberactivism. I found the topic to be very interesting. Is there such a thing as cyberactivism? Is it possible for people to be active players in social justice movements from the comfort of their own home? There have been "online marches" in which people all sign up completely online to participate. There have been times when tons of people call, fax, or email the government at the exact same time to clog up the system so that a specific bill can't be voted on.

In my opinion, this is a form of nonviolence. The people that participate are not cowards, because with modern technology, almost anyone can be tracked anywhere. It will be interesting to see what direction social movements move in with new technologies.
