“The internet, like social media, seems to me to depend on how you use it, where you spend your time on it. I used to be quite anti-social media, but I can see now that it can be a good tool for artists, a way for us to speak to each other outside of standard economies and across languages and borders.” WayI CanUseSeemsUsedArtistSpeakLanguageSocialEconomyMediaDependsInternetStandardsToolsSocial MediaUsed To BeBordersAnti Social Author:Micheline Aharonian Marcom
“I began to firmly change my mind when I saw how young Egyptians used Facebook, for example, to begin to coalesce their social justice movement in their country. And a good Iranian friend of mine showed me how also in Iran, till the government shut it down, much was communicated via social media. So I'm not against. I use the internet regularly to do research. It's great but you have to use your discernment, especially if researching content.” IfsMindCountryUseGovernmentYoungUsedSocialJusticeSawsMediaExampleMovementMinesInternetResearchSocial JusticeSocial MediaIranDiscernmentIranian Author:Micheline Aharonian Marcom
