The communications revolution has given millions of people both a wider and more detailed understanding of the world. Because of technology, ordinary citizens enjoy access to information that formerly was available only to elites and nation-states. One consequence of this change is that citizens have become acutely conscious of environmental destruction, entrenched poverty, health catastrophes, human rights abuses, failing education systems, and escalating violence. Another consequence is that people possess powerful communication tools to coordinate efforts to attack those problems.

It's so true!!!! Thanks for this and ALL the marvelous quotes you bring to us, ~C. And I have tears of gratitude
for each and every person who ever contributed to the existence of this communications revolution–everyone who developed hardware, software, infrastructure, whatever their contribution, direct or indirect, large or small–
and for every person who USES the technology of the communications revolution in ways that benefit, improve, and uplift.
So awesome. And I especially love that this communication ability bypasses INSTITUTIONS such as (but not limited to) governments, enabling the grassroots to empower one another.
