On Social Media a Useful Tool ofr Community Leaders

Submitted by Jeff Strate (not verified) on Fri, 2010-01-22 01:42.

Before social media - even before the phone and the telegraph - urgent news in small communities was still transmitted quickly and efficiently.

The village and tribe survived well enough and without the need of a technologically complex communications system dependent on large corporations, satellites, broadband and hand-held and lap devices requiring batteries made by other large corporations. 

Our next catastrophic military conflict might be prompted by an attempt to control or defend some obscure aspect of an increasingly complex communications infrastructure ... kind of like what we are currently inclined to do for oil.
