Last week in class we talked about the flash mob. Many of you were new to the concept, and I was mentioning that I thought that the flash mob has grown up into something useful with the recent protests in Moldova. Is it possible that all of these new web tools have an infancy in which they are fun and interesting, but lack a larger social context or good. Do you think that other new, fun tools will grow into important pieces of our social fabric? Think of an example from the past where this has happened.
