Every once in awhile a video comes along that inspires thought and challenges assumptions. This video of internet guru Clay Shirky speaking as part of the TED series is no exception. From the advent of the printing press to modern community platforms, Shirky uses stories from China, Iran, the Obama campaign, and other political uprisings to demonstrate the power of Facebook, text messaging and Twitter to make a real impact. This is worth the watch.
