Technology and particularly the Internet have caused many changes in
political activism.  Recent revolutions in many countries in the Middle East
and North Africa have started in large part due to social networking Web
sites like Facebook and Twitter.  Social networking has also played a role
in protests and riots in numerous countries.  The whistleblower Web site
Wikileaks has had a tremendous impact in exposing government corruption.
Mainstream media no longer has a monopoly on political commentary as anybody
can set up a blog or post a video online.  Political activists can network
together online.  Aspects of engineering, computer science, mathematics can
be applied to political activism.
