This article talked mainly about the idea of smart mobs in relation to technology. In the Philippines the then president Joseph Estrada was peacefully overthrown by smart mobs of the country. Basically citizens of the country who were dissatisfied with Estrada's policies got together through text messaging and organized a time and place for a rally against him.
In class we had the pleasure to do a search on the different stories about smart mobs. I came up with the fact that these groups usually are meant to be secretive although governments have now become more educated and aware of them. Also, although there are some serious smart mobs that serves a purpose, most of the ones I found were all done in humor.
