Smart mobs- part 1
Hey everyone, thanks for checking out this blog.
So I guess I’ve kind of always known what ‘smart mobs’ or ‘smart mobbing’ was, but didn’t really know it had a technical name. Smart mobbing is the gathering of groups in the community by means of mobile apps and the internet. The internet is an INCREDIBLE source of, well basically, everything! The internet has so many powers, both positive and negative (that kind of makes it seem like the internet is a superhero!). The internet has been making people become more connected, and greater amounts of people from long distances are able to connect together. Smart mobs could not have even been possible 20 years ago without the internet, and its incredible what sorts of smart mobs have come to fruition since the internet’s explosion in use and popularity. I’m going to spend my time researching some large scale smart mobs and things of that nature, then I’ll report back.
