We reached the age of the Internet and many of us are well versed in what is available through this communication structure. Over the last decade, a boom in Social Networking Sites have enabled us to express our opinions without a second thought, where as formerly many people would write, phone or physically protest and march to press their point. Newspapers indeed have played their part, giving us images, glimpses into the opinions of many. If we take a look at what is happening today within different countries we hear about in the news, we can see how Social Networking has gathered people together quickly, swiftly and silently. This is the age of 'Public Opinion' people can now be heard for whatever cause they are rooting for.
