Description of the Course: There is no doubt that Arab Spring appraisal was possible due to the Internet and mobile technology spread.  At the end of the twentieth century, somewhere between 1980 and 1995, began one of the great revolutions in human history: the information revolution and New Digital Era. This revolution is not specific to a particular nation or a particular area, but affects all humanity. The course will discuss the influence of the Internet revolution in all spheres of life: economy, labor market, society, nation-states, ideology, education, relationships, romantic relationships, family, communication and so on. Media across the globe have been focusing on a “Twitter Revolution” in Iran as hundreds of thousands of street protestors purportedly mobilized their demonstrations using the microblogging service.
