Big Data & Web Communities: Connect with a Click
Technology has bridged us globally, and with this infrastructure in place we are seeing movements and innovations take place before our eyes. With the rise of Big Data and mobile access to the developing world we now have the ability to serve and access communities that before were to far reaching to provide, healthcare, education, banking and resources. This has also helped create and mobilize disparate communities who all are working towards the same vision of a better world. Today online activism is not just about a click, but it is preceded through offline activity like community organizing and the leveraging the talent and experience from people all over the world.
