Social Media is emergent swarm intelligence

Social media is no toy, game, or waste of time, as some intimidated persons routinely label it; rather, it is a new valence and paradigm of human connectivity and communications that has broken the monopoly on human knowledge formerly preserved to the institutionally wealthy and/or repressive regimes. Notice that North Korea, Saudi Arabia, China, Iran, and Russia limit its free access to their citizens. Rejoice that we are blessed to be creative participants in this unfolding deliverance. Another word for social media is swarm intelligence. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swarm_intelligence
