The essay “Small Change” was very interesting. When I read the title I wasn’t sure what to expect from the essay. I began reading and it began by telling the story of a past event of segregation. The essay explained how they organized sit-ins without the technological advantages we have today. They were organized by people spreading the world by mouth and photographs.
It explained how technology now is helping people who have strong opinions against something come together and possibly do something about it. People like to come together who have the same ideas. Facebook and Twitter help people come together because they have different people becoming friends who have never met. As the author said “Twitter is a way of following (or being followed by) people you may never have met. They can follow you by seeing what you post, therefore agreeing with your ideas, becoming followers.
I agree with this essay. I agree with the facts that people are easier connected with other people. I agree with the fact that technology is making a revolution. I also agree with the fact that talking over the internet can bring people together, and they could change the future, or even the current issues people face daily.
