Social Media and the Arab Spring

I was working on a presentation for class today about social media's affect on the Arab Spring.

As I was doing research, I stumbled upon a BBC documentary about the Arab Spring and how Facebook changed it.

I realize that many people do not understand what exactly the Arab Spring is, so I thought I would share the documentary.  It is captivating and provides a history of the Arab Spring as well as how social media influenced it.

It is on Youtube in four parts. The first part of the video is below.

If you liked that you can find the other parts here:

What did you learn about this revolution, that you were unaware of before?
