Social media for change

Social media has helped bring revolutions in some parts of the world, but we in Pakistan are still far from any such revolution. We use social websites (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc) just for entertainment. The youth of this land upload their funny photos, videos and tagged pictures, songs from different websites to other friends, groups. Friends and bloggers comment with funny remarks and waste time only on chatting and hahahaha texting.

It is the role of social media that people in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya are now free, movements in Yemen, Syria and other Arab Muslim countries are on high peak against the dynastic governments and dictatorships.

Death of one labourer brought the revolution in Tunisia only with the help of social media. But we seem to avoid such topics of interest as suicide of Raja Khan Rind and Dhani Bux Soho from Nowshehroferoz and Nasirabad, Sindh have been forgotten. Shouldn’t we use social media to our advantages as well?
