Study Notes
ICT and Social Change
- ICT is an effective instrument for promoting and spreading relevant advocacies on social change, benefiting from being online and not requiring excessive effort to perform.
Ogburn's Theory on Technology and Social Change
- William Fielding Ogburn, a sociologist, published a theory in 1992 suggesting that technology is the primary driving force of social change and progress, but social responses to it weaken its impact.
- The theory outlines three stages of technical development:
- Invention: the stage of developing new forms of technology, e.g., the invention of computers and communication technology.
- Discovery: refers to new ways of understanding and perceiving reality, e.g., the discovery of computer technology changing how people understand aspects of different situations.
- Diffusion: refers to the spread of technology from the point of discovery to other areas, e.g., computer technology and innovations spread from America and Europe to regions in Asia and Africa.
The Role of ICT in Philippine History
- ICT played a significant role in several historical events in the Philippines, including:
- EDSA 1986: Cardinal Sin's call to action via radio broadcast, appealing to Filipinos to protect Juan Ponce Enrile and Fidel Ramos.
- EDSA II 2001: the use of text messaging to mobilize people and overthrow Joseph Estrada as president.
- PhilAWARE application: aimed at increasing disaster reliance, reducing loss, and facilitating cooperation before, during, and after emergencies.
The Social Power of Social Media
- Social media is an effective tool for spreading advocacies and causes, encouraging interaction and conversation.
- Features of social media, such as commenting and sharing, continue the conversation and help achieve social justice.
- Social media movements and trends in recent history include the 2019 Hong Kong Protests, where over a million residents marched to protest a proposed extradition bill, using social media to share live news and updates.
