The world is quaking. Egypt and Tunisia are overthrown; Gabon, Jordan, Sudan, Syria and Yemen are rocking. Some say this is thanks to Twitter and Facebook. Others, notably Malcolm Gladwell and Evgeny Morozov, say that social media are politically irrelevant and/or dangerous. China has censored "Egypt", Syria has legalized Facebook, and the president of Sudan has declared he will use social media to crush his enemies. You couldn't make this stuff up. What's going on? Who to believe? Fear not. I can explain. Everyone is right, and what's going on is nothing more than the end of international politics and history as we know them. Welcome to our brave new world, and about time, too. The old one sure was miserable while it lasted.
