I read a book last semester for Dr. Miller called Enders Game. It reminded me about the mob. It has a little kid and his sister creating blogs that are of political content. The kids are writing as if they were older. They final gained enough attention to sway the opinions of well educated politicians and their view of the world. It is a very futuristic book, but that I think can be possible if a blog gained enough attention. I think that Barack Obama is using the internet to his advantage too. So, with the use of technology and the mob anything is possible.

Very interesting, I may have to read that book! So basically, they used the “mob” to their advantage!
