Many of you will remember December 2010, when a Tunisian produce vendor set himself on fire and sparked what became known as the Arab Spring.
The name stemmed from the 'People's Spring' and 'Prague Spring' that described movements towards democracy, rather than the time of year per se.
On 28 January 2011, the Egyptian government shut down social media platforms and later the entire internet, but the revolution and uprising continued to spread like wildfire.
So, how did the uprising continue despite the shutting down of social media platforms and the internet taking away the major tools of the uprising?
Both the Prague and Arab uprisings shared common information dissemination. That is 'analogue' intelligence, the discussions between humans at places and times where people gather over drinks or social engagements.
That is how information was disseminated without the assistance of social media platforms.
Word of mouth is also more powerful for one reason.
