Social Media Turns Government into a “Sideshow”

With the fast-pace changes in today’s technology people involved with governments across the world are realizing that social media and social networking are becoming more and more important to global affairs, sometimes over government’s.
The things that are said over the internet almost become more important to society in some ways then what actually happens in the traditional governmental places. Governments are now working to use social media to their advantage when trying to come back from “tragedy”. Iceland being one of the country’s that has embraced the changes in technology and how significant it has become in today’s society have seen an amazing turn around after a crisis in 2008. 
In today’s world, I think it’s important for government, or people in authority, to take advantage of what the internet brings to the workplace, and to embrace the influence that it has on today’s societies. As everything moves towards social media, and internet use it’s crucial that governments are able to effectively use these tools as these are one of the fastest ways that information travels.
