CauseWired: Spare the Paperwork

I really liked this chapter, but then again, I kind of like every chapter. CauseWired incorporates a medium that we are all know of/participate in--that being Facebook. Also, it discusses events that we've lived through, which makes it much more relatable and interesting. I find the concept of being 'causewired' really fascinating because, like this book says, although we may not accomplish much by means of raising money or evoking great change, we spur interest and knowledge--which is so much more powerful than what people initially realize.

Another aspect that I really like about this book, and, more specifically, this chapter, is that I've learned how biased the news is. They'll report the 'popular' and 'interesting' spin of an event just for a good story; however, that is awful. I like reading about average people who are advocating for change, and, at the same time, I like learning things that I didn't previously even realize correlated with such events from watching the news. And, concerning this chapter, I like when Watson states that, "The CauseWired phenomenon is intrinsically democratic. It puts the tools of attention, and fundraising, and action into the hands of any citizen who cares enough to use them." I like that because it's true..if you're truely dedicated to informing people on an event, you will because there is always someone else who shares your passion for justice.
