Hactivists …only the coolest word ever!

Oppositional Politics and the Internet basically talked about the world wide web creating identities and cultures for people. The internet is an amazing tool for communication now-a-days, with myspace and facebook anyone can find anyone and enter their lives. I never knew the word "Hackers" could be a positive term for people who innovate the computer by sharing researched material, communication, and construction of communities. But once the "war on terror" happened, many people associated hackers with terrorists. As a protest a group called "hacktivists" took a stand against it.

The internet used to coined as a geek machine but now a million different kinds of people use it, esp. women to activate their feminist movements. The Internet has undergone transformations to become more democratic.
