>"Smart mobs emerge when communication and computing technologies amplify
>human talents for cooperation. The impacts of smart mob technology
>already appear to be both beneficial and destructive, used by some of
>its earliest adopters to support democracy and by others to coordinate
>terrorist attacks. The technologies that are beginning to make smart
>mobs possible are mobile communication devices and pervasive computing -
>inexpensive microprocessors embedded in everyday objects and
>environments."
