Media and technology for good or bad

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, more commonly known as ISIS, seems more media and technology savvy than other terrorist groups.  As Official: American May Be Key in ISIS Social Media Blitz says, an American-Syrian who grew up and studied computer science in the US may be behind that savvy.

On occasion I still see article headlines that blame or praise social media for something about our modern day lives.  But social media and sophisticated technology are neutral in their own right.  They are simply platforms and tools to do a world of good or cast a pall of bad.  So whatever your purpose, choose well.
