Serj Tankian: Technologies wonderful tool in pro-democracy campaigns
16:26 • 09.10.19
On the sidelines of the World Congress on Information Technologies (WCIT) in Yerevan, System of a Down soloist Serj Tankian spoke of the powerful role of modern technologies in democracy building campaigns.
“Technologies are a wonderful tool in pro-democracy movements. Last year’s Velvet Revolution in Armenia is a bright example of that. Facebook, the ongoing livestreams and their final outcome demonstrate brilliantly what a big role technologies and mobile devices cam play in civil disobedience actions,” he said in his speech at a panel discussion.
Tankian admitted, at the same time. that the powerful democracy-building tools may a;sp have the highly negative adverse effect. “They may similarly ‘serve’ in a negative sense in uneducated democratic societies,” the rock musician noted.
