To be successful in today's Connected Age, a person doesn't need to be tech savvy. Instead, a mindset of connected activism - where information is widely and freely distributed - is the key to success in today's digital age. Author Allison Fine describes the core ingredients of connected activism-including self-determination and meaningful participation-and discusses how digital technology can enhance efforts to solve social problems. Momentum is a road map for executive directors, board members and funders who want to use the new digital tools to effectively and inexpensively strengthen relationships-which, in the end, is what being connected is all about.
