Can you think of examples of people doing impactful/amazing things? Perhaps this couldn't have been done without access to a computer, the Internet or social communities. The computer was a resource or a tool for them to reach out and do something that's made a difference or even an entrepreneurial venture.

Examples:

Wael Abbas is an Egyptian journalist, blogger and human rights activist who blogs at Misr Digital (Egyptian Awareness). He reported an incident of mob harassment of women, and broadcast several videos of police brutality. His actions lead to the conviction of police for torture, but he has been harassed by the Egyptian government, and his accounts with YouTube and Yahoo were closed. YouTube has since restored his account and most of his videos.
