The 1976 student uprising VS The #FeesMustFall.Movement......How communication flowed

Greetings friends. Today I want use to talk about how students in 1976 uprising communicated as compared to our 2015 Fees Must Fall movement. Well I believe there is quit a difference on how  both these events where communicated, meaning how did students really mobilize each other. Well we can actually understand that during 1976 there was no real social media such as twitter Facebook, or at least black students did not have the access to such platforms. One may generally understand that the 1976 protest was instigated or rather published through what we call "The Word of mouth of which I believe this was limited, because only students of Soweto got the messages/information, that is why Soweto was the highlight of this event. During that time all students country-wide where faced by the same problem, but unfortunately through limited resources to communicate ,it resulted in only Soweto students being able to Fight Against the Regime, because there was no means to spread the message to other parts of the country. On the other hand the mobilization of students during the fees must fall movement was one of a much more effective influence , as we can note the fees must fall movement began #Trending on social media platforms such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. This was very effective because most students across the country  use of social media, so it was much easier for students to engage share and mobilize each other to fight against this phenomenon. During the fees must fall protests we saw the involvement of all institutions because the message was clearly communicated across the country. What is your view on the topic. #Lets Talk
