As far as i can ascertain , the Arabic Community , in general , uses & to a certain degree utilizes the following of Social Media Networking Sites ( Facebook - Google + Hangout - Twitter - Linkedin - Youtube - LiveLeak - Intstagram - Pinterest - Reditt - Yahoo Messenger - MY Space - Flicker - Quora - DeviantArt - Foursquare ) . Now the extent & degree of such Utilization ranges from the point of looking at the Social Media Sphere as an Enabler to one's Social Activity , going through to agreeing that such Media has replaced the Traditional One , & ending with considering that such Activity is actually a Virtual One . Of course , such Social Media is also used as a source of Non-Social feed such the current Political & Economical news , tidings & affairs . Nonetheless . it is essential to bear in mind that the extent to which the Social Media is used & utilized differs from a certain age group to another . In other words the younger you are relative to others , the more astute , assiduous , studious & self-taught you are in using & utilizing the Social Media in particle , & , the Internet in general . So , you'll find that the Utilization Percentage is the highest amongst the Millennials ( The Internet Generation ) , which was born between1976 &2000 , also aptly known as ( Generation Y - Gen Y - Gen Yers - Igen - Echo Boomers ) . And it's pretty much easy to tell as to why they're described as the Internet Generation . It's because this Generation spends more time Online more than watching the T.V , since they've come of age at a time when the Internet Connectivity was & still at it's highest & flowering . For such Age Group the Internet is a means of entertainment as well as education ( Necessity ) respectively . So They're , thus , pretty much familiar with not only Surfing the Internet , but they're well-established in using & utilizing all the gizmos & gadgets that came & are still coming along with it , such as Cell Phones , Electronic Organizers , I Phone , I Pad , I Pod , MP3 Players , & the whole9 yard , which come innately & as a second nature to such Generation , & , are just considered as mere basic staples of existence . Generation X ( Which was born between1960 &1980 ) ranks second to the Y one , when it comes to the Internet & it's role in their lives , especially when this generation came of age at a time when the Internet was merely in it's inception & infancy , & , wasn't as developed & evolved , as it is now . So , the Internet is a Necessity first before it is recreational & entertaining to such Age Group. And such basic staples were considered Novelties . In distant third ( Technology Utilization Wise ) Lays the so-called the Baby-Boomers , who were born between1946 &1964 .This age group identifies itself with certain Historical & Cultural Events & Dates much more than Technology & it's Ins & Outs . So, they'd relate to & chime with , for instance ( First man on the moon - Birth of Rock & Roll - Civil Rights Movement -Women’s Rights Movement - Protest of the Vietnam War ... e.t.c ) . Now , as an Arabic Citizen , & , most importantly , as a human being , i have no problem , qualm , pang or queasiness none-whatsoever , in dealing with the Internet in general , & , the Social Media in particular . I do believe that such tools are not only Empowering , Uplifting & Enriching , but also a Human Right & not a privilege , Educational , Eye-Opening & Life-Changing & Enlightening & Illuminating . ( & That's the way it goes ) .
