Sažetak
Jasmine Revolution in Tunis and Revolution 2.0 in Egypt, with the wide use of Facebook and Twitter for the virtual convocation of the real rallies, the role of Internet in the movements in Libya, Syria, Bahrain etc. across the Arab world, and the recent M15 movement or #spanishrevolution in Madrid, demonstrate the trend of intertwining between the e-democracy and the longing for political democracy, basilar one in some southern Mediterranean countries, and direct one on the European shores of the same sea. Instruments of the new technologies are the result of the technological progress, they participate in the progress of the social communications, but there is no a strict correlation between them and a social progressivity of the political content transmitted by those instruments. The new technologies have been used sometimes for a propagation of very conservative or even reactionary positions (Khomeini’s audiocassettes, Osama’s video messages, Vatican’s multimedia etc.), and not only as a vehicle for the better new world. On the other hand – as showed in different countries – even the most penetrating use of the new technologies is not able to move the waters if the critical level of the social malcontent is not achieved at least in one of the main social strata in the country. Revolution can be propagated and organized in Internet, but (still) cannot be caused by Internet.
