The article, in summary, goes over how there are so many users of social media around the world, especially young adults. Apparently, terrorists absolutely love twitter.

Instead of direct attacks like 9/11, people are now targeted worlds away. And that's far more terrifying.

"The next big thing is getting smaller and smaller."

Interesting times ahead!
