[EN]: Where were you when news of the tsunami hit Japan in 2011? How about when Michael Jackson died? Probably online, according to many experts who claim that social media has become the main media source for hundreds of millions of people. Not just in the U.S., either; Facebook alone has more than 900 million users spread across the globe as of 2012. Other social media giants like Twitter have facilitated revolution against unjust leaders and warned people of impending natural disaster. In fact, so many people regularly interact online that if the Internet were a nation, it would exceed the Americas, Europe and the Middle East combined in population. No wonder more than 13 million members of the online community used Reddit and other media platforms to protest SOPA, a proposed Internet censorship bill. Keep this graphic in mind next time you log on, because knowledge is power — and a little knowledge goes a long way in the Internet Age.

[ES – Traducido]: ¿Dónde estabas cuando la noticia de que el tsunami azotó a Japón en el 2011? ¿Qué tal cuando Michael Jackson murió? Probablemente en línea, de acuerdo con muchos expertos que afirman que las redes sociales se ha convertido en la principal fuente de comunicación para cientos de millones de personas. No sólo en los EE.UU. tampoco; Facebook por si solo tiene más de 900 millones de usuarios repartidos por todo el mundo a partir de 2012. Otros gigantes de los medios sociales como Twitter han facilitado la revolución contra los líderes injustos y advirtió a la gente de un desastre natural inminente. De hecho, muchas personas interactúan regularmente en línea que si Internet fuera un país, sería superior a las Américas, Europa y el Medio Oriente combinados de la población. No es extraño que más de 13 millones de miembros de la comunidad en línea usen Reddit y otras plataformas de medios para protestar de SOPA, un proyecto de ley de censura de Internet propuesto. Mantén este gráfico en mente la próxima vez que inicies la sesión, ya que el conocimiento es poder – y un poco de conocimiento va a un largo camino en la era de Internet.
