Take flash mobs as an example of mobility. With an adroit use of the new media, it is possible to gather a large group of people on short notice. Say that the city council tagged something onto the agenda at the last minute, in the hopes that they would be able to sneak it through without a bunch of public comment. The chambers are nearly empty, but one man in the back row with a smartphone noticed the move. He has the capacity to have the chambers full of peasants with pitchforks in about fifteen minutes. That’s mobility.
