1.

Avoid technological determinism; recognize that most new features of social movements result from alterations in their social, economic and political contexts rather than from technical innovations as such.

2.

Notice that, as they did during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, twenty-first-century communications innovations always operate in a two-sided way: on one side, lowering the costs of coordination among activists who are already connected with each other; on the other, excluding even more definitively those who lack access to the new communications means and, thus, increasing communications inequality.

3.

Remember that most twenty-first-century social movement activity continues to rely on the local, regional, and national forms of organization that already prevailed during the later twentieth century.

4.

While noting that globalization is shaping the world distribution of social movements, avoid the supposition that the confrontation of globalization and antiglobalization now dominates the social movement scene.
