The rise of relatively inexpensive mass communication devices enables billions of people to see news in real time complete with video. These devices also enable rapid organization of like minded individuals to take specific actions. The net result is that we can expect all sorts of ethnic and religious groups attempting to destabilize any number of existing governments.

Only North Korea seems able to totally stifle its masses by depriving them access of news from the outside world. One wonders how long they will be able to do so without even more brutal suppression of their people.

We are heading into a period of increasing instability around the world. IMHO.
