Instant History
Instant History refers to the immediate recording and sharing of events as they happen, often through social media platforms. This phenomenon allows people to witness significant moments in real-time, such as natural disasters, political protests, or cultural events, providing a unique perspective on history as it unfolds.
The rise of smartphones and digital communication has made it easier for individuals to document and disseminate information quickly. This immediacy can influence public perception and historical narratives, as seen in events like the Arab Spring or the Black Lives Matter movement, where social media played a crucial role in shaping awareness and response.
