O potencjałach i deficytach rozwojowych wynikających z komunikacji sieciowej w Afryce Północnej

In recent years use of internet technology in North Africa resulted in an increased dynamism of social relations which manifested itself among others in mass social movements. It seems that without the modern technology the protests would not have the farreaching social consequences that they had. The aim of the article is to present the socio-demographic factors affecting the emerging images of users in North Africa. Possibilities and limitations for the development of Internet will be presented, in particular in recent years in Maghreb countries. The article will also refer to social portals which have become a space for free public activities.
