The study focused on the introduction of information and communications revolution, its intellectual, scientific and content, and how the Arab citizen, in general, and the Jordanian society, in particular, dealt with this shift in the human thought caused by the information and communications revolution especially in the period 2010-2017.

The political and security impact of the information and communications revolution in the Arab region, in general, and Jordan, in particular, in the period 2010-2017 was studied.

In its results, the study articulated the foundations of the information and communication revolution and explained its general scientific perspective as well as some aspects related to its structure, its products, and its most important applications.

The study also found that the Arab and Jordanian citizens interacted vigorously and enthusiastically with the information and communication revolution, especially with the new media and social networking sites.

This interaction also had profound political, security and social dimensions, which were proved in the events that have been taking place in the region for more than seven years, in the so-called " Arab Spring".

The study showed also that the information and communications revolution has generally had clear political and security implications in the Arab region.

The effects manifested in instigating, organizing movements, and coordinating activists or even directing organizational activities.

This was accompanied by extensive awareness and news spreading activities that have taken place in the Arab arena, including Jordan, throughout the period covered by the study.
