Is anyone else psyched about what we as a community, as a free society, can accomplish using these tools? There's so much media that the public has direct access to now (like forums and youtube, and even here on answers) to convey views and bring about new ideas in our democratic society! It totally promotes free speech! It's great! (Yeah this isn't the first time I've noticed...just a somehow enlightening moment! :D) So it's not just the big wigs who have all the power over the media--and thats awesome! Disregarding all the useless junk on the internet, what do you think could come of these tools we all have access to? What kind of impact would it make if we gave citizens in underprivileged places like Iraq or African nations access to the internet? Wouldn't that sense of connection through communication greatly increase foreign relations and world peace?! Is that a crazy thought? I think it's plausible in the near future. If there's a will....you know...
