"Give them the Internet. Let them play in the freedom of cyberspace,
let them become dependent on the flow of information-rich sources;
saturate the *people* with this free exchange of Idea."
"How much would it actually cost to wire everyone there to the net?"
"the US has chosen to project the wrong "brand" to the Middle East.
-- give 'em hospitals and the Internet and project a brand of "helper"
instead of "invader" and you're likely to win more hearts and minds,
and at the cost that is quite a bit smaller.'
there is a dark side, also, to the internet, dave. it has been a tool
for spreading fear, hate and pure evil. the telephone, telegraph,
radio, and television were all supposed to educate and enlighten, but
the spread of cults, fundamental religion, terrorism, and disingenuous
propaganda has also been aided by these devices. another word for the
internet could be the DIS-information highway. it has been a portal
for pornography, spam,and e-bay; promoting lust and greed. in other
words, providing a medium for us to observe and participate in the
collapse of civilization...
a jaundiced perspective...
