communication and the new millenium
I’m amazed at how important Twitter has become with regards to the crisis in Iran. Youtube, remaining an important resource, has also played a key role, informing us about what’s going on over there, as their Government tries to censor and stop the outward flow of communication. Technology, the internet and all these social networking communities have truly revolutionized much more than just the music industry.
The whole “i-reporter” phenom on CNN is another good example. Everyday people are becoming more and more empowered.
On the down side, information overload, eye strain and slowed down servers due to a growing number of people and businesses competing against one another for success seems to be the headaches of the day.
I’m not immune. And sorry to those of you who find this nothing more but a contribution to the madness. Guilty.
It’s a good thing Pres. Obama has put forth more resources against International Cyber attacks, they’ve increased exponentially against the US by clever, computer savvy Russian teenagers. Not to mention all of our National Security breaches with China.
I guess we are both empowered and vulnerable at the same time.
We’ll figure it out. Shit, Myspace is still trying to pull their heads out of their asses with all their glitches and bullshit.
Patience is a virtue I suppose.
Hope you found this entertaining, I have created a new category for my blog, “random thoughts”. I plan on writing blurbs about this that and the other thing from time to time, just to vent or think outloud.
Rock on,
Joe
