Internet makes things easier.

Internet makes things greater in quantity, but less in quantity, if you
got my previous sentence.

It’s one thing to turn out for a rally, but it’s another to post something supporting a rally, simply because it’s easier to.

While the internet may rally lots of support, you’re not too sure exactly who’s supporting you, and whether or not he’s really interested in something.

People tend to do things they wouldn’t do normally over the internet because firstly it’s easier, secondly the chance of implication is much less.

That’s why internet may prove one to have “support”, but actually all it’s capable of is allowing people to KNOW and whether they’re mildly interested or fanatically supportive is another thing altogether.

Interesting rant, i see you’ve included a long line of interesting subtle references, Odex being 1 among them. I certainly agree with you in terms of what you are saying, but still, how would i enforce change, without having to do it from a whole new beginning? To enforce change, we must first have the power, so let’s hope that we can enforce change through the old system, as well as the new.

Here hoping that Tama-nee pic will be uploaded to MoéFactor. Pretty please?
Excellent reading. A precise and down-to.earth opinion about the shameful lack of knowledge of political leaders on technology.

We got a rant from DM! It’s clever as usual but social and cultural trends has lagged behind technological changes especially with the Internet to be something more then just a technology change. It empowers humanity to the levels that it frightens people. With great power comes great responsibility but people forget the second part of that line nowadays. In my opinion, education goes *some* or maybe a lot of way to lessening piracy but it will take generations. Having to agree with the others and the poster himself, we are in a transition, it is like upon the cusp of something amazing. I won’t be so pessimistic to say that it might not happen but I won’t go around saying that it can happen. The internet is slowing destroying the adage that “The sum is greater then its parts.” I am seeing the rise of the cult of the individual not that it’s the fault of the Internet. Many of the changes and trends are built up from the internet and not from the internet itself. The men in power don’t see that, they view by tearing down or scaling the tendrils of the internet… the problems can be solved. I personally think the internet is merely acting as the expression. A form of means that is becoming into an end of itself. Time is needed, but the impatience plague us today.
